Bell X1 will mark the release of their fifth and arguably best album to date Bloodless Coup, this Friday April 1, with a semi-acoustic live set along with a signing session of the album itself, starting at 5.30pm at HMV on Grafton Street. Bloodless Coup was given a rare almost-perfect review in the latest Hot Press issue by Olaf Tyransen and is shaping up to be the band's third Irish Number 1 album in a row.

As reported previously here, the band will then embark on a nationwide tour of sorts, playing Vicar Street on April 6 and 7 along with the Trinity Ball the following night. Open-air marquee dates will follow this summer in both Cork and Galway but most exciting is the Hot Press competition to win the privilege to exclusively have the band play in your living room.
