Them Crooked Vultures begin work on second album

Them Crooked Vultures will soon be recording their second album. The band includes John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin), Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters and Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age. The band spoke to BBC:

The band released their previous, self-titled debut in 2009.
