Palm Desert CA, United States (1998 – present)

Eagles of Death Metal are a rock band formed in Palm Desert, California in 1998. In a 2003 interview Homme described the sound of the band as a combination of “bluegrass slide guitar mixed with stripper drum beats and Canned Heat vocals. They consist of Jesse Hughes (vocals, guitar) and Josh Homme (drums).

Eagles of Death Metal is the embodiment of all fuzzed out, overdriven guitar rock to shake your booty to. Don’t look for deeper meanings or avant-garde synthesizer tricks, because these Eagles are strictly business. On their first album, Jesse “The Devil” Hughes tackles the subjects of dancing, dancing, speed, boogeying (see: Dancing), sex, and killing his ex-wife, all with smooth falsetto vocals, infectious guitar by Tim Vanhamel from Millionaire, and Josh Homme’s solid percussion skills. The grand idea of the Eagles of Death Metal is to make music that people will enjoy, that doesn’t have to be taken too seriously. This is not joke rock, but something to blare at a party with all of your friends, girls and guys alike, with lyrics that don’t beg interpretation or teach lessons. Eagles of Death Metal is what would happen if early Rolling Stones, Little Richard, and Queens of the Stone Age made sweet musical love. Like Queens of the Stone Age, groove and a solid melody is their central force and they’ll stomp a rhythm into your head that isn’t bothersome when it inevitably nests there.
