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:
Some stuff we’ve worked on, but we’re gonna write pretty quickly and just put it down… we may be a year or so [away from completing the CD]. It will mainly be excess material from the first album, material we started and never finished because we had to go and play the stuff we already recorded!
The band released their previous, self-titled debut in 2009.
