Them Sneaking Up

It’s like a new Queens of the Stone Age album – but different.

In my earlier music post about TC Ink’s Album of the Year this super group’s upcoming album slipped beneath my radar.

Queens of the Stone Age may not have got around to another album – but this is just as good.

QotSA front man Josh Homme, David Grohl and Led Zeppelin’s John Paul Jones have united to produce a great record of music.

Them Crooked Vultures’ self titled album has that awesome QotSA sound, with just an element of difference brought to the band by JPJ.

They may have snuck themselves into a leading position to take out this the Album of the Year.

I’m just devastated that their January show in Sydney is already sold out.

Wolfmother’s new album is also quite good. It’s a bit of a change in sound since the first album and the lack of keyboard led tracks and solos disapointed me, but there are some great songs on the album. Back Round is great fun to play on GH5!
