Queens of the Stone Age have launched a complaints hotline.

The No One Knows rockers are inviting fans to call a special phone number in order to share their grievances and "get heard".

A press release reads: "Call the Queens of the Stone Age Complaint Hotline and get heard! You know better, now's your chance! No bitching too big No whiny too tiny. The Inland Empire’s #1 Queens of the Stone Age Complaint Hotline!"

QOTSA have told fans to follow and keep an eye on the band's social platforms to see the status of their complaint, with the suggestion that a band member might even be on the other side of the line.

They continued: "The official Queens of the Stone Age Complaint Hotline is now open. Fans, friends, and foes, can dial in at +1 (760) 437-1966 to air their gripes and grievances, moans and groans, chagrin', carpin' and any judgements they wish to pass.

"Callers can leave a message 24/7. All complaints will be reviewed personally. There is a chance that some callers may even find a live ear at the other end of the line. Sometimes people just need to complain, and Queens of the Stone Age are here to listen."

The news comes after the band released a new single titled, Easy Street single, featuring American country music artist Nikki Lane.

Produced by Josh Homme and Michael Shuman and debuted live last year during the band's Catacombs tour, the song marks the band's first new taste of material since 2023's In Times New Roman.

The track was accompanied by a Tony Wolski and Christopher Gruse-directed video, based on a story and idea from the mind of Homme.

“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 of the song.

“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.”

He continues: “It’s not just about silliness. It’s about understanding the imperfection of your life. The song, like your life, is in the mistakes. Its imperfections are unbeatable.”

It's not the only country connection Homme has made of late, recently featuring on Shania Twain's new track, Faded Blue Jeans, which features album Little Miss Twain—which was released on 24th July 2026.

This summer saw QOTSA support System of a Down in Europe and the UK, which included a duo of epic show's at London's Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last month.

The rockers are now back on home soil, joining Foo Fighters on their Take Cover North American stadium tour .

The Gow With The Flow outfit are also set to return to Iceland for the first time since 2005 with a headline show on 24th October at Reykjavík's Laugardalshöll.

The band have teased fans to "stay tuned" for more tour news, including a headline run in Australia, New Zealand, Japan and Singapore being "announced very, very soon".
