Former stoner rock pioneers, Queens Of The Stone Age have released eight albums in over 25 years of career. Their sound is a garage-rock with a desert flavor in which Josh Homme's guitars – artfully crossed with the others in the band's equipment – are a trademark super-recognizable. The pinnacle of the band's production remains the historic 2002 album, “Songs For The Deaf”, a fundamental turning point in the American alternative-rock scene, a meeting point for some of the most enlightened minds of the same, a corner crossroads of stoner rock and everything that revolves around it. Their most recent work is “In Times New Roman…”, released in 2023. In its current lineup, the band is composed of Joshua Homme, Troy Van Leeuwen, Dean Fertita, Michael Shuman and Jon Theodore.
