Straight Outta Burbank... is the second EP of The Burbank Trilogy by hard rock band Stone Sour. The EP consists of another five cover songs from bands that influenced the members.

Development

Stone Sour started working on its second album trilogy during the 2015 year. Guitarist Josh Rand stated, “Back in February of 2014 while Stone Sour was touring, Corey approached me about Stone Sour doing a cover of the Metal Church song "The Dark" for the movie Fear Clinic. I thought it would be cool not only to record "The Dark", but the five cover songs that we had played on that tour. The idea was not to shy away from a song because it was popular or pick a band that most people might not have heard, but to pick ones that truly meant something to one of us at some point in our life.” There will be two more covers EPs after the first is released. And a picture of Lzzy Hale was posted on her Instagram file which Rand was in the picture. However, Hale stated in that photo that she would be doing a duet on the EP with Taylor himself.

Marketing

The album's cover artwork was revealed on November 9, 2015. While the tracklist was also revealed on the same day on the Rolling Stone magazine.^[1] The whole EP will be released on Black Friday of this year on the Record Store Day the same as last record.
