The Bishop’s Daredevil Stunt Club (BDSC) — Chicago’s premier crew of roughed-up power pop daredevils — defies sonic gravity with fearless hooks, revved-up riffs, and high-wire energy that leaves a crowd buzzing.  They’ve nailed landings on the airwaves of WGN radio/TV, WXRT’s Local Anesthetic (where “Hold You Up” soared as Big Beat Artist of the Week), Q101’s Demo 312, WNUR’s Powerpop Shoppe, and CHIRP Radio. Live, they’ve pulled off death-defying sets at Metro, Lincoln Hall, House of Blues, Bottom Lounge, Reggie’s, and Cubby Bear, while having taken their daredevilry global to New York, Liverpool, and London. Releases include the full-throttle End Over End (2019), Please Stand By(2022), and the adrenaline-pumping Vanishing Point EP (2023). Led by indomitable frontman William Giricz (vocals, guitar, multi-instrumental wizardry), the lineup — locked-in drummer Dave Boenzi, high-octane rhythm guitarist Darin Greg, and multi-talented bass virtuoso Mark Watson — turns every gig into a rad, sweat-soaked thrill ride. Buckle up: BDSC is gearing up for their boldest stunt yet — a brand-new LP launching late May 2026, packed with more signature punch, hooks that stick like an Evel Knievel landing, and pure, unfiltered sonic adrenaline. No net required!

Chicago Power Pop

The O’Brien cousins all grew up together in a council housing project in Sheffield, England, where they played in several bands together. Following a hurriedly hushed-up pre-international incident, they now make their home in the Logan Square neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois, where they currently hold the tile of the city’s 5th Best Power Pop Band.
