Yeah Yeah Yeahs Leave Heads Rolling On The RoadMay 19, 2009 01:01 PM ET Gary Graff, Detroit Yeah Yeah Yeahs are still actively working "Zero," the first single from their new album, "It's Blitz," and the group's Nick Zinner says the band will stay on that surprising, synthesizer-driven path when it rolls out the next single, "Heads Will Roll." "That was actually one of the last songs we wrote for the record," Zinner, who co-wrote the song with YYYs frontwoman Karen O. in New York, during the same session that produced the track "Hysteric." "I think we always wanted to have a guilty-pleasure dance song; that was it, really. It came quickly, and it was just fun to write. When we were over playing in Europe, it's definitely the song people are reacting the strongest to, like freaking out when we play it. And it's really fun to play live, too." A release date for "Heads Will Roll" hasn't been set yet, since "Zero," which was also featured on the "Gossip Girl" season finale and reached No. 18 on the Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart, is still active.

Not sure I'd rate "Heads" quite that highly, but it takes the bronze easily.

Heads Will Roll is another solid song from It's Blitz. It is probably my second favorite on the album after Zero.

I love how it basically just instantly outpeaked "Y Control." This song's even better, so it's really no surprise how good it's done what it has. :)
