The production sounds so thin! Those guitars are downright anemic. What are they doing?!

Grammatically speaking, the thread title is correct. As the name of a group, QOTSA would be a singular noun for which "is" would be the proper verb.

I've never been very sure of this and have found that I am inconsistent in whether I refer to bands as "they" or "it"

Oh I was talking about the lowercase "ot" but yes "is" is also correct

Yeah, I don't give a good tin shit about whether or not you want to capitalize the letters.

You wouldn't. You would say "Queens of the Stone Age is a great band."

It. When referring to a collective group, it is singular. If you are referring to members of that group as individuals, then it is plural.

Pearl Jam is playing a concert tonight.
The members of Pearl Jam are playing a concert tonight.
Matt, Stone, Jeff, Mike and Ed are playing a concert tonight.
