SUSPECT208 has parted ways with its frontman Noah Weiland, the son of late STONE TEMPLE PILOTS singer Scott Weiland.

The group wrote on Instagram: "SUSPECT208. Singer Wanted. Requirements: Age 18 to 24, Must live in LA. To submit your audition: DM us your cover of 'Black Dog' by LED ZEPPELIN. List 3 musical influences." In December, SUSPECT208 released the official music video for its second single, "All Black".
