Queens of the Stone Age have officially released a new song, “Easy Street.”

The track may already be familiar to fans who saw Josh Homme and company on their Catacombs tour, where “Easy Street” was first premiered live in 2025.

The newly released studio version includes guest vocals from Nikki Lane.

“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.”

“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.”

The “Easy Street” video is available on YouTube. The video contains uncensored profanity.

“Easy Street” follows QotSA’s 2023 album, In Times New Roman…

Queens of the Stone Age are currently touring Europe with System of a Down. They’ll begin a U.S. tour with Foo Fighters in August.

Homme also recently released collaborations with Mastodon and Shania Twain.
