The Yeah Yeah Yeahs are one of those indie bands that almost everyone into indie music knows, or has at least heard of. Oh my.
The Yeah Yeah Yeahs signature style of indie rock is pretty simplistic. The guitarwork is so simple that I'm pretty sure I could even learn it myself, and I'm an avid non-guitar player (although I can read guitar tabs... I taught my nephew how to)! But don't be frightened off by the lack of intricate face melting solos and riffs that would make Dragonforce blush, because they are, and should always be, great at what they do.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that their most well known songs are possibly Maps and Cheated Hearts. I assume that because most people I've spoken to associate those two songs with the band. Not that I'm complaining; Cheated Hearts is a brilliant song for starters!
Turn Into is a nice little slice of indie rock, with Karen O's signature vocals that are pretty well distinguishable. They really are. I can tell a Yeah Yeah Yeahs song just by her vocals. Oh bliss! It's a seriously cute song.
The guitarwork in Deja Vu is just awesome. I think it's the best song they've written, music wise, so far. Down Boy is probably another that would be associated with them, because Triple J have played it quite a bit in the past, which they rightfully should.
I could fully understand if the Yeah Yeah Yeahs aren't everybody's cup of tea. Some people might like a bit more depth in their indie rock, but for those who aren't fussed one itty bitty bit, then definitely go listen to this band, that is if you haven't already.
