We are a thing that came out of a few chance meetings at Sydney University. You see, Heather and Hayley had been playing music together for a while. Inevitably came the journey south from Byron - being their place of youth - to Sydney for a foray into higher education. Nik and Sam were studying at Sydney University also. And you know, for some reason you just meet people...
We don't have a manifesto as such, but we do have definite intentions in what we do. We wish to play pop, but with a recognizable element of self-awareness. We wish to be emotional, but with a sense of certainty that our audiences won't walk away thinking that we take ourselves too seriously. What is paramount is an attempt to push this thing called the culture industry in some direction which makes it more human. (I guess this is all too ambitious but oh well... We do try)
Heather studies piano at the conservatorium and reads a bit too much Russian literature. Hayley looks toward her personal canon of pop ballads for guidance in all situations and believes we must return to the way life was prior to the poker machine epidemic. Nik is a science student who imbues his drumming with formulas and mathematical complexities. Sam is a country music-playing, Marx-spouting communist with a love of all things meaningfully subversive.
The Jezabels have released 3 EPs: Dark Storm (2010), The Man is Dead (2009) and She's So Hard (2009).
Their debut album Prisoner was released in September 2011. The Jezabels won the 2012 ARIA Award for Best Independent Release for their album, Prisoner.

Nobody Nowhere
The Jezabels Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We got no final line
What fuel for the light?
We'll see when the sun don't shine
Fearless, nothing can cease
Knowing my part
Fearless, nobody nowhere
Nobody now
Nobody now
Holding me down
The Jezabels's song Nobody Nowhere seems to be about the uncertainty and unpredictability of life. The lyrics suggest that life is often full of unknowns and there are no easy answers. Despite this, the singer expresses a sense of fearlessness - a determination to face whatever comes their way without hesitation or doubt. The line "We got no final line" suggests that there are no clear answers or resolutions to the issues at hand, but this doesn't stop the singer from soldiering on. They are confident in their ability to weather any storm, and refuse to let anything hold them back. Ultimately, the song is a rallying cry for anyone who finds themselves facing an uncertain future - it inspires the listener to push forward with courage and determination, no matter what obstacles may arise.

Make up room for the night
Prepare a space for the darkness to rest
We got no final line
We have yet to reach a conclusion
What fuel for the light?
What sustains the illumination?
We'll see when the sun don't shine
We'll find out when the day ends
Fearless, nothing can cease
Unafraid, unstoppable
Knowing my part
Aware of my role
Fearless, nobody nowhere
Unafraid, even in the absence of anyone or anything
Holding me down
Keeping me grounded
Nobody now
No one here now
Nobody now
No one here now
Holding me down
Keeping me grounded

Love her voice on this track, reminds me of Pat Benatar's operatic voice.
