Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Yeah Yeah Yeahs are an American indie rock band formed in New York City in 2000. The group consists of vocalist/pianist Karen O, guitarist/keyboardist Nick Zinner, and drummer Brian Chase; they do not have a bassist but have been complemented during live shows by David Pajo and Imaad Wasif. They are known for energetic performances and a blend of genres, including art rock and dance-rock.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs found critical and commercial success with their debut album, Fever to Tell (2003), which is cited as their best work. It produced the breakthrough single "Maps", which became the band's signature song. They issued a second album, Show Your Bones (2006), and shifted to dance-punk with their third, It's Blitz! (2009). Both records received positive reviews, and the latter spawned the hit single "Heads Will Roll". The band's fourth album, Mosquito (2013), became their highest-charting record in the United States but did not match the reception of its predecessors. The group went on a hiatus the following year and returned in 2017, performing live for the rest of the 2010s. Their fifth and most recent album, Cool It Down (2022), was released to critical acclaim. It produced the digital hit "Spitting Off the Edge of the World".
In 2002, Rolling Stone described Yeah Yeah Yeahs as "the best thing to happen to punk rock". They have received several accolades, including nominations for five Grammy Awards—four of which were for Best Alternative Music Album—and seven MTV Video Music Awards. Rolling Stone included Fever to Tell on their list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time" and "Maps" on their "500 Greatest Songs of All Time".
