Melding heavy grooves and dirty riffs into a swirling alchemy of fuzz-punk pop, Trash Pillow are a Berlin-based trio fresh off the release of their hard-hitting single 'Grieving Doves'. Formed in 2022, the band have been stirring up audiences across the city and beyond with infectious hooks, raw punk simplicity and solid musicianship, all tempered with 60s-influenced garage and infused with their distinct origin stories. The Orient meets the Occident smashing into Berlin city slime, Trash Pillow tell their stories of here and now
"Grieving Doves" is more than just a song—it’s a tribute to the Berlin-based activist group of the same name. The Grieving Doves are a grassroots movement formed by Berliners from diverse national, political and religious backgrounds. Drawing on the dove as a long-recognised symbol for peace and mourning, they lead demonstrations wearing wings adorned with the hand-written names of those lost in Gaza since October 2023—reminding the world of the toll on civilian life.
“Grieving Doves” will be available on all streaming platforms starting November 13. All proceeds from sales via Bandcamp will be donated to the Grieving Doves, furthering their efforts to promote peace and memorialize the lives lost.
