JJ72, what an annoying voice that dude had...

that song 'Snow' was ok - and just out of interest is it in their contract to have a female bassist?
JJ72 return!
Thats exactly what I was thinking..the worse fucking annoying vocals ever!
JJ72 return!
Is it true they got a new bassist because the singer was going out with the previous bass player's sister and cheated on her so she quit?
Re: JJ72 return!
you make having a female bassist sound like a bad thing, I don't hear people complaining when a male leaves and is released by another male.
JJ72 return!
anyone else really don't care?
JJ72 return!
no. that is not true.

my friend described the singer as having an over-sized head and duckling hair.
and snow was fucking rubbish!
oxygen was the closest they came to an acceptable song.

...I quite liked JJ72.

will be interesting to hear the new stuff- still yet to get into the second album, but some good tunes nonetheless.

Their debut was a fine album, and I won't have anyone say otherwise. It takes balls to sing like that (and yes, I'm leaving myself wide open there).
Re: JJ72 return!
Not sure it takes balls... but first album was indeed quite good.

he's still got that voice. except i think it's gone more mewlymowlimewy now

Re: JJ72 return!
I like JJ72, although i fear they'll go all 'feeder' soft rock on us.
JJ72 return!
well hillary couldn't play for shit and was just there to get the magazine photographers interested

"It takes balls to sing like that"
yeah, just ones that haven't dropped yet.

Re: JJ72 return!
The first album had a few decent moments but was mainly quite average. The second album was really underrated though, there's some great songs on there if you can get past the voice and Mark's pomposity.
Re: JJ72 return!
wow you signed up just to quell that particular rumour, but how do you KNOW it isn't true?
Re: JJ72 return!
it would take your balls getting crushed and twisted to sing like that.
i did buy the album though.... it's tolerable i suppose.

i quite liked october swimmer, and the first album was pretty good overall i thought. the duders voice did start to grate after a while though.

Always saw them as a bit of a poor mans Muse.

what about the voice of mark greaney?
how did it get so high?
I wonder if he talks like an ordinary guy...
i've met him, and he does

& I wish they'd bugger back off to whence they came...

I to Sky was one of the most underrated albums ever. Absolutely superb and deserved to have sold a lot better. They're great live too.
'Heat' (a new JJ72's track) is brilliant.

your all full of shit they are a quality band last album was quality. most of you can only hear wats on the surface go deeper and you'll find they are an excellent band. a proper band.
JJ72 return!
most of you probably havnt even listened to anything they done. mark greaney has a quality voice and he knows wa hes talkin about. They are making great music and not following any movements or trends like all other bands.
Re: JJ72 return!
I am embarrassed to confess that I own their debut. It is an utter crock of shit that worsens in time and i am ashamed of myself for admitting I once liked it. Toilet band. Avoid.
JJ72 return!
mark greaney is a talented songwriter. I would like to see the people dissin him write better songs...yeh thats what i thought...so shut up. brother sleep is a great song. some of his songs even put noel gallagher to shame. so stop talking shit people!
Re: JJ72 return!
lmao... you weren't doing that badly till the penultimate sentence!
JJ72 return!
