The duo Jezzebelle take 'Bad Seed' and really rock it up with just two voices, acoustic guitar and a drop of percussion. All told, an album worth checking out under any sign.
(Album of the fortnight - Jackie Hayden) - Hotpress Magazine
There's no denying the potential and power of Jezzebelle's 'Bad Seed'.
(4-star review) - Daily Mail
Unlike many magazines and music critics that will keep it short and sweet i feel this cd needs to be broke down, because this compilation of emerging talent each deserve an opinion
1.Bad seed by Jezzebelle You can hear the passion stream from this track with a nice upbeat acoustic folk blues feel the vocals stand out pretty well as they simmer a bit like Janice Joplin early blues number but a sweet little tune. *****
This has to be one of the best compilation cd's yet of some future stars and believe me there is on this album, well done The Zodiac Sessions this is the nucleus of unborn talent.

Jezzebelle song Bad Seed is the opening track on the album:

To coincide with this release, the music video for Bad Seed was launched in February and has since been featured on TG4’s POP4, City Channel’s Pure Music and on the web by YouTube, MySpace and Music Scene Ireland. The album was also named Album of The Fortnight by Jackie Hayden of Hotpress Magazine following the release.
In May Jezzebelle played The Carlsberg Kilkenny Rhythm & Roots Festival for the 2nd year running and after winning Dublin’s NOISE Concerts Battle Of The Bands, appeared as special guests for Eric Bell (Thin Lizzy), Don Baker and Rob Strong. Right now they are writing and recording material for their new album, the follow up to their 2007 debut - Dirt Tracks.

Following the release of Dirt Tracks, Jezzebelle won The Clonmel National Song Contest with their song The Road Ahead. This brought them to be a featured act on both MySpace and The Independent Artists & Musicians websites as well as local and national radio play including appearances on Newstalk’s Taste, FM104’s Open Mic and Phantom FM’s Access All Areas.
