Bell X1 have nothing to do with airplanes but their name derives from one. The band initially went under the name Juniper but they changed it (not for the better if you ask me) to Bell X1 after singer Damien Rice quit the band to embark on a successful solo career. But who needs Damien Rice if you have one of the most beautiful pop ballads in your repertoire? This is Eve, the Apple of My Eye (remember The O.C., anyone?). Only the Irish can come up with such a beauty.
The new album Bloodless Coup can be streamed on Facebook.
Bell X1 will be supported by Irish newcomers Planet Parade.
