The band was founded in 2003 by Sojer and Bartek, on the ashes of their former band Campbell. They played as a duo for several months, the bassist, Klaus joined the band shortly, though. They released self-titled demo in 2005. In November, Borsuk, a new drummer joined the group. He gave NeLL a strong blow of pure energy and enabled them to revise what they've done up to that point. With a new face, NeLL recorded two brand new songs: "Red Ribbons" and "Lady C", both acclaimed by the Polish Radio Trojka and later released on Piotr Stelmach's compilations.
In 2008 they released their first official single: Downwards the City. The single was funded by the fans via megatotal.pl website and therefore NeLL has became the first polish band ever which managed to release a single in such way.
Their debut album White Noise Zone was released in 2010 by Polskie Radio label.
Their influences include Nick Cave, Tom Waits, Nine Inch Nails, Joy Division, The Knife, Kraftwerk and more recently Interpol, Depeche Mode or The Kills. NeLL is rendering personal emotions into the language of sounds. They vent down their frustrations, joy and despair. The world in their music bends inside. The Real shines with its own glitter and ghosts sit at the bar or lie down to your bed. The music they play is as varied as we are. It’s a rock’n’roll watching its mirror refelction. As one of NeLL’s fans wrote: “With this music, you can drink, die and do couple of other cool things.”

Nell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Im just tryna get a grip
Remember that free lunch
Now I'm eating steaks and shit
Aint no mystery how I did it
If you real they gone feel it
Counting up all my blessings
No you couldn't count em with me
That they tried to count me out
Stayed down so many nights
Thought the drought would never end
Stayed down until I was right
Had no choice but to win
Did some grimy things
Lord forgive me for my sins
Bought some rugers for my enemies
Just protect me from my friends
I can't stress this shit enough
Life is like a jungle gym
Pockets on tsunami
They just keep oozing and oozing
If I had a dollar every time they say I aint shit
Would say I would be rich
But shit I'm already rich
I be walking around loaded
Looking like ima lick
Aint no shortcuts in this game
You got to go through this shit
They be calling me bic
They love the way i stay lit
Cause Ummm
Reminiscing on the past
Had no heat or no lights
If you got a situation
Never give up the fight
Im from a place where they hungry
Never bark only bite
In the streets no hesitation
Don't you never think twice
I see they whiskers they mice
They envy like uncle ice
I roll the kush then I light
Outta mind outta sight
Im catching plays like I'm price
I get yo bitch then I pipe
Then tell that bitch take hike
Little bitch take a hike
I just can't sit around broke
It just don't sit with me right
You got to crawl before you walk
I only fly I don't run
Never ever catch me lacking
Always keep me a gun
Asian bitch look like jun
Rest in peace to big pun
If you broke you get shunned
Where that cash I want sum
Don't want no pennies
Need them billies
Want it in a lump sum
My project bitch got the buns
Niggas kill over crumbs
Finders keepers losers weepers
Play for keeps where I'm from
Walked through the valley
Im the shadow of death
Never letting up
Keep my foot on they neck
Ball like the nba
Not breaking a sweat
Oyster perpetual on tsunami
Get respect with begets
First we started off small
Now we big like big pun
I never leave the house
Without packing a gun
I learned when I was young
Gave her dick now she sprung
Popping up at the house
I was just having fun
Make the money motive
Trying to stack me a rover
Bundle up cause it get cold
And it only get colder
Break bread with my team
Always feeding my soldiers
Keep my poker face on
When I'm not playing poker
Make the money motive
Trying to stack me a rover
Bundle up cause it get cold
And it only get colder
Break bread with my team
Always feeding my soldiers
Keep my poker face on
When I'm not playing poker

I am always dominating and controlling my opponents
Ball like the nba

Not breaking a sweat
I am succeeding without much effort
Oyster perpetual on tsunami

Get respect with begets
I earn respect through my wealth and success
First we started off small
I started off with very little
Now we big like big pun
Now I am very successful and wealthy, like Big Pun
I never leave the house
I am always prepared for any situation
Without packing a gun
I am always armed and ready
I learned when I was young
I learned this lesson at a young age
Gave her dick now she sprung
I had sex with a woman and now she is obsessed with me
Popping up at the house
She is showing up uninvited to my home
I was just having fun
I didn't mean to hurt her or lead her on
Trying to stack me a rover
I am trying to save up for a luxury car
Bundle up cause it get cold
I live in a cold climate and need to dress appropriately
And it only get colder
It will continue to get colder as the seasons change
Break bread with my team
I share my wealth and success with those who helped me get there
Always feeding my soldiers
I take care of my closest friends and allies
Keep my poker face on
I never reveal my true intentions or emotions
When I'm not playing poker
This applies in all aspects of my life, not just when playing cards
