The Irish band Bell X1 are being critically lauded for their new album but, predictably, not by the boy Musters. Perhaps you think I'm down on all Irish rock music?
Not so, I quite like Declan O'Rourke. I also have enjoyed some of band member Dave Geraghty's solo work. I just don't get Bell X1 though.
By far the biggest problem is this. Are they supposed to be a comedy act? I fear not but if they were they'd be quite a good one. Perhaps before the mighty Flight of the Concords came along and changed everything they might have gotten away with lyrics like,
You're the chocolate at the end of my CornettoI love the way your underwire braAlways sets off that X-ray machine
Not any more though. Just sounds feckin' laughable.
