The Belsonic Sound Alcohol

Band From Cork Ireland - Belsonic Sound From The 1980's
Line Up : Finny Corcoran [Vocals & Guitar], Jim O'Mahony [Keyboards], Gene Russel [Bass Guitar], John McCorack [Drums]
Described as "clear strong white reggae rhythm, detailed with fine-needle guitar
and daubed with a wash of primary coloured keyboards". Post-punk reggae in other
words, and highly rated at the time. Appeared on Mega-Mix in December 1986 and
Visual Eyes in 1987. By 1988 they had a new drummer and were adding more rock
and soul flavouring. The band apparently recorded into the 90s but I have no
information about this later incarnation.

Recorded several demos including "Positive Living" (considered as a single in 1986)
and "For Sale" and "Blinded". Also recorded a mini-LP in 1987.
