Queens of the Stone Age(QOTSA or simply Queens) are a hard rock/ alternative rockband from the Palm Desert, California area in the United States. The band is frequently labelled stoner rock, although they reject the label. QOTSA developed a style of riff-oriented, heavy music which the band's founder and mastermind Josh Hommedescribed as 'robot rock', saying that he "wanted to create a heavy sound based on a solid jam, and just pound it into your head". Since then, their sound has evolved to incorporate a variety of different styles and influences. Formed in 1997, they rose from the ashes of Kyussand began playing together during the now legendary Desert Sessions.
