Queens of the Stone Age

Formed in the desert rock scene of the late 1990s, Queens of the Stone Age built their reputation on a sound that is heavy, hypnotic, and deeply grooved. Led by guitarist and vocalist Josh Homme, the band blends sludgy riffs with unexpected melodic hooks, creating music that sits somewhere between hard rock and something altogether harder to categorise.

Over the course of their career, they have released a string of critically acclaimed albums that cemented their place among the most inventive rock acts of their generation. Their output ranges from punishing, down-tuned heaviness to surprisingly sleek, radio-friendly rock, often within the same record.
