Yeah Yeah Yeahs (often abbreviated as YYYs) are an American indie rock band formed in New York City in 2000 by Karen O (vocals), Nick Zinner (guitars, keyboards), and Brian Chase (drums, percussion). They rose to fame during the rock movements and the New York music scene of the 2000s, noted for their evolving musical style and energetic performances.
After earning positive reviews for their 2001 debut EP, Yeah Yeah Yeahs achieved commercial success with their acclaimed debut album, Fever to Tell (2003), placing them at the forefront of the 2000s rock revival. The album produced the single "Maps", which became the band's signature song. Their next two albums, Show Your Bones (2006) and It's Blitz! (2009), drew further acclaim and produced the singles "Gold Lion", "Zero", and "Heads Will Roll". Their fourth album, Mosquito (2013), earned lukewarm reviews but reached number five on the US Billboard 200. After a hiatus, their fifth album, Cool It Down (2022), marked a critical resurgence and produced the single "Spitting Off the Edge of the World".
