Eagles of Death Metal started as a side project for childhood friends Jesse Hughes and Josh Homme, who formed the band in Palm Desert in 1998. On the debut album Peace, Love, Death Metal Hughes played most of the parts himself, while Homme produced the album and drummed under the alias Carlo Von Sexron. Despite the band name it is not metal: it is stripped-down garage rock with a hefty dose of Rolling Stones boogie. On its release in 2004, Pitchfork gave the album a 7.2.

This edition is an LP on white vinyl.
