The Eagles of Death Metal has always been too much of a side project for Josh Homme (QOTSA) et al. to be commercially viable as a band of its own right, which is a shame since the group's first two albums, 2004's Peace Love Death Metal and 2006's Death By Sexy, deliver a slinky, sleazy mix of blues-rock come-ons, peppered with country influences, Elvis Presley posturing and a rambunctious cover of Stealer Wheel's "Stuck in the Middle With You" (also known as "that song from the ear scene in Reservoir Dogs").
The latest album, the ever-cheeky Heart On, has been in the works for a while, with the release date currently pegged as October 28. EoDM hasn't lost its sense of humor, judging by song titles like "Prissy Prancin'" and "(I Used to Couldn't Dance) Hot Pants." Also expect some guest appearances from Dave Grohl, QOTSA regulars (Nick Oliveri, Joey Castillo), and maybe even this dude you might have heard of named Jack Black.
Anyway, here's an early leak of "Ask Me Why" from the new album. (Thanks, MySpace hackers!)
