NURIEL are a five-piece band from Jerusalem who play original indie rock in English. Their soaring harmonies and soothing cello, combined with lyrics inspired by the realities of living in Israel, have brought out hundreds of people to sold out shows. After four years, more than 70 shows all over the country (including the Zappa and Yellow Submarine clubs and Jacob’s Ladder Festival), and singles which garnered international attention (4 million plays on AlexRainbird’s leading playlist [from UK]), the band released its first EP, “Valley,” in March, supporting it with a successful tour. The title song from the EP has entered Israel’s eco99 playlist. 

Nadav Yaish from Tel Aviv and his band, performing a year after the release of his first single “The Essence” on which he worked together with producer Adi Rotem (Dikla, Sarit Hadad, Miri Mesika, Keren Peles) and the talented arranger Matan Vardi. The songs in the main album, which was published last October, are songs that Nadav wrote over the past decade, from high school to the end of his military service. His musical influences are Israeli rocknroll and soul musicians such as Dudu Tassa, Eviatar Banai, Berry Sakharof and Ehud Banai.
