It\u2019s been a busy two days for Josh Homme, between his feature on the latest Mastodon single<\/a> and, today, the premiere of \u201cEasy Street,\u201d the first new music from Queens of the Stone Age<\/a> since 2023’s In Times New Roman\u2026<\/em><\/a>. The band first debuted the song during their 2025 Paris Catacombs concert.<\/a> The release arrives with a music video directed by Tony Wolski and Christopher Gruse, where Homme runs from a rowdy gang of neighbors (including a Juggalo, a firefighter, and his QOTSA bandmates) before they all come together for a kooky house party. Check that out below.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s kind of a funny song,\u201d Homme said in a press statement. \u201cIt\u2019s like hitting your funny bone, where it\u2019s funny because it hurts and it hurts because it\u2019s funny. You\u2019re serious, but it\u2019s funny. We made it the way you\u2019d make a demo. No click track, mistakes left in. It speeds up, it slows down, the claps aren\u2019t great, but they\u2019re not bad, and a bad clap adds this human thing you can\u2019t fake.\u201d<\/p>\n Queens of the Stone Age are currently on tour overseas with System of a Down; they\u2019ll head back to North America in September for opening dates on the Foo Fighters\u2019 tour.<\/p>\n
