Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Yeah Yeah Yeahs is the debut EP by the American indie rock band Yeah Yeah Yeahs (pictured). It was recorded as a demo over two days in early 2001 with producer Jerry Teel, and was not intended for release. However, the band felt an urge to share their music and land more shows, and developed the project into their debut EP. Yeah Yeah Yeahs features the band's early garage rock and art punk influences, and lead singer and lyricist Karen O's themes of romance and sex. It was self-released on July 9, 2001, and reissued in 2002 by Wichita in the UK and Touch and Go in the US. On reissue, the EP topped the UK Indie Chart and had sold more than 71,000 copies by the end of the decade. It was praised by critics for its unique sound and Karen O's vocals, and was named as among the best releases of 2002 by The New York Times, NME and The Village Voice. In 2024, Paste placed it among the 100 greatest EPs of all time. (Full article...)
