Pillow Queens are an indie rock band from Dublin, Ireland.[1][2]
History
Pillow Queens formed as a band in late 2016 when the group released their first demo EP entitled Calm Girls.[2] The release of this record was followed by performances on the Irish festival circuit, including at Electric Picnic and All Together Now.[3][4] After the release of their second EP, State of the State, the group performed with the likes of Pussy Riot, Future Islands, Idles and performed in the IMRO room at Other Voices.[1]
As of mid-2019, the band were in the studio working on their debut LP, tentatively due to be released in mid 2020.[5]
Style
The band have both pop and punk influences; however, they have been hesitant to define their work as either, in order to avoid being labeled.[6]
Pillow Queens have been described by Paste magazine as having a "sonic palette" crossed with "ragged-edged" guitars, combined with "smooth harmonies".[6]
