Queens of the Stone Age (QOTSA or simply Queens) are a hard rock/alternative rock band from the Palm Desert, California area in the United States. The band is frequently labelled stoner rock, although they reject the label. QOTSA developed a style of riff-oriented, heavy music which the band's founder and mastermind Josh Homme described as 'robot rock', saying that he "wanted to create a heavy sound based on a solid jam, and just pound it into your head". Since then, their sound has evolved to incorporate a variety of different styles and influences.

While in high school, Josh got together with locals Brant Bjork, Chris Cockrell, (later Nick Oliveri), and John Garcia resulting in the formation of Kyuss (firstly known as "Sons of Kyuss" - name Kyuss comes from a creature from Dungeons and Dragons Role Playing Game). QOTSA formed in 1997, rising from the ashes of Kyuss and began playing together during the now legendary Desert Sessions. Homme has drawn all of the members from that diverse group of musicians for QOTSA. The band originally formed under the name Gamma Ray, but almost faced a lawsuit from the European metal band of the same name.(read more)
