QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE Reissuing Second Album With Bonus Tracks

May 10, 2010

The Pulse of Radio reports that QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE will reissue their second album, 2000's "Rated R", this summer, according to NME.com. The re-release, which will probably arrive in July, will include B-sides and live recordings. Frontman Josh Homme said, "Am I surprised QUEENS have survived to the point where we have reissues? Yes! And that all the people (other players) on 'Rated R' are alive too."

"Rated R" was a critical and fan success, although it wasn't until 2002's "Songs For The Deaf" that QUEENS achieved mainstream success and radio airplay.

QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE's last album was 2007's "Era Vulgaris", and the band has not performed since summer 2008.

The group is set to return to play the U.K.'s Reading and Leeds Festivals this August, along with some German dates.

Homme has been playing in THEM CROOKED VULTURES with Dave Grohl and John Paul Jones, but has said work will begin on a new QUEENS record this fall.
