Billy Mahonie

Billy Mahonie is a rock band and not an Irish folk singer. Formed in London in the autumn of 1997 they play instrumental rock music. Although lumped in with the numerous jazz beard wearing post rock bands of the late 90’s, Billy Mahonie did much more than gaze at their collective navels and noodle around some horridly lame progressive jazz riff for a half hour. Mahonie’s music is indeed infused with elements of heavy rock, hardcore punk, jazz and folk but the emphasis is defiantly squared on ROCK and cathartic emotive and super energetic guitar music.

Combination Head

Combination Head is a new British progressive rock band helmed by keyboardist Paul Birchall. While Paul doesn't seem to have world-wide acclaim he seems to be in demand in the UK music scene, working with a number of recording artists. Combination Head doesn't just focus on Birchall's prodigious keyboard work. Keith Ashcroft hands bass and guitar while ex-Camel/10cc/Jethro Tull drummer Paul Burgess fits in perfectly. The music is very melodic and has a wonderful flow to it. Excellent stuff that takes me back to the 70s --> real fast! Highly recommended.

Leyaks

Leyaks' tunes are instrumental. They blend Melodic Post-Rock, Math, Electronica, Psychedelic and Heavy Rock influences with their own experiments in sound, playing techniques and frequent changes of style and pace. During their shows they project visuals onto the stage which are manipulated live by the band. Both music and visuals are rumoured to be inspired by Balinese black magic... Leyaks was formed in the summer of 2007 in London...
