Eagles of Death Metal is a Palm Desert, California-born rock outfit founded in 1998 by lifelong friends Jesse Hughes and Josh Homme (of Queens of the Stone Age fame). Despite the name, the band delivers anything but death metal — instead, they serve up an irresistible cocktail of blues-soaked rock 'n' roll, glam swagger, and garage-punk energy that feels like a party you never want to leave.
With Hughes as the charismatic frontman and Homme as a rotating creative force, the band has built a devoted global following through infectiously fun albums like *Peace Love Death Metal*, *Death by Sexy*, and *Zipper Down*. Their music channels the raw spirit of classic rock while keeping things delightfully tongue-in-cheek.
Known for their explosive, high-energy live performances, Eagles of Death Metal have proven time and again to be one of rock's most electrifying acts — resilient, passionate, and utterly committed to the power of a great riff and an even greater time.
