Post anything about one of the few kewl rock acts in Korea. Sadly, I can't find any English info about them...the official site (http://www.bandnell.com/) is also in Korean. All I have here is a list of the albums they've released so far. I've listened to the albums Walk Through Me and Let It Rain and I must say that I was blown away. I couldn't believe that there's a Korean band that has this sound. I mean, most Korean artists are either within the pop, RnB or rap genre, so I was pretty surprised Nell's music, which seems to echo the sensibilities of UK brit rock bands like Coldplay with the instrumentations of US acts like Switchfoot.

I hope you can add more info and news about them in this thread
Nell vol.4 - Walk Through Me
Release Date: 11/19/2004

Nell vol.3 - Let It Rain
Release Date: 6/12/2003

Nell Vol. 2 - SPEECHLESS
Release Date: 9/29/2001

Nell is more underground.

KTH <3

yep. what he said. ^^

Welcome

I think if you hang around here a little bit you may find that Nell aren't "one of the few" after all. They might not even be that "notable"!

Anyway, here's an article on Nell: looks like they're planning to enter the Japanese market:

Article Link

"Japanese major record companies who watched Nell’s performance said that very unique and special emotions that they had never seen before are dissolved in Nell’s music..."

Actually, if you like Nell, I recommend this band called Mot (못): Link...
Kinda similar, but IMO better.

Mot makes great songs but I like Nell's vocals better

NOOOOOO!!!!!!!

I LOVE MOT!!!!!!!!! They are much better then Nell...Sorry Heffy lol

Thanks! Will definitely give 'em a listen

Mot is really good, but it's really soft-ballad type of rock. It's depressing to listen to their songs is what I'm saying... and I think Mot has only one album out.

Now Nell... I have only listened to their song "thank you", and I must say it was quite good. I am considering getting their albums. Yeah to tell you the truth I prefer the singer of Nell's voice over the singer of Mot's voice.

As for entering the Japanese market... I don't know is that the thing to do in Korea nowadays? Oh well I hope that they become successful.

I remember back when the 4th album was coming out... they had a video up on their website in Japan and they came across a Japanese fan... I bet she'd be happy that they're entering the Japanese market. I am too

Well I don't even know who Mot is. Surprise, surprise, right? XP

I love Nell though >_>

lol I guess Mot is too underground.

Ya, one album but they've been on....2 OSTs I believe

I think is great. Nell is okay if I listen to them a song at a time. Listening to their albums are boring, it doesnt flow well and the music doesnt change much. I feel Mot's album is better then any of Nell's.

You pain in the butt...I know ive posted Mot on Pop Culture Forums before. Ill send you one of their songs

i juuuuust started listening to nell and i really like them... i like the songs and the funky voice...

Mot's album was definitly my favorite from last year - I played it nonstop all that summer!

biteme_lestat, you might also wanna check out Peterpan Complex. They're more similiar to Nell than Mot, though not as good as the later

thanks to anrui for the mot song... and i listened to it like .... 5 times now.... and i liikke ittttt!!!
but i like nell more.... (i have heard only one song of mot tho) but i like.. the singer in nell's voice more just because its sooo unique and... squeeky.. haha

Thanks! I've been hearing a lot about Peterpan Complex from my friends too, I'm looking forward to hearing their stuff

^ If someone wants Peterpan Complex songs, they can PM me about that too~

Has anyone seen their Music Video for "Thank You"? Oh wow I was impressed by it. Impressed. it was just amazing.

Is that the one with....They are just performing then it goes to a dude with a phone? I remember when that came out, I told my friend. She asked if it was good and all I could think to say was "Well...there is a phone in it"

lol... there was a phone... therefore it must be good. Any music video with a phone is awesome.

Weell I saw it while I was browsing ssamnet.com

um... yeah i wanted the mot cd... so im on yes asia right now.... and i want to get the nell and mot cds... BUT in order to get free shipping... i want to buy like.... 2 or 3 more cds... and so im looking for some worthwhile stuff...... ANYONE WANNA HELP??? im interesting in this type of music just cuz.. its so... GOOD ahaha.. but PLEASE HELP

I was gonna tell you to get some Peterpan Complex albums, but it seems those are all oop or just out of stock right now... Perhaps you could check out the clearance sale and just buy some interesting looking cheap stuff on random :-P

Uhhhhhhhhh get........The Breeze, I know yesasia sells their albums. And pick up JJ Lin's album....Its not Korean or rock, but Its good!

Nell friggen rules:-p
i like unnsaid thank you and selfish love, his voice is seriously emotional sounding thats why he friggen rules

dangit! MV's aren't working for me at ssamnet

eh did you register? O_o

oh god I didn't see that at the left

I got some songs from "Monni" (몽니) a couple of days ago and I just listened to them - sounds like a rockier version of Nell, so they could be worth to check out ^^

they sound insanely similar to radiohead...

but i still like them a lot!

^I don't really know why people think that o_O

^ Cause they do

Psh

Nell is way more pop. And Radiohead is way more creative. I think, anyway.

0_0 I cant believe that came from you...........All that teasing about you likeing ShinHwa must have made you a more honest person!

i absolutely LOVE NELL!!! :DDDD

-S0LLY ^3^

their older albums sound similiar to radiohead but their current album doesn't to me.

now Peterpan Complex is just all Radiohead

They're not all radiohead...I mean the singer doesn't have the Thom Yorke eye poppin' out of his skull thing going on, and radiohead doesn't have a pissed off looking female drummer.

I dont think Peterpan Complex is anything like Radio Head 0_o'''''''''''

I don't even know which song Peterpan Complex is lol I don't know most of the names to their songs since most of them are in Korean. Which album is it from?

Anrui, what do you mean by "I cant believe that came from you"? =/ AND I DON'T LIKE SHINHWA

Peterpan Complex is a different band that alot of people claim sounds exactly like Radiohead.

do anyone have all nell lyrics
and 'thank you' and 'one time bestseller' vclip...?
can u upload it for me..
pleassse

Oooh I had a brain lapse lol

I was thinking of the Nell song, Peter Pan is Dead or whatever

Stupid Peter Pan

I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO ASHAMED OF YOU DUDE.........Geez............I..........GEEZ

You want me to give you a song of theirs?

lol It's not like I don't know who they are. I SAID I HAD A BRAIN LAPSE.

I heard one of their songs last spring, and I remember I didn't like it very much. I didn't like Jaurim or Moon Hee Jun right away either though...

Send me one you think i'd like most

wow this became a peterpan complex thread all of a sudden. O_O (sorry had to point that out couldn't resist).


uhh lol. what are you talking about shinhwa is so metal.

You hate everything....But Ill try



Oh no, I know they are. I was just teasing Heffy cause she doesnt believe me

I DON'T HATE EVERYTHING.

I just.. hate most pop music, and most those songs you sent me that time were pop! And some people are more picky with their music than others.. mmkay?

But anyway, yeah we're probably pissing off the Nell fans lol. Don't mind us.. >_>

T_T I was trying to get you to try new things..........AND IT WASNT ALL POP

And I upload a different korean rock band's song EVERY week but you still only like the same old ones TT_TT
