November 14, 200520 yr Any fans here? Check them out at: www.myspace.com/bellx1 Bell X1 arose from the remains of a band called Juniper. The latter formed in Kildare, Ireland, in 1994 as a quintet and evolved into the four-man Bell X1 in 1999. Members are lead vocalist Paul Noonan, keyboardist Brian Crosby, guitarist and vocalist Dave Geraghty, and bassist Dominic Philips. In 1997 Polygram inked a contract with Juniper, and within a year the band drew some attention with the singles "The World Is Dead" and "Weathermen." The band was scheduled to work on a full-length follow-up early in 1999 under the guidance of producer Mike Hedges, who had worked with Manic Street Preachers. Seagram International's acquisition of Polygram and the subsequent creation of The Universal Music Group, however, created upheaval and havoc for the group. When Juniper lead vocalist Damien Rice, aka Dodi Ma, left the group because of recording delays, it reformed in 1999 as Bell X1 and put out Neither Am I, its first album. Singles from the debut include "Man on Mir" and "Pinball Machine." Recorded in Wales with follow-up mixing performed in London, the debut features Nick Seymour, ex-Crowded House bassist, as producer and as a contributing musician.
November 14, 200520 yr MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! I absolutely love them!!! I just got flock and I love it so much, although I still think music in mouth is their best album :) I really like flame, it's totally not their sound but it works :lol:

November 15, 200520 yr I have to say i was really disapointed with music in mouth. I bought it after they amazed me supporting Keane..... but the album hasnt had much effect on me

November 15, 200520 yr I might check them out at the birimingham academy, its a few days before i go back home.
December 28, 200520 yr Music in Mouth is teh sex, my fav is Snakes and Snakes, but Eve has a beautiful air about it. :D
December 29, 200520 yr I have heard bits of their stuff and I like what I hear. They did a fantastic version of U2's Heartland also which is :cool:
January 23, 200620 yr Flame is one of the best tunes I've heard in ages. Tipped off to it by Fanning's Fab fifty. I'll be shot for this but I'm not to keen on Eve... Sounds like Radiohead singing You'll Learb by Longface Morrissette. The rest of that album is superb though. Flock not out until March though which is an arse. Somehow the brother got a copy in Ireland and he swears by it. He's off to see them at the RDS, having not bothered to go early to their Groove Armada support slot. Hoping to see them in Glasgow. What was the first album called?
January 24, 200620 yr Have looked it up... Turns out that Flock is officially released back on the ould sod too, so I've bought them both. They have great reviews. Has anyone got the promo remixes of Flame? Not buying them, don't have a record player... Who is Tubridy?!! He looks mad!
February 18, 200620 yr Ryan Tubridy? He's a presenter on Irish tv/radio. He's a bit of a plank. :rolleyes: Any other Bell X1 fans? :D
