Queens of the Stone Age is an American rock band formed in Palm Desert, California, in 1996.

Queens of the Stone Age was formed after the dissolution of Homme's previous band, Kyuss. The band's music is often described as a blend of hard rock, stoner rock and alternative rock, with elements of punk rock, blues and even electronic music.
