 JJ72 - JJ72 - the album - Review - Losing my sense of hearing   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
In 1999, JJ72 released their first E.P 'October Swimmer' but it failed to make the charts or raise their profile so they took to the road and toured constantly for a year attempting to make a breakthrough.
The release of their album 'JJ72' was followed quickly by the re-release of the singles 'October Swimmer' and 'Snow' and all achieved success.
I first heard JJ72 on Radio 1 in 1999, it was a demo of 'Snow' and I remember I was driving to see a client and not really concentrating on the radio but this song immediately made me sit up and notice.

 A review
It felt like JJ72 had been away for a very long time, before returning in late September, with the fantastic comeback single Formulae.
JJ72 have progressed rapidly, since their eponymous debut album was released in 2000, and it now seems, that classics such as October Swimmer, Oxygen and Snow, only hinted at what the band were hoping to achieve artistically, emotionally and spiritually.
After a triumphant set, JJ72 return for the encore with Bumble Bee – Mark’s loud distorted guitar, Hilary’s thunderous bass and Fergal’s military precision drumming – culminate with Mark lying on his back, and throwing his plectrum into the crowd.

 manyhighways.com: "JJ72" by JJ72
Layers of clean, barely distorted guitars are the foundation of the majority of the tracks from the album, as evident in the lead-off track "October Swimmer." But by integrating stringed instruments with the bass-guitar-drums formula, JJ72 have succeeded in creating a fresh sound.
The third track on the album, "Oxygen," is the song which gave JJ72 its break and for good reason.
Calling JJ72 the next U2 is a big stretch but the band was certainly worthy of the "Best New Band" award which was bestowed upon them at last year's Irish Music Awards.

 Coldplay / JJ72 - PopMatters Concert Review
Of course they like JJ72, any Coldplay fan would, and those that didn't know the band before the show, surely went out looking for their debut album JJ72 (Lakota/Columbia) after the show.
JJ72 stormed through other high points off the debut record, such as the enchanting "October Swimmer", another slice of pop perfection, the alternately operatic and grungy "Snow", and the endearing "Undercover Angel".
JJ72 may do well to learn from their musical mentors and spend the requisite time touring the US over and over.

Somehow however, the fresh-faced, cherubic, whinnying collective they call JJ72 seem to have snuck through and settled comfortably in the pop landscape.
Back in 2000, JJ72 seemed to appear from nowhere (in truth they hail from Dublin) amid NME's excited gossipy whispers (the origins of the name is still a mystery) and lots of fl and white photo-shoots.
No doubt a new found maturity and depth of emotion will be cited as an influence (standard second album musings) but sadly it seems popularity and originality are directly inproportional - as JJ72's popularity has increased, their offerings have waned and Formulae is, while a decent enough toe-tapper, no Oxygen.

 JJ72 Live In Bristol
Singer Luke Slott is too busy giggling along with the front row to notice that all his songs are too long, rambling and packed full with what they think to be 'melodies'.
JJ72 in contrast, seem to have gone almost too far in the opposite direction.
The gig ends on rather a subdued high, as the band are called back for an unenthusiastic encore, and having played a massive stop-starting behemoth of a riff, Mark falls to the floor melodramatically, whilst china-doll bassist, Hilary Woods, having pouted and played practically the same note all night, departs.

Yet for the ever-present constituency of angst-ridden youth, JJ72 is undoubtedly some sort of landmark.
Forget Brian Molko's pervier-than-thou pretensions, and ignore the Manic's Nicky Wire, content to a life of sterile domestic bliss--this youthful trio are their audience; generously cheek-boned, comfortably middle-class and shamelessly intense.
