Bell X1 New Album Release

Bell X1, remember them? Maybe not, but the Irish band are to return with their fifth album, the not-quite-appropriately-titled-considering-the-news ‘Bloodless Coup’, on 4th April.

The record will be preceded by new single ‘Velcro’, which thankfully hasn’t been responsible for any overthrowing of dictatorships of late (that we know of), so they’re safe there.

A quote from vocalist Paul Noonan about writing the record reads like this: ‘There are certain moments in the process of making a record when it just clicks, and it’s not from banging your head off a wall or constantly trying to verbalize what sort of journey a song should take. It just happens, and there are few more satisfying things in music.’

New tour dates are expected to be announced soon.
