JJ72

Irish alternative rock trio consisting of Mark Greaney (vocals/guitar), Hilary Woods (bass) and Fergal Matthews (drums), known for the albums JJ72 (2000) and I to Sky (2002).

Debut album JJ72 achieved strong sales (review cites over 500,000 copies). Singles "Oxygen" and "Snow" were successful in European charts. Reviews note a dark, melancholic sound and that the band's bassist later left the group (mentioned in DeBaser review).

Three DeBaser reviews praise JJ72's dark, melancholic sound and strong debut and follow-up albums. Reviewers compare them to Placebo, Smashing Pumpkins and PJ Harvey while noting distinctive vocals and atmosphere. The debut sold strongly and produced European hits. The second album is described as more diverse and darker.
