biographical info

Guilty About Girls is Jordy Birch and Mark R. Henning.   Jordy sings and plays guitar.   Mark plays with the light bright and tends to the other bits.  The music is somewhere between the Velvet Underground and New Order, traditional rock and roll with electronic beats.   Born in Mark's basement over the summer of 2007, Guilty About Girls is the latest vehicle for artist Jordy Birch (former singer of Pure) to attach his observations on the absurdities of waking life.  Mark Henning (Combine the Victorious/ex-Pure) joins him with dual duties of programming and production.    Their first radio single, "Candy Candy", managed to gain national radio play as well as rotation on Much Music and even the #1 Electronic Album spot on iTunes Canada (Dec 2010).

Winter 2011 sees the release of Dancefloor, a video is in development for this single as well.

It should be noted that Lucas T. Poth aptly complimented them on their early recordings as drummer on record as well as stage.
