Episode 108: Birdwitch Interview with Raya (Vocals) & Kieron (Drums)

Hailing from Norwich, UK, Birdwitch are a self-described “Dream Violence” band, blending elements of doom, shoegaze, post-metal and prog (amongst other influences). Birdwitch offer an emotional, spiritual melting pot of rage, pain and catharsis, introspectively exploring in an attempt to heal, learn and grow in this short life. Their debut EP, 'bless the spark that found its home', was released on October 7, 2025, featuring tracks such as “Starling.” I got to sit down with members Raya (Vocals) and Kieron (Drums) where we talked about how the band started, the recording process for their debut EP, 'bless the spark that found its home', and the music scene in Norwich and more! With great stories, chats and banter this is not one to be missed. Avalible on all streaming platforms.
