Listen to Queens of the Stone Age’s First Single in Three Years

“Easy Street” arrives with a house-party music video starring a firefighter, a horse, and a Juggalo

It’s been a busy two days for Josh Homme, between his feature on the latest Mastodon single and, today, the premiere of “Easy Street,” the first new music from Queens of the Stone Age since 2023's In Times New Roman.... The band first debuted the song during their 2025 Paris Catacombs concert. 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. “It’s kind of a funny song,” Homme said in a press statement. “It’s like hitting your funny bone, where it’s funny because it hurts and it hurts because it’s funny.

You’re serious, but it’s funny. We made it the way you’d make a demo. No click track, mistakes left in.

It speeds up, it slows down, the claps aren’t great, but they’re not bad, and a bad clap adds this human thing you can’t fake.” Queens of the Stone Age are currently on tour overseas with System of a Down; they’ll head back to North America in September for opening dates on the Foo Fighters’ tour.
