It's Saturday, i know, but surprisingly even i had things to do yesterday!Yeah Yeah Yeahs formed around the turn of the decade in New York. Inspired by Ohio avant-garde punk they started playing supports slots to several bands and caught the tail end of the buzz around acts such as the White Stripes. They self-released an EP, played SxSW and signed a deal with Wichita in the UK.
Third single 'Maps' was their real breakthrough, and the album it featured on, scuzzy debut Fever To Tell broke into the British top twenty and to date has sold over a million copies. Follow-up Show Your Bones was released in the spring of 2006, more successful on both sides of the pond, but perhaps lacking the edge of it's predecessor.
A five-track EP, Is Is, was also generally well received, but this year's It's Blitz seemed to split opinion, the band opting for a more synth-based record produced by TV On The Radio's Dave Sitek.
This track is from the debut, and still the best thing they've done, in my opinion.
