about

All songs written and performed by Birdpop.

Birdpop is Sonny Witton, Beatrice Bleechmore, Jack Spencer and D'arcy Noonan.

"One of the most refreshing and sincere debuts in recent years... Birdpop share a palpable sense of love for each other and indie rock”.

- Naarm based producer, Dylan Young, (Way Dynamic, Cool Sounds, Snowy Band)

Birdpop was born in a Brunswick shed on a Friday afternoon in February, 2022. Jack Spencer texted friend D’arcy Noonan asking, “know any good drummers?” Beatrice Bleechmore had never drummed in her life. The group were joined by Spencer’s former housemate, Sonny “Electric” Witton on lead guitar. Recorded at Sound Recording Studios in Djaara Country under Alex Bennett (The Teskey Brothers, CW Stoneking), Guess What!? started and finished in the final week of November 2022.

Guess What!? is the birth of a band that is unafraid to write a love song and unafraid to share their pain, together. Where the birds scream out the back, hear a foursome in flow, their wings stretched.

- Martin Walker
