From: Supergroup land

Who: Them Crooked Vultures: Josh Homme (vocals, guitar), John Paul Jones (bass) and Dave Grohl (drums & vocals)

The Scoop: The love child of Nirvana, Led Zeppelin, Queens of the Stone Age & Foo Fighters. As blunt a label as it is - it's impossible not to call TCV anything other than a supergroup.

This group have been a rumour for about 4 years but this year have made it a reality. It's always hard to know what to expect when such a group with stellar CV's and separately seminal albums come together. 

The answer is a quirky, interesting set of songs. Although 'New Fang' has been released as a single this is really an album worth of work and it takes some work to get into it. There are lots of angles & surprises around every corner making it an album that you don't get comfortable with too easily. But would you expect anything else from these three cats?

There are a lot of highlights but just hearing Dave Grohl back on the skins and delivering a bucketload of bang in his inimitable style is the peak for me.

Their self titled debut album is released on Monday but if you want to hear it now the good guys at The Rock are streaming it in its entirety right here

Shuffle with: Eagles of Death Metal, Wolfmother
