BELL XL Blue Lights on the RunwayIt's hard to tell who Ireland's Bell Xl are. Hidden beneath songs that are identikit duplicates of other bands lies a group who can clearly throw together a tune and a groove, but rely too heavily on their influences.

Listening to Blue Lights on the Runway "Great Defector" is a stupendous song, but it's a dead ringer for the Talking Heads.

As a tribute band Bell Xl would have it all; David Byrne's voice down to a tee, the big, breezy choruses and the musicianship.

But as a standalone band, they have some good songs but are standing too for in the shadows of their heroes to make a big impact as themselves.
