In Ireland, a country churning out hit makers like so much Guinness, Bell X1 are at the forefront of the frenzy. Called “The best band in Ireland” by Vanity Fair magazine, the quintet of rockers has seen four songs simultaneously chart in the Irish Top 20 and the album, Flock, has since gone 5-times platinum. The band is now bringing their sound stateside with the US release of Flock on Yep Roc Records. Bell X1 was formed when original band Juniper split upon the exit of Damien Rice for a soon to be successful solo career. The remaining members continued on, creative juices still bubbling, to release their first album Neither Am I to rave reviews in the UK press. Two albums later came their blockbuster album, Flock, which is today one of the highest selling Irish albums ever. The live DVD Tour de Flock debuted at #4 on the Irish charts, the highest ever Irish debut for a self released title. With hooks galore amid a tapestry of moody, introspective nuances, Bell X1 is now poised to ride the wave of their UK success toward an entirely new group of fans and critics, on this side of the Atlantic.

The US release of Flock is a limited-edition enhanced CD, which launches an audio/visual program when loaded into a computer that includes three live videos, the "Rocky Took A Lover" animated music video, a photo slideshow, a page on The Cake Sale and two special tracks including a Chicken Lips remix of Flame.
