I would call JJ72 a bit of a guilty pleasure, except that I never feel guilty about my listening habits. On principle.
I'm not sure if anyone outside of Ireland knows them. They were all the rage here for a short period at the beginning of the last decade, having an oddly charismatic singer with the voice of Brian Placebo, the face of a 12-year-old and some really nice lyrics. Musically they tended to venture into bland alterna-rawk territory but still, they were a hard band not to have a sneaking fondness for.
Sadly, they split up after two albums. Their singer's in a new band, and he's a lot less charming now. But I still like this one a lot.
