There are at least two bands of this name: 1) The St. Paul-based husband-and-wife team of Phil and Heather Redmon, who have been recording and releasing music under this name at songfight.org since 2004 2) A Portland-based four piece band formed in 2006: "Channeling the energy and youthfulness of a younger Iggy Pop, and playing with the conviction (and carelessness) of the early CBGB's scene, The Hell Yeahs sound every bit New York - and they're from Portland, Oregon! Gritty, sleazy, and wild, this is what rock 'n' roll should be - unbridled, punchy, and tough. And even after they've hit the nail on the head of rock 'n' roll, they hit you again with their melodic outreach and ability to write a hook underneath screaming guitars and pounding rhythms. Yes, this is what rock 'n' roll should be. If all rock bands had this must passion and conviction, nobody would ever claim rock to be dead." In addition, The Hell Yeahs is a mistag for the group ft. Vinnie Paul just called "Hellyeah."
