Queens of the Stone Age have released a new song called “Easy Street.”<\/p>\n

You may recognize the track if you caught Josh Homme and company on their Catacombs tour, during which they first premiered “Easy Street” live in 2025.<\/p>\n

The official studio version has now arrived and features guest vocals from Nikki Lane.<\/p>\n

“It’s kind of a funny song. It’s like hitting your funny bone, where it’s funny because it hurts and it hurts because it’s funny. You’re serious, but it’s funny,” Homme says in a statement. “We made it the way you’d make a demo. No click track, mistakes left in. It speeds up, it slows down, the claps aren’t great, but they’re not bad, and a bad clap adds this human thing you can’t fake.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It’s not just about silliness,” Homme adds. “It’s about understanding the imperfection of your life. The song, like your life, is in the mistakes. Its imperfections are unbeatable.”<\/p>\n

You can watch the “Easy Street” video streaming on YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Easy Street” follows QotSA’s 2023 album,\u00a0In Times New Roman…\u00a0<\/p>\n

Queens of the Stone Age are currently on tour in Europe with System of a Down. They’ll be touring the U.S. with Foo Fighters starting in August.<\/p>\n

Homme, meanwhile, recently released collaborations with Mastodon and Shania Twain.<\/p>\n
