In the space of four minutes, Biddlewood can break your heart and make your day. They’ll prove this to you with ‘Young and Foolish’, taken from their upcoming self-titled EP. Recently signed to youth-run record label Decibels Records and entering the studio for the first time, the band are tangibly excited: they have an undeniable, infectious energy, their sound tinged with nostalgia and soaked in sass. With 60s-infused guitar-pop melodies, and lyrics that sound like a conversation you would enjoy overhearing on the tram, these Melbourne girls make music with a maturity and edge that belies their years. Dual frontwomen Tali Harding-Hone and Bridget McArthur, along with drummer and vocalist Isabel Campbell-Taylor wrote their first song together in grade two. In a classic “let’s start a band” narrative, the band learnt their instruments as they went, which might explain the effortlessness of their playing: all three members play with a precision and restraint that lets their songs speak for themselves. The songs may feel short and sweet on the surface, but there’s a sour bite to Biddlewood’s lyrics that will catch you off-guard: “Please don’t tell your friends about s**t that you’ve made up about you and me/Or at least make it easier to believe”.
