she's a better bassist.. but she's no Hillary :(

[Spiral]

she's a better bassist.. but she's no Hillary :(

Right. I think the first album was great but I am not sure about the new stuff..

Well, I am glad they had at least ONE great album! :)

I to Sky was überly produced really.. they lost that raw sound that the 1st album had! I'm quite looking forward to the new one.. John Leckie may be able to give them the sound they need... having said that, he isnt the worlds most exciting producer..

[mike-erased]

yeah i loved the debut album, i to sky wasn't bad. pity the bassist left she was hot!! haven't heard them play any new stuff but can't wait for their next album!!

[slave2thewage]

I love both albums. Can't wait for the new album, hopefully Hilary's leaving won't affect the quality of the music but the new bassist sounds pretty good so yay!

[SlackerBitch]

I love JJ72!! i to sky is one of my favourite albums! I saw them play some new stuff in september can't wait for it to be released :D

[what a beautiful ass!]

yeah the debut album is really great.!!
he's got a nice voice :p
i to sky isn't that good as the debut!
i hope the new album will be as good as the first! :D or better :p !!

[LittleMUSEalieN]

cool :D tnx 4 all the messages guys im a bit new on the band.. so u think the debut's better than i 2 sky? i was looking for it 4 a while in our record shops but i saw i 2 sky and bought that.. it is well kinky :D not the best stuff or anything but it sticks to ya.. love screaming formulea under the shower hehe :D i think its great.. does anyone else think that album sounds a bit like placebo/coldplay? not cause of the comparison but i was wondering if anyone else thought the same thing :p meh i want the old tongue slimies back these are gay...
also.. are there any tracks of them out with the new bassist in them? isnt her name Sophie? yep.. well hope all's well with hillary :)

[special_k]

oooh i adooooooooooore JJ72 sooooo much!!! they're probly my second fav band :) his voice is just so...so... perfect!! and they've got such beautiful lyrics!! i prefer i to sky though.. nameless, brother sleep, serpent sky, sinking, city, olche mhaith, half three...

[LittleMUSEalieN]

o cool special k :D so ur more an i to sky fan? hmm i havent heard all the songs off the first album.. i havent got it yet.. but i love a lot of them as much as i do off the i to sky album. yeh they are a great band :D not my seconf fave tho.. tho they had been in a very short period.. have u ever seen um live? i havent :( o w8 ur dutch as well arent you? toch? :D

[ok_computer]

i saw them playing on pinkpop a few years ago, mark with a broken arm but he still plays guitar!! :)

[LittleMUSEalieN]

wow :D thats so cool!!! playing with a broken arm!!! Mark rules!!! haha :D was that the same year Muse were there by any chance?? if so that must have been SOOOO great.. wish i was there :)

[ok_computer]

2001, muse plays on 2000 & 2002, in that year i saw muse playing at Lowlands and the HMH.. but it very nice!! :D

[LittleMUSEalieN]

haha wow yeh that must have been so cool!!! :D hoe was jj72 live?? Mark does turn into a bit of a Kurt Cobain live haha :D lol.. how was Muse at Lowlands??? :D

[ok_computer]

JJ72 plays very nice but sometimes a little bit boring, Muse at LL was great, one of the best muse gigs i've seen and much better then the Pinkpop gig..

[librariesgaveuspower]

one of my very favorites.

beautiful music.

and i to sky is very underrated, its fantastic.


and i probably should ask this on the jj72 forum..however everytime i register they never send me a confirmation notice...so does anyone on here have a their song "dog" on file..and could maybe send it to me on msn or something?


i'm have been in te process of ordering the always and forever single that has that song and the video for always and forever on it....but amazon hates me and jj72...cos i ordered it in december and they've pushed the mailing date back like 4 times...so now i am not supposed to get it till may 21...if they don't push it back again. :'(

[Appelstroop]

their first album was their best,to think they lived not to far away from me

[miss villkhu[TSP]]

i prefered the first album...when's the next album out???

[gordon]

Hey, i just heard JJ72 on MTV2 and i thought i'd see if there was a thread about them. I've only heard Oxygen so far, which i really liked. The video is really good too. What would be some good tracks to download? Thanks

and over the next album theres this:


JJ72 - What's Happening?

Lots of fans have been asking what is happening with the band and what the plans are for this year. Lots of material has been recorded and there are still a few more tracks to finish up and record.

In the past few weeks in early April the band have been recording more new material with the debut albums producer, Ian Caple.

