Bell X1

 
DOWNLOAD: Bell X1 – “How Your Heart Is Wired”

Ireland’s Bell X1 just released a new album called Blue Lights On The Runway (Yep Roc) and they’re in the US right now playing a handful of east coast shows to promote the record. On March 14 (just in time for St. Patrick’s Day) the boys from Bell X1 will be at the Highline Ballroom with Brooklyn’s very own Harlem Shakes (who also have their own hotly anticipated record coming out on March 24). If you’d like to win tickets to this show, send an email ASAP to contests@bumpershine.com and tell me which successful Irish solo artist used to be a member of the band Juniper (the precursor to Bell X1). Winners will be picked and notified by the end of the day, today (March 11).

Full Bell X1 album stream and more tour dates (from both bands) after the jump.
