QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE Plays First Concert In Three Years

QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE played live for the first time in over three years on Friday, May 26th at the Sonic Temple festival in Columbus, Ohio.

QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE treated the crowd to an 11-song set that included the live debut of the band’s new single, “Emotion Sickness,” which will appear on their much anticipated 8th album, In Times New Roman…, which drops June 16 on Matador Records.

In Times New Roman… was produced by QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE and mixed by Mark Rankin and will be available on all digital platforms, as well as on vinyl and CD. The vinyl LP will be available globally in black, green, red, silver, and blue.

QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE said in a press release that the reflects the heartache its members have experienced in the past few years. “In Times New Roman…” is “raw, at times brutal and not recommended for the faint of heart. And yet, it’s perhaps the most beautiful and definitely the most rewarding album in their epic discography. Homme’s most acerbic lyrics to date are buoyed by the instantly identifiable QOTSA sonic signature, expanded and embellished with new and unprecedented twists in virtually every song. With ‘In Times New Roman…’ we see that sometimes one needs to look beneath scars and scabs to see beauty, and sometimes the scabs and scars are the beauty.”
