Bonnie Trash is the project of twin sisters Emmalia and Sarafina Bortolon-Vettor, fusing post-punk austerity with goth rock’s brooding grandeur. Rather than fashioning nightmares into reality, the band paints reality as a nightmare. Like forebears Joy Division, Black Sabbath, and John Carpenter, Bonnie Trash finds horror in everyday atrocities. Where their first full length, Malocchio (2022), shrouded Bonnie Trash’s nightmares in dusky dreamlike reverb, Mourning You (2025) is vivid and immediate. Mourning You is less a post-mortem fantasia than a sudden, swift dagger to the heart. Following tours across Canada, the UK, USA, (including a sold-out Reeperbahn set in Hamburg), the band has shared stages with TRAITRS, Chastity, Dilly Dally, Bria Salmena, and earned praise from Guitar World, Metal Hammer, and The Line of Best Fit. “a blend of doom, goth, shoegaze and post-punk that is moody, heady and instantly captivating” 8/10 – METAL HAMMER "a sonic mass that's abstract, beautiful and bloodcurdling equal in measure" - GUITAR WORLD “deliver cinematic gothic rock’n’roll inspired by grief and love – deal in abrasive alt. rock with touches of black metal, brooding gothic rock, and NIN-like electronica” – CLASSIC ROCK MAGAZINE RIYL: Siouxsie and the Banshees, Black Sabbath, The Stooges, Joy Division, PJ Harvey, Emma Ruth Rundle, John Carpenter, NewDad, Chat Pile
