Listen to the Entire Them Crooked Vultures Album
Back in September, Paste drew up the ideal plan for Them Crooked Vultures to take over the world in the most classically rock ‘n’ roll fashion possible: play some live shows, avoid the press and let the good word spread naturally. Vultures’ power trio basically followed our advice, too. For awhile, that is. (Oh, hello, magazine cover.) Leaked song snippets and live YouTube clips were all we knew of these birds for their first months of existence. So for that mystique, Grohl, Jones and Homme, we thank you.... read more

Dave Grohl, John Paul Jones and Josh Homme walk into a bar... At first, the lineup of Them Crooked Vultures sounded so good it just had to be a joke, but there's no doubting it anymore: The new supergroup most likely to create something new and nostalgia-free just released its first single. And it rocks. Hard.... read more
Found in: Music, NewsThem Crooked Vultures Open for Arctic Monkeys, But What's Next?
Being in a supergroup is tricky business. You've got every member's fame in its own right, the press angling for a scoop on just why said band formed and cynical fans guessing that it might all just be for, you know, the Benjamins. But such doesn't seem the case for Them Crooked Vultures, the new supergroup—ahem, rock band—featuring Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones, Queens of the Stone Age's Josh Homme and the Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl.... read more
Found in: Music, NewsDave Grohl/Josh Homme/John Paul Jones Supergroup Info Slowly Trickles Out
As of last month, all anyone really knew about the Dave Grohl/Josh Homme/John Paul Jones collaboration was that it was happening and that Grohl told Mojo in 2005 that the group "wouldn't suck." Finally, we know that the group has a name (Them Crooked Vultures), some decent social-networking skills and, potentially, a hush-hush gig coming up.... read more

Josh Homme sure hasn't lost his art of keeping a secret. We know about him producing the upcoming Arctic Monkeys' record. And we know about his long-rumored supergroup with Dave Grohl and John Paul Jones. But since the story broke back in 2005, Homme has let very little slip.... read more
Found in: Music, NewsArctic Monkeys Prep to Defrost New Album
In the wide and varied world we know as alternative music, animal band names seem to be a hot commodity in recent years. Most of the time, they've been pretty easy to study: the mastodon did exist at one point, wolves could conceivably travel in parades, and foxes (probably) have a decent enough landspeed. One in particular, though, defies easy analysis: the elusive arctic monkey. We may never know how (most) monkeys could survive the extremes of the polar climate, but we do know this: the band bearing that biologically dubious name has just announced a release date and tracklist... read more
Found in: Music, NewsArctic Monkeys meet Queens of the Stone Age?
We’ve known for a while that Arctic Monkeys are at work on a follow-up to Favourite Worst Nightmare, but we now have first real news on the new album—and, well, it’s kinda unexpected. The much-hyped Sheffield boys are headed across the Atlantic to California to record new tracks… with Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme as producer.... read more
