Go big or go home. That’s one of the things you can say the Pillow Queens must have taken as a motto. The four-piece from Dublin release their third album Name Your Sorrow on Friday, April 19. It was produced by Collin Pastore — who’s worked with Lucy Dacus and her ‘other’ band boygenius in recent years — at Analogue Catalogue in Newry, which is 100% female-owned and home to vintage equipment and amps, some belonging to New Order. 

Pillow Queens are supporting Snow Patrol at the 26,000-capacity Thomond Park on July 13 and, a day later, play their biggest headline show to date at Dublin’s Iveagh Gardens. It’s what every band should aim for — taking the next step up with every album.
