"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 byMischa Barton andOlivia Wilde , shared alesbian 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 AmericanChristian s. [THE STAR - "Bell X1 kiss loonies off" - SaturdayMarch 22 2008 , p.18]Paul Noonan said:"We actually got irate emails from some Christian folks linking us with that behaviour."
In2008 , 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."Track listings
