The Eagles Of Death Metal is the new side-side project of Josh Homme from QOTSA. There's two other folks but they're not important cos they're not Josh. Who is God. As we all know. So what if he only plays drums on this? It's like QOTSA doing rudimentary stripped down rock 'n' roll with a nod to The White Stripes & Chuck Berry. 2nd track 'Speaking In Tongues' rocks like a bastard. Minimal, catchy with tons of be-bop-a-loola vocal reverb & hand claps with a wonderful snaking wasp-fuzz guitar riff. The whole album's got that great QOTSA compressed production on it too. Proper rollickin fun all round! On AntAcidAudio

Eagles of Death Metal is a garage rock band fronted by Jesse "The Devil" Hughes. The album was recorded primarily by Jesse Hughes (credited as "J. Devil Huge" or "Mr. Boogie Man") and Josh Homme (credit as "Carlo von Sexron" or "Baby Duck"), and featured guest appearances by Tim Vanhamel (dEUS, Millionaire, Evil Superstars), Brodie Dalle (The Distillers), Nick Oliveri (Queens of the Stone Age, Kyuss, The Dwarves, Mondo Generator), and Alain Johannes & Natasha Shneider (Eleven, Queens of the Stone Age, Desert Sessions).

Josh Homme told MTV News that the band is led by Hughes. "I just sit behind the drums and play rock and roll, which is a great change of pace for me. J. Devil writes everything, every lyric and riff, and he's a fantastic songwriter. He and I go through and arrange them, and I lay down harmonies, but it's really his thing. It's the antithesis of the bloated rock-attitude bullshit I've had to deal with recently". Josh Homme promoted the band when appearing on the Lollapalooza tour in 2003 wearing an Eagles of Death Metal t-shirt.

This album was written and recorded in two days.
