This review is from: What Becomes Before (Audio CD)

No, Billy Mahonie is not a single person, it's an instrumentalband from England consisting of four members. "What becomes before" is their second album (their first one "The Big Dig" was released two years ago). Billy Mahonie combine great songwriting and precise instrumentation with a big fable for noisy jazz ! It's not postrock or emo core, or whatever you like to call it. This is phantastic, essential rock music sans vocals, very entertaining, powerful and intense (with enough magic moments to make even jazz enthusiats (like me) wet their pants !). Every fan of bands like "Mogwai", "Tortoise", the late "Universal Congress of...", and especially "Slint" should pay attention and at least give it a try. For me, this record is surely one of the best new discoveries and Billy Mahonie is definitely a band to watch !
