It looks like the self-titled debut album by Them Crooked Vultures is arriving sooner than we expected. On Thursday, the hard-rock supergroup of the Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl, Queens of the Stone Age frontman Joshua Homme and former Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones announced that its record would come out on Nov. 17.
Of course that means the band will have to battle it out in the charts with the bunch of reality show contestants, as the date also marks new releases by “American Idol" runner-up Adam Lambert, British “X Factor” winner Leona Lewis and "Britain's Got Talent" loser Susan Boyle. The Vultures should be more than qualified for the job.
The band made its live debut at a post-Lollapalooza show at the Metro in Chicago earlier this year and has since played concerts in New York and Philadelphia, along with an appearance at Austin City Limits.
The first single from the album, “New Fang,” hits the radio next week. While the Vultures have yet to announce any further U.S. dates, they will be hitting the U.K. later this year.
The track list for the album is as follows:
1. "No One Loves Me & Neither Do I"
2. "Mind Eraser, No Chaser"
3. "New Fang"
4. "Dead End Friends"
5. "Elephants"
6. "Scumbag Blues"
7. "Bandoliers"
8. "Reptiles"
9. "Interlude with Ludes"
10. "Warsaw or the first Breath You Take After You Give Up"
11. "Caligulove"
12. "Gunman"
13. "Spinning in Daffodils"
