A new QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE track, entitled "3's & 7's", is being streamed on the band's web site, www.qotsa.com, for the next 24 hours. Another new QOTSA song, entitled "Era Vulgaris", was reportedly released in a special package sent to fans who won a secret competition on the QOTSA forum. The track, which will not appear on the group's upcoming full-length CD of the same name, features a guest appearance by NINE INCH NAILS frontman Trent Reznor.

QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE have set June 12 as the release date for the band's fifth studio album, "Era Vulgaris". The CD, which was previewed at the South by Southwest music festival in Austin, Texas last month, will feature 11 new songs and guest appearances from STROKES singer Julian Casablancas and former QUEENS vocalist Mark Lanegan.

Michael Shuman of the Los Angeles act WIRES ON FIRE is reportedly the new QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE bassist. The band has been without a permanent bass player since the dismissal of Nick Oliveri in 2004.

"Era Vulgaris" follows up 2005's "Lullabies to Paralyze".

Weird, as soon as I saw the link for it on Pitchfork, it got posted here.

It sounds like this album will be pretty awesome...which would be pretty much in line with all of the other QOTSA releases. >_>

The MySpace song is funky, but 30 seconds does not an album make, although I know QOTSA won't dissapoint, they're one of few bands I've never found I even remotely disliked a song of.
