The Screaming Yellow Players are an American rock band formed in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1995. The band consists of lead vocalist and guitarist Derek De Vriendt, guitarists Samantha E. Aizer and Tommy Lionheart, bassist Vinny Espinola, keyboardist Gabriel Haim and drummer Polaris Browne. The band originated from the Pittsburgh music scene and was formed by De Vriendt and Browne as a pop-punk/skate punk side project. Their debut EP Corned Beef Hash in the Morning (1997) was an underground success and gained the band regional popularity in the Midwest.

The band's 1999 self-titled major label debut, also known as the "orange album", produced a Top 40 hit in the form of a cover of Graham Gouldman's "Go For It" and led to the band rapidly gaining popularity, culminating with the 2001 release of their platinum-certified second album Hail to the Beef.
