Equal parts Texas grit and New York grime, Yella Belly is a feeling set to a rebellious holler, a firecracker spark in a world on fire, a bunch of soft boys making mean music for a weird world. After wandering the New York City music scene, they found themselves writing together in 2019 by way of their previous bands Elliot & The Ghost, Oh Malô and Queue. The group brings together their rock roots and lust for infectious riffs both live and in the recordings. Within weeks of forming, the band was invited as direct support for Johnny Marr of The Smiths on the Call The Comet 2019 U.S. Tour. The tour would serve as the band’s very first live performances.

Yella Belly has since toured and shared stages with Black Joe Lewis, Eighty Ninety, Love Fame Tragedy (The Wombats), amongst many others.

Yella Belly is singer/guitarist William Thompson, bassist Connor Jones, drummer Steve Vannelli, guitarist Jack McLoughlin and keyboardist Patrick Carr. Yella Belly’s up-to-date releases, in the form of double-sided singles include ‘Bad Dog / Last Days’ ‘The Long Haul / Mean ol Mama’ and most recently ‘Baby Please / Lo Down’ released in July 2020 on the Yella Belly LGC imprint.

Yella Belly released the lead single 'The Two-Timin' Terlingua Tussle' off the anticipated debut album on September 16, 2022. The second single 'Sick For You' was released 1/13/23. The final single 'Gimme Darkness' is out now everywhere where there is music!!
