Well that didn’t last long, Suspect208, the band that was originally made up of the children of Slash, Robert Trujillo and Scott Wieland has broken up. Noah Weiland was booted first earlier this year because he was following a little too close to his father’s footsteps. They replaced him with Cody Houston, who has now left the band to be a new parent. Bassist Tye Trujillo has left the band to work with Otto, Thredge and others, leaving only drummer London Hudson, Slash’s kid, and guitarist Niko Tsangaris. So, instead of carrying on the Suspect208 name they have dissolved the band and started S8nt Elektric, their first song called My Eyes is out now. —FULL STORY