The band have also been working with the producer, Ken Thomas whose previous production jobs have included Sigur Rós and Dave Gahan and also John Leckie of Stone Roses, Starsailor, Muse and Radiohead fame.

There is no definite release dates set yet as the band want to be completely happy with everything recorded before releasing anything. But expect some great music coming out soon and a tour so you can see all the material played live.



glad to see u liked oxygen gordon :D hmm i'd download these: formulae, astoria, october swimmer, snow, serpent sky, 7th wave, city, half three, its whatever u like really :) some i prefer more than others and other people prefer the ones i like more :) but these are good anyway ;)

[librariesgaveuspower]

Hey, i just heard JJ72 on MTV2 and i thought i'd see if there was a thread about them. I've only heard Oxygen so far, which i really liked. The video is really good too. What would be some good tracks to download? Thanks


that is their best video, i think and then formulae..their videos are pretty awful...especially october swimmer..

shame its a fantastic song....so download that one and:

serpent sky
algeria
half three
glimmer
improv
bumble bee
blood tests

and you will fall in love and then you shall buy their albums. :)

[librariesgaveuspower]

aww thats crap :( no sorry i dont have it!!! but if i do ill let you know ;)


hehe. thanks...actually someone on the jj72 forum gave it to me recently...i got my confirmation e-mail and soon after i asked :)


yeah....they need to hurry with the album. i'm very impatient!

have you heard any of the new songs yet? i've got some live festival versions....they sound lovely!

i'm excited! :D

and brother sleep and olche mhaith!! (sorry i can't write the last one, it's something like that)
but my personal favourite is improv :)

i've never seen a video by them :confused: :(

[DD(",)]

Whatever happened to them? :confused:

[Ironlunged]

They reformed in 1999 and billed themselves as Muse.

[Jette]

they finally realised they were boring. i used to like.. but i found out earlier than them

[Elouan]

they still excist. thought they were recording some new material now :)

[ok_computer]

without hillary..

[Gemsy]

I did wonder where they got to.
Mark Greaney sang like a sheep. <3

[tjej]

Have they died?

[Kazuya vs Ummagumma]

Yes.

The lead singer spontaneosly combusted onstage while singing Formulae and the other band members commited suicide soon after.

Tragic.

[tjej]

Yes.

The lead singer spontaneosly combusted onstage while singing Formulae and the other band members commited suicide soon after.

Tragic.
That's a shame. I quite wanted to sleep with him.

[Kazuya vs Ummagumma]

I wanted to sleep with the bassist again, too.

[ok_computer]

i thougtht there's a new one, sarah at hillary's place..

[Madbob]

I really like JJJ2, new album is out later this year and they have just finished a warm up tour of the UK playing all over the place. the new songs sound excellent! - New single out on monday as download only and limited (to 500) edition 7" vinyl (http://www.rawkstar.net/news/71).

You can hear heat on their official site http://www.jj72.com.

I just wrote a review (http://www.rawkstar.net/live/28) of their glasgow gig, it was great :D

I to sky was good, shame it completely flopped...

[Hobo]

You can hear heat on their official site http://www.jj72.com.

Wow, I really like the sound of Heat! :D
I liked their debut album and I To Sky, so I'm looking forward to their new album! (I never thought they'd get round to making one, actually...)

And I'm gonna see them at Download in 5 days! w00t! :happy:

My brother is going there (grr!) i'd advise avoiding him... he's a pain when drunk, and no doubt he'll be drunk all weekend. he's a scot, so avoid all scots. :)

[Rall]

I saw Fergal vomit once you know. But that's just what Jaegermeister does to people.

I love JJ72, I listened to the first album non stop for about.. a year.. inbetween listing to showbiz i think... i really should lay off the gin.

[Sapphire]

I love their first album, I'm listening to it at the moment and some songs are sooooooo good.

[Rall]

I need to listen to desertion again.

Better than onions that song.

[Britrock]

Ooooh, they're touring in September, I can finally see them. Something I've been meaning to do since the beginning of time seemingly. Debut album is awesome. :D

[Kazuya vs Ummagumma]

What are they doing now?

I always have to listen to Formulae twice in a row. And I always feel the need to sing-along. And I always look like a twat.

[DistortionRox]

singles out at the end of this month, new albums out in september/october although i already have much of it, sounds prety good. It hasn't got the epic qualities that I to Sky had yet is more accessible and a damn sie better than the first album. Tis somewhat darker n heavier than what they've done before. I think I'll go see them in sheffield or something.

