Yeah Yeah Yeahs say Yeah to New Record

Trio to Release Third Album This Spring

Since 2003's Fever to Tell made waves and showed us which Maps to follow if we're searching for the center of both our hearts and definitive new wave trash punk, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs - led by specifically Karen O's chutzpah - has been one of the high water marks of post post post rock.

Earlier today, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs publicist and official website both confirmed that the newest record, their third release, will be available this spring.  Thus far titled, "It's Blitz" and accompanied only by a picture of a bloody raccoon and baby chicks in a bowl of popcorn, the quirky poignancy and sheer tenacity of the band seems to be in full force.  Look out for this release, a subsequent tour, and maybe even another playable track on Rock Band in the near future.
