Scott Weiland era: 2011–2015
The band's origins came from a friendship between Bumblefoot and the Votta brothers that dates back many years. Jon Votta and Bumblefoot spoke about putting a band together. It was finally completed when John Moyer joined the band. The band name was created by Vince Votta.
The band started in 2011, with Bumblefoot recording parts for the debut album in between touring with Guns N' Roses. Weiland wrote and recorded the vocals after sharing the song files back and forth with Bumblefoot from 2012 to 2013. Weiland also took place in promotional photo shoots and music videos in October 2014.
Their debut album, which is self-titled, was tentatively scheduled for Spring 2015 and was released in June. On January 21, 2015 they released a 2:06 teaser of the new album. Bumblefoot is the producer and engineer on the album. The first single to be released from the album was "'Til The Dust Is Gone". The album contains 11 tracks. Weiland distanced himself from the project, stating: "I was never in the band. It was something I did when I wasn't doing anything. I was asked to write some lyrics and sing some melodies on this project, but it's not a band I'm in." However, Thal countered by stating "The five of us made an album together. Scott is currently the singer of the band. It's in writing; (There's) no confusion".
On December 3, 2015, Scott Weiland was found dead on his tour bus around 9PM, one day before he was to go on stage in Minnesota with his band The Wildabouts. On December 22, 2015, "In memory of Scott Weiland...", Art of Anarchy made their album available free online for their fans.
Scott Stapp era: 2016–present
On May 3, 2016, Creed singer Scott Stapp announced that he will replace Scott Weiland as the lead singer of Art of Anarchy.
In July 2016 at 2016 APMA, Scott Stapp said that he would debut with the group as their new singer in October of that same year and that a new album would be released in 2017. "It is a perfect mixture of all the bands each member has come from. So, it's like Disturbed meets Guns N' Roses, meets Creed."
The band's first single of their second studio album is called "The Madness" and their debut live performance with Scott Stapp as their vocalist, took place at Gramercy Theatre in New York on October 27, 2016. The band's second album and first with Stapp as vocalist, also called The Madness is set to be released on March 24, 2017.
