"[Billy Mahonie's second album, What Becomes Before] moves effortlessly from aching acoustic picking to juggernaut riffola, challenging and astounding the listener at every turn." Guitarist
"While many bands of their ilk try so hard to be clever and obscure, Billy Mahonie just seem happy to make beautiful noises that you'll never, ever be able to sing along to." Kerrang!
"One hundred per cent instrumental and totally unafraid to defy convention, they've stepped up a gear, morphing from a curious vocal-less quartet into a schizophrenic rock beast capable of stealing you breath." Kerrang!
"What Becomes
Before exists in an insular world that showcases a band who can out-metal
Bizkits within seconds, and cook up rhythms as coimplex and funksome as
The Neptunes. Which is pretty fucking relevant isn't it?"
NME
