The rising Irish noise-rock band is made up of Kyle Quinn, Luke Fields and Gareth Keegan.
Exciting new rockers on the scene, BELLI, have unveiled their visceral new track 'Coming Home', premiered below by Hot Press.
Progressing from their 2020 EP St. James, the trio's second single of 2021 is markedly more powerful.
The song's premise is based around that lull point in your 20s when you have been working away from the motherland for a few years but you’re unsure what direction you want to go in the future. Everything may be comfortable, but not necessarily fulfilling. To some, it may just be a case of finding a new job, a different city to live in or even the re-addition of a hobby that used to fill those idle moments.
The band feel that the pandemic certainly highlighted to some people that the hustle and bustle of a work life got in the way of things that make you the person you really are.
"For us, music is a key thing to our everyday lives - be it listening, practicing or creating. It’s an outlet that can make your head do a 180 in an instant about how you feel or maybe it’s a familiar voice that articulates a situation or feeling you’re experiencing yourself," BELLI tell Hot Press.
"'Coming Home', we suppose, is a homage to the three of us getting back together and creating music 10 years on from when we used to do it just for fun after school. We got back into just jamming for a bit of craic after a chat one evening . The years in between have been filled of making electronic music, DJ’ing and all of us being in different bands so we said why not just start creating our own music together."

Filled with gritty guitar tones, biting basslines that build effortlessly and crashing drums in the chorus; 'Coming Home' is a love letter to the alternative scene of the early '90s grunge/sludge tones. A sprinkle of shoegaze also comes into the guitar tone for good measure.
"Like many bands at the moment we haven’t got any gig news to share as of yet but hopefully as restrictions start to ease we’ll come out guns blazing," BELLI add. "We just released our first tune of the year, 'Can’t Take It', back in July and we have two more to release this year after 'Coming Home'."
Watch this space, the Dublin natives are ready to crash straight into Ireland's noise rock scene.
‘Coming Home’ is available to stream on September 3rd, premiered below by Hot Press
