Trash Pillow is a hard-hitting noise machine from Berlin, fusing gritty riffs, melodic bass lines, and 60s-influenced garage tones into a weird, groovy mix of punk and danceable chaos. Their songs tell stories—personal, political, and everything in between—capturing the absurdity of everyday life and the weight of global conflict. Raw, loud, and unafraid, their upcoming EP delivers resistance wrapped in rhythm.

With the EP RAW, Trash Pillow digs deeper into the fractures of our world — each track confronting war in its own language: from global violence to the private battles we fight in our minds. It’s a record about what it means to stay human when the air itself is charged with conflict.
RAW is built from four distinct but interconnected tracks:
Bombs Make Her LOL – based on a true story from Syria’s war, about a father who teaches his 5 year old daughter to laugh every time a bomb explodes nearby — turning terror into a game to shield her from trauma, and exposing the heartbreaking absurdity of survival.
Eyes On Us (It’s the Sound of a Drone) – a confrontation with the double edge of modern drones: the surveillance machines that hover over protests to control and intimidate, and the armed drones that terrorise civilians in war zones. It’s the sound of paranoia, power, and danger coming from up above.
Fellow Traveller – a haunting reflection on the Goebbels children, victims of their parents’ choices during the collapse of the Nazi regime; a reminder that even in the heart of evil, innocent lives are consumed by it.
She’s From A War –the raw, human story of fleeing conflict in search of safety — a safety that isn’t guaranteed. It’s the story of millions who never chose to be born into war, yet must carry its weight across borders.​

First single from the upcoming EP RAW
Ever get the feeling someone’s watching you?
You’re right.
Up above, there’s a sound — a sharp, mechanical hiss that cuts through the air.
It’s the sound of a drone. It’s the sound of control.
“Eyes on Us (It’s the Sound of a Drone)” is the first of four tracks from Trash Pillow’s upcoming EP RAW, where each song confronts the theme of war — from different sides, distances, and states of mind.
It’s gritty, distorted, and uncomfortably human — the sound of anxiety turned into defiance.
Written in Berlin during the chaos of protests, the song captures that uneasy dance between peace and control — people marching for humanity while machines hover and record above.
The video features a red cone, a surreal symbol that shouts, listens, and watches — a reminder that surveillance wears many faces: authority, fear, even our own reflection.
Eyes on Us is not just a song — it’s a warning flare.
It’s what happens when noise becomes truth, and silence becomes complicity.
