Yellinek Etched Out Uplifting Musicality in Their New Single “No One Like You”

After the reception Yellinek received from their Recent releases, they join us again to discuss their music, their inspirations, and what we can expect from them in the future! Make sure to check out our interview below:

We are happy to have you today. Tell us about your 2021 so far, what have you guys been up to?

This year, from the very beginning, started with a very busy day. We are working hard on new material for the first album. So finish, record, prepare, think, and over and over. We just released our new single NO ONE LIKE YOU with two songs and we are getting ready for a new and our first long album which will be released in May 2021. It will be 12 amazing songs. We can not wait. But when we release the album, we’ll be working on music videos, maybe a home concert and more… It’s going to be a very hard but rewarding year for us.

How did the band first get started?

The band was founded by Richard Jellinek. As a teenager, he played a few or a few shows, nothing serious. Then he broke his musical adventure in favor of a career and family life. Just life … Finally, a year ago he returned to music, this time seriously and forever. As he always made songs, wrote lyrics, poems, he decided it was time to make his dream come true and to release a really serious album. The time was perfect because a year earlier his two sons had started their adventure with music. So there were already 3 people in the band and we only needed a singer. We met him on one music portal. The funniest thing is that we are from Poland, but Lukky – our singer comes from and lives in Chile. We started in April 2020.

How did you come up with the band name “Yellinek”?

It is very easy. Most of us have the surname JELLINEK ha ha, but if you want to pronounce it well in English you need to convert J to Y. For example, Richard Jellinek should be spelled Yellinek to make the surname sound correct

How would you describe your sound to someone who just listened to your music for the first time?

We play modern melodic rock based on the best sounds of the 80’s. So if you liked these sounds, you will probably like our music. Nice melodic verses and easy to remember choruses, charismatic vocals and strong guitars. Our lyrics are based on important life problems, things that touch hearts. We don’t sing about drugs, alcohol and endless parties etc… So in this case we are not a typical rock’n’roll group ha ha.

How has these past few months of quarantine affected you all creatively?

It may sound strange, but we can say that we were created by quarantine. The team was formed exactly during the first world quarantine. Honestly, had it not been for the time, we would have formed much later, maybe never. The quarantine motivated us to live and pursue our passions. We spent a lot of time thinking about everything and discovering the most important things we want to do in life. It was a time of life reevaluation.

What is one message you would give to your fans?

Be yourself, no matter what they say, fight for a better tomorrow, live, love and if you have any troubles remember that it’s always worth living (this is also the name of our newest song)

What advice do you have for anyone interested in starting their own band?

Play or sing first, but practice, practice a lot, play with music. Then you need the right people with whom you get along well. Then take the right path, follow one plan for the future, have fun but plan and implement it step by step. Now finding the right people is very easy. Social media, many portals bringing together people related to passions. Just take the first step and the next!

Thank you for speaking with us! For our final question, is there anything else you would like to add?

Yes, listen to our new album NO ONE LIKE YOU, wait for the next songs we will deliver soon, and be sure that all we create is a made with passion, and feelings we share with you. Be with us on the way to be the greatest rock band ever ha ha, support us. And the most important stay safe! See you soon! We love all our fans!
