New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) Bell X1's 'Bloodless Coup' debuted to a 5-star review from The Sunday Times and a #3 position on the album charts in Ireland earlier this month. The album is out now in the US on Yep Roc, and the critical reaction Stateside is just as enthusiastic. "This Irish trio has been plotting a bloodless coup to be the best rock band in the world...damned if they haven't done it," raved The
Boston Herald. Chicago's WXRT agreed, praising the album as "full of nuance and grace." The band will launch their North American tour June 1 in Toronto, ON.
