About Queens of the Stone Age

Queens of the Stone Age are an American rock band formed by Josh Homme after Kyuss, rooted in the Palm Desert scene and known for heavy grooves, dry humour and elastic, riff-led songwriting. Their catalogue moves from stoner-rock origins through the polished menace of Songs for the Deaf, the danceable snap of Villains and the darker reflections of In Times New Roman…, keeping them central to modern alternative rock.
