Original

"Eve" was originally written and performed when Bell X1 were Juniper (featuring Damien Rice). Called "Never", it was released on the "Neither Am I" album, before being rewritten and retitled "Eve, the Apple of My Eye" for their second album, "Music In Mouth".

The O.C. controversy

The song was famously used in a scene of American teen drama television series "The O.C" in which two of the female characters, played by Mischa Barton and Olivia Wilde, shared a lesbian kiss. This incident gave the band a wider appeal. "Eve, the Apple of My Eye" subsequently went on to feature on the music compilation, "". However the band were also on the receiving end of some "rather ridiculous" hate email from some angry American Christians. [THE STAR - "Bell X1 kiss loonies off" - Saturday March 22 2008, p.18] Paul Noonan said:

"We actually got irate emails from some Christian folks linking us with that behaviour."
In 2008, a Bell X1 gig on their US tour was attended by members of the cast. Noonan said:
"A couple of them came to see us play the Viper Room in LA... and we didn't know who they were."
