QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE Drop Third Single “Where The Goth Girls At?” From Upcoming Album “Perfecth”
Queens Of The Stone Age has released the official video for “Where The Goth Girls At?,” the third single from its ninth album, Perfecth. The clip was directed by Christopher Gruse and Tony Wolski, and it stars comedian Steve Agee, dancer/artist Scarlett Kapella and singer/actress Lou Lou Safran, with members of Queens Of The Stone Age also appearing.
Perfecth arrives Oct. 30 through Matador Records. “Easy Street” and “Insignificant Other” preceded the new single.
The song finds frontman Josh Homme looking back on his teenage years in suburban Palm Desert, Calif. He explained where the idea came from: “Watching the goth girls working the counter at JCPenney and giving goth makeovers to the old ladies, that’s when I knew the only place I want to be is where the goth girls at,” Homme said.
“Teenage love, ain’t it grand?”
Homme and bandmember Michael Shuman produced Perfecth. It will be sold on CD, standard black vinyl worldwide and clear vinyl through independent retailers. A limited deluxe edition comes as a gatefold LP with handwritten lyrics, stationery, “stamps” tucked into a custom envelope and a bespoke piece of art temporarily housed in a custom pocket. That version is available only through the QOTSA and Matador webstores.
The band frames the album around kintsugi, the Japanese practice of mending broken pottery with gold so the repaired piece ends up more beautiful than before. Homme, Troy Van Leeuwen, Shuman, Dean Fertita and Jon Theodore each took a big step forward as a unit, and the nine songs chart different kinds of love: family, friends, and people both significant and insignificant. Some of those loves wreck you, and some rebuild you.
Sessions took place in locations ranging from New Orleans to Los Angeles, and the resulting music runs from moody and menacing to gentle and strange. Queens Of The Stone Age has taken a career’s worth of jagged pieces and lined them up.
“Every song sounds like it’s from a different world,” Homme said. “And that’s on purpose, because it’s trying to stitch together all these emotions revolving around love, lust, foolishness, and the sort of wisdom that comes as a gift from all that.”
The title comes from Homme‘s belief that “perfect” has never been an honest word. He broke it and rebuilt it as “perfecth,” which he considers a fitter spelling for something that never existed.
“Nothing in this world is perfect, but everything seems to be ‘perfecth,’” he explained. “And that title is funny when you’re in a group, but it ain’t so funny when you’re alone.”
The record follows “Easy Street,” which features Nikki Lane and was first played live last year on the band’s “Catacombs” tour. It marked the first new Queens Of The Stone Age music since 2023’s In Times New Roman…. Homme has also been busy on the side, teaming with Shania Twain on her single “Faded Blue Jeans” and adding guest vocals to Mastodon‘s “Snakes For Dinner.”
Per the band, “Insignificant Other” is the album’s centerpiece, a sprawling, loose and supernatural piece. “Mono” is meant to capture the dizzy rush of heartbreak, with a mix that slides from mono to stereo and from claustrophobia to widescreen orchestral scale.

Wargasm release explosive new single “Swallow” along with new music video
The explosive electronic-metalcore duo Wargasm have released their latest single. From the creators of spit comes “Swallow” – a song posed to make you drink, fuck, fight, and love all in the space of 3 minutes and 2 seconds. Born in a dive bar destined for mainstream radio. Soon to be wargasms most played song, Obviously.
Earlier this year, Wargasm released “Get Down” their first single with Hopeless Records, which has quickly become a fan favorite, gaining nearly 500,000 streams in just the last 3 months. Wargasm are no strangers to genre blending and being unbound by the conventional genres and both “Swallow” and “Get Down” embody so many genres that they are easy to love by many.Wargasm ON “Swallow”:
“From the immortal teaches of Peaches: ‘fuck the pain away’. This is our soundtrack to mistakes and love in this hell of a century. You can feel good when you’re being bad. Human touch just to feel something. This is Spit.’s hot cousin. This is Swallow.”Wargasm are the riot you wish you started. A hyper-charged collision of metal, industrial, rave, punk and glitch-pop chaos, the duo – Milkie Way and Sam Matlock – have weaponised their genre-less war cry into one of the most volatile and vital voices in modern alternative music.
After detonating the underground with early cult favourites like “Spit.”, “Salma Hayek”, “Rage All Over” and “Scratchcard Feeling”, they lit the fuse on 2022’s explosive “EXPLICIT: THE MIXXXTAPE”. The project drew co-signs from the likes of Jonathan Davis (Korn) and Fred Durst (Limp Bizkit) – the latter even dragging them across arenas on a U.S. tour. Their hybrid sound and anarchic live shows quickly made them the kind of band just as comfortable supporting YUNGBLUD as they were sharing stages with Slipknot or BABYMETAL.
In 2023, Wargasm unleashed their official debut album “VENOM” – a savage, seductive and unpredictable middle finger to genre convention, fuelled by a generation’s righteous rage and digital dysfunction. Singles like “Bang Ya Head” (feat. Fred Durst), “Do It So Good”, and “Modern Love” blurred the lines between club floors and mosh pits with unapologetic abandon.
Now in 2026, following a relentless global touring schedule, headline festival slots, and millions of streams clocked, Wargasm are no longer just the future – they’re the now.With new music on the way and a bloodthirsty global fanbase at their backs, Milkie Way and Sam Matlock continue to destroy and rebuild rock music on their own scorched-earth terms.The post Wargasm release explosive new single “Swallow” along with new music video first appeared on FemMetal – Goddesses of Metal.
