Watch Bell X1 on a 'Sugar High'

Nov 4, 2011, 7:53am State Magazine

The latest single to drop from Bell X1 's Bloodless Coup LP, 'Sugar High' is set for release on November 25th. Talking about the background to 'Sugar High', Paul Noonan comments: "Ireland is in ways a microcosm or concentrated dose of the madness that has us all sloshing around in the shit. The song began as a debauched HR Giger vision of the Fianna Fail tent at the Galway Races, with all the boys out of their minds, riding each other...on a Sugar High." The video was [...]

Nov 3, 2011, 9:09am State Magazine

Bell X1 have lined up a midnight show for Saturday 17th of December in Olympia Theatre with all proceeds going towards the Capuchin Day Centre , a homeless centre based on Bow Street, Dublin 7. Paul from the band used to live in the area and it was here he got to know Rocky, about whom the song Rocky Took a Lover was written. Rocky was one of the many who were fed and looked after by the centre. Since the recession, the numbers attending the centre have doubled, and so they are under [...]

I never said I was right/ I just hoped you thought it anyway

Aug 30, 2011, 7:06pm some beans

Κάποια άλμπουμ κολλημένα στο limbo μεταξύ των καλύτερων κυκλοφοριών και των αδιάφορων μας κοιτούν με βλέμμα προσμονής. Σε κανέναν από αυτούς τους δίσκους δεν αξίζει να πάει «αδιάβαστος» οπότε θα επιχειρήσουμε να πούμε δύο λόγια για τον καθένα. Δίσκοι σε καμία περίπτωση τέλειοι, που όμως διαθέτουν κάτι ο καθένας όπου μπορείς να σταθείς. Το 100 Lovers των Devotchka είναι βασισμένο σε αυτό το κλασσικό με έθνικ επιρροές ροκ τους που τόσο γλαφυρά σχεδιάζουν τα τελευταία δέκα χρόνια και έφτασε στο απόγειο της δόξας του με [...]

Popcult – Popcult EP

Aug 5, 2011, 2:25pm earmilk.com

Many years ago I fell in love with Coldplay , and I'm not ashamed to say it. Earlier this year I discovered Bell X1 . Now I've been drawn into the small field of fans supporting the band Popcult - and this is a group of fans I guarantee you will be growing heavily over the next few years. Like a fusion of Bell X1 and Coldplay, Popcult utilizes sweeping vocals and harmonious guitar, piano and synthesizers to create a soothing sound that rests in one's ears with a gentle ambivalence. Their self titled [...]

WATCH: Bell X1's Video for '4 Minute Mile'

Jul 13, 2011, 4:19pm Rarities, B-Sides and Other Stuff

Hmmm...here's one that kinda slipped by me. At the end of last month, Bell X1 revealed the new video for '4 Minute Mile', the second single from their fifth studio album, Bloodless Coup . The video, which was shot in Berlin, was directed by Jan Von Holleben and features a couple of cool young lads and a whole heap of colourful balls (minds out of the gutters people!). Yep, I'm totally late with this, but '4 Minute Mile''s groovy [...]

Review: Bell X1 – Bloodless Coup

Jul 11, 2011, 8:50am Music Under Fire

Rating: 8.1/10 Sometimes when artists try to change their sound, it goes horribly wrong. It can feel unnatural and forced, like a pre-teen girl experimenting with mascara. On their newish album Bloodless Coup, Bell X1 has made change work. But rather than piling on the Maybelline the trio has added new layers of electro beats and synths that mesh seamlessly with the acoustic guitar and piano that distinguished the Irishmen's earlier tunes. All the things you loved about Bell X1 are still there; the mix of new electro [...]

Amhrán Gach Lá - This Club

Jul 5, 2011, 3:00pm 2 U I Bestow

Remember when Jif became Cif? Or when Marathon became Snickers? Some name changes happen for the better like when BackRub changed to Google! Can you imagine saying I'm going to BackRub that instead of Google it! Anyway an Irish band last year changed their name from the decent name 'Hoarsebox' to the generic 'This Club'! I liked the Hoarsebox name for virtue of the fact all band members sing and there's normally some lovely 4 part harmonies in their songs. [...]

Bell X1: Bloodless Coup

Jun 6, 2011, 2:00am PopMatters

Bell X1 make a half-assed attempt to infuse their tepid style with some Radiohead inspired electro production. It's pretty safe to conclude at this point that remaining members of Juniper (now known as Bell X1) have emerged out of the shadows of "that band that Damien Rice used to be in." Probably because Damien Rice's own solo career has taken a nose dive into obscurity -- his last album was 9 back in 2006. That's not to say that Bell X1 has made a monumental name for themselves. Instead, those that gave...
