Pillow Queens release new track ‘Rats’
They’ve also announced their signing to Royal Mountain Records!
Announcing their signing to Royal Mountain Records, Pillow Queens are celebrating by sharing new track ‘Rats’, alongside its accompanying video directed by Michael Maxxis!
“Filming the video for ‘Rats’ was catharsis at its best,” explains guitarist Pamela Connolly. “After 18 months of no gigs and being inside, we finally got a chance to gather in a venue and simulate a real life gig with some of our closest friends. The chant section towards the end of the song is usually a highlight of our live set and we had really missed that energy so having a chance to recreate that was really special.”
You can also get a chance to recreate a bit of the video with Pillow Queens IRL as they head off on tour this week! See the full run of dates below.
