Dave Grohl, Josh Homme, and John Paul Jones made heavy, experimental rock together for a brief moment.
For the full blast of their sound, start with 'Bandoliers' or 'Dead End Friends'. That album still feels like a lucky accident.
Them Crooked Vultures brought together three distinct rock voices in a way that rarely happens. Their self-titled 2009 album is the only document, with songs like 'Bandoliers' and 'New Fang' capturing that specific collision of sounds. It's a snapshot of what happens when musicians from Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age, and Led Zeppelin find a window to play.
The project formed in 2009 from conversations between Grohl and Homme a few years earlier. They recorded their debut album that same year, working around their other band commitments, and it's remained their sole release.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
