Bell X1 began their existence as Juniper, a successful 1990s act in Ireland which included Damien Rice before he became internationally renowned as a solo artist.
On October 2, 2008, Brian Crosby announced his decision to leave Bell X1 following their October 19 Flock tour finale at the Panorama Festival in the Lebanon.
The band have had significant success in Ireland and the United States; however, they are not recognised as much in the United Kingdom. In the US, they have achieved critical acclaim with Paste calling them "one of Ireland's greatest bands" and New York Daily News reporter Jim Farber praising Paul Noonan's "sharp eye" and "flair for dialogue". They have also had strong album sales and made several appearances on David Letterman. They have performed sold out shows on both coasts and toured the US four times in 2008.
