3) NeLL
NeLL, hailing from Chorzów, Poland, is an energetic indie rock band with a strong big beat influence.
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.”

The lyrics to NELL's song "Fantasy" speaks to the idea of perseverance and hope in the face of hardship. The first verse sets the stage: just when you think it's all over, the fantasy remains, like a persistent dream always in the back of your mind. The pain and hardship that one experiences are never truly gone but rather, although it may seem like it disappears for a while, it lingers in the background waiting for the opportunity to return. Despite this, the singer reassures us that it's ok, that we can handle it, and that we'll be okay - we'll still be able to feel and experience things even when everything feels like it's slipping away.
The chorus reinforces the idea of perseverance and strength, even in trying times, reminding us that things will get better eventually, even if we can't see it yet. The second verse continues to explore the themes of hope and resilience in the face of adversity, as it reminds us that sorrow and pain never really go away entirely. Despite this, we can learn to live with these feelings and experiences, use them to our advantage, and continue to move forward even when things feel hopeless. The final lines about rain and wind further reinforce the idea that life is full of ups and downs, but that eventually, things will settle and we'll find our way again.