Did you get JJ72 first album yet? If not get it & listen to Snow & Algeria - totally brill!
Also I think you should get "Infliction" by another Irish band called Scheer, released on 4AD around '95

Probably see you there. Although I'll probably be on my own. :(

[Jonjo]

Hey, who else knows this band?
They've been getting bigger in recent years, and I've just been listening to some new tracks, which are damn excellent.
I think if you have the good taste to be on a muse forum you should try them out, it's really annoying that a) loads of people haven't heard of them, and b) people always think I'm making them up cause' my nick name is JJ. Damn them.

omg the 29th is turning out to be the best day ever..my boy gets back from south america i will be off work for a weekl and will just have got paid thus b able to buy goldfrapp and now this...yip..sorry had to post..anyway..
the b side of gerkhin was my fav so far wonder if i'll still like 'em?

[blindness]

Bought Coming Home today, its ok, too much mushy chords rather than melodies to be honest, Mark sounds too conscientious about singing, I prefered his daft but confident vocals on earlier songs, when you heard them you knew it was jj72, marked them out in a way, now its like they're trying too blend into the background, b-side Tokyo is good but neither songs are a patch on their earlier singles.

[MONKEH]

i'm gonna see them tommorow in sheffield!!!!!! HUZZAH!!!!! if my tickets turn up...they posted them today!!!!!!! jeezus.
i to sky is one of my favourite albums...i'm not as fond of the debut.

and i just want to say, feargal, we love you. i'm sick of hearing about mark, hilary and the new bird, we love you FEARGAL!!!!!!!
(i'll be the one at sheffield declaring my love to feargal)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JJ72

The band have completed work on a new album (rumoured to be titled 'On' or 'Heaven City Falls'), however no release date has been set due to an on going dispute with current record labels Lakota records and Columbia Records/Sony. Songs tipped to be on the album include: 'Take From Me', 'Rainfalls', 'Underground', 'Maria', 'Everything', 'Radio' and 'Some Day'.

The band have started an online diary at www.jj72.blogspot.com which is regularly updated.


Hmm.

Neither their blog or their official site has been updated since November.

[cheesecheesecheese]

I like 'Snow' (I think that's what it's called!) :p

[jeremy kyle]

they grew up near me :happy: bout 5 minutes away

it always looks greasy. There's one pic of her with brown hair and she looks beautiful with it like that. Probably cause it's clean.

[cheesecheesecheese]

:lol:

[Babsie]

it always looks greasy. There's one pic of her with brown hair and she looks beautiful with it like that. Probably cause it's clean.
maybe cos it's blonde and really shiney?....
i think she looks better with blonde, she looks a bit scarey with black/brown hair.


and the music's good too....

[Britrock]

OK, it all seems to have gone tits up for the JJ72 lads, so why don't they just go on one big fuck off tour, stick a load of demos on t'internet, and rebuild their fanbase? They're obviously getting fucked over by their record label (hence there being NO promotion for the latest album) so why go back into the studio to spend more money on another album? Go back to what made you popular to begin with - the live shows!

[cheesecheesecheese]

So anyone know what's happening with JJ72 right now?

[Humphrey Goldenbollocks]

it always looks greasy. There's one pic of her with brown hair and she looks beautiful with it like that. Probably cause it's clean.

Who care's? I'd still bang her.

[Babsie]

So anyone know what's happening with JJ72 right now?
no one really knows, their album was due to be released last september...their blog hasn't had any new news since november, lacota's site doesnt seem to be working....so nothing im guessing. Getting screwed over by their record company seems just about right.

[cheesecheesecheese]

I haven't heard anything about them for ageeeees.

[el wormy]

i love them,and they come from down the road from me!

[jeremy kyle]

nah dont like them........at all

[lottie2002]

I only know October Swimmer, but that one's gorgeous :happy:

[Babsie]

...and they've just split up...:(

[crazybobbles]

After 11 years and two critically acclaimed albums which have sold in excess of 650k worldwide spawning a series of UK and Ireland chart hit singles including ‘Snow’, ‘October Swimmer’ & ‘Oxygen’ JJ72 have announced they are to split up with immediate effect due to record company issues. Mark Greaney is currently in the studio working on a new project with more details to be announced shortly.

Statement from JJ72

Reader, we are to let thee know,
JJ72's body only lies below;
For could the grave JJ's soul comprise,
Earth would be richer than the skies.

