The Profile

Them Crooked Vultures is a rock supergroup formed in 2009 by Josh Homme, John Paul Jones, and Dave Grohl. They released a self-titled debut album in 2009, toured through 2010, and briefly reunited in 2022 for Taylor Hawkins tribute concerts. Their single New Fang won the 2011 Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance.

Lineup: Josh Homme (vocals, guitar), John Paul Jones (bass, keys), Dave Grohl (drums). Formed in Los Angeles in 2009; sound blends hard/alternative/stoner rock. One studio album: Them Crooked Vultures (2009); notable singles include New Fang and Mind Eraser, No Chaser; reunion performances in 2022.

Three reviews dissect the 2009 self-titled debut: a high-energy, old-school rock punch with noir and psychedelic shades. Standouts include New Fang, Mind Eraser, No Chaser, Scumbag Blues, and the expansive Warsaw/Caligulove stretch. Reviewers praise the musicianship and groove while noting limited innovation and some bloat. Overall verdict: strong, seasoned, and worth the volume.