JJ72 was born during an Easter many seasons ago; today it dies on the cusp of midsummer eleven years later.
Mark Greaney, Fergal Matthews & Sarah Fox wish to express their deepest and darkest gratitude to all of those with impeccable taste who helped and supported the band.
" We remember everything, from mechanical birds in Japan to angels in arid Arizona, from broken bones and Berlin birthdays to predatory Portsmouth spiders. For those who disliked and perhaps despised (gasp) JJ72, thank you - how did beautiful photographs exist without a negative?! We crafted two monuments of magnificence for the future aural pleasure and pain of all would be JJ believers and doubters....and for those who care not for the passing of the petulant yet powerful pup....shame on you! Thank you to Hilary Woods for being a dazzling damsel and thank you to all who played music in/with the band. You know who you are. "

JJ72 decided it was the end as it did not want to undermine its achievements by continuing a ridiculous argument with a label that would not be able to support the release and touring of the third JJ opus - a label who lost funding from Sony/BMG some time ago.

fucking hell! stupid record label, they fucked them up on i to sky and now this!

[the latest plague]

they were really good,i loved them

[Muttley]

I'm currently listening to their debut album again :happy:

Everyone who ever enjoyed them should check Concerto For Constantine, Mark's new band. They are pwopa rock.

Hilary has told me to let you all know she's happy now living with me in Belgium :p

:chuckle:

Ahhh I loved this band. I have no idea why. :LOL:

[Muttley]

:chuckle:

Ahhh I loved this band. I have no idea why. :LOL:

Because you used to have SOME good taste?

[Caff]

I was thinking about this lot the other day and how I borrowed their first album from a friend but lost the copy I made of it :(

[Muttley]

Damn MuseMatt for not letting us uploading stuff on here :(

[Gemsy]

Because you used to have SOME good taste?

:LOL: SHUT UP my taste is amazing.
I collected their singles and everyfink. Awesome choons

[Muttley]

:LOL: SHUT UP my taste is amazing.
I collected their singles and everyfink. Awesome choons

Only singles of theirs I have are the 2 7 inches they released that weren't on an album.

You say you really don't know why you loved them? I would have loved to see them supporting MUSE back in the day :(

[Pib]

I was listening to their debut at work yesterday, actually. October Swimmer was a proper tune.

[Gemsy]

Only singles of theirs I have are the 2 7 inches they released that weren't on an album.

You say you really don't know why you loved them? I would have loved to see them supporting MUSE back in the day :(

Awww well, I know why - I thought they were awesome. But I dunno why I latched onto them so much. I'd lost interest by the second album though as I usually do with bands. :chuckle:

I forgot they supported Muse! As did Coldplay. Haha.

Awww well, I know why - I thought they were awesome. But I dunno why I latched onto them so much. I'd lost interest by the second album though as I usually do with bands. :chuckle:

Second album's good though :happy: I Saw A Prayer, Always And Forever, Serpent Sky and Formulae are all brilliant and just as good as most tracks on the debut. Damn, I must listen to them tomorrow (and Arcade Fire and INXS as well)

Coldplay is still good if you just take them for what they are.....better than average pop music :phu:

[Gemsy]

Oooh I remember Serpent Sky and Formulae. Goodtimes.

Nah, Coldplay are boring sorry.

[Muttley]

Oooh I remember Serpent Sky and Formulae. Goodtimes.

Nah, Coldplay are boring sorry.

That's because you want them to be boring

I've got the same thing with post Kid A Radiohead and I'm pretty sure I'm just imagining things but I just can't/don't want to get into it.

[Gemsy]

Nah I've just always found them boring. Since like, Yellow. I like my music with a bit of quirkiness - they just drone on about clocks and apples and shit.

[Gemsy]

Well, if it was actually about clocks and apples and shit it'd be awesome. damn metaphors.

[Gemsy]

Snow Patrol and Coldplay should get together and make an album of lullabies for babies.

Snow Patrol and Coldplay should get together and make an album of lullabies for babies.

Don't ruin the thread please :(

YOOOOOU AND IIIIIIIIII, we're flyiiiiiiiiing so hiiiiigh!

Damn MuseMatt for not letting us uploading stuff on here :(

Yeah, can't believe we had to close the mp3 thread!

It's mostly Surrender I miss. I've got an iTunes account, maybe I should stop worrying about money and just download it :LOL:
