BONNIE TRASH // MOURNING YOU (ALBUM) POISON KISS (VIDEO) PUNKNEWS, KREATIVE KONTROL, WHOOOSH RADIO, NARC MAGAZINE, METAL HAMMER, CLASSIC ROCK
Today Guelph, Ontario hell-raisers BONNIE TRASH release their new album, ‘Mourning You’ via Hand Drawn Dracula. Alongside the album release, they have also shared a new video for “Poison Kiss“.
Bonnie Trash is the project of twin sisters Emmalia & Sarafina Bortolon-Vettor, wedding post-punk’s steely-eyed austerity to goth rock’s brooding grandeur. A lifelong project christened in 2017 with the release of ‘Ezzelini’s Dead’, the band’s debut EP which found the pair mining the Trevisan dialect and archaic Italian folklore of their heritage to grisly effect. Where their first full length, ‘Malocchio’ (2022), shrouded Bonnie Trash’s nightmares in dusky dreamlike reverb, ‘Mourning You’ is vivid and immediate. Emboldened by the addition of Emma Howarth-Withers on bass and Dana Bellamy on drums – whose thunderous rhythms sharpened 2024’s ‘My Love Remains the Same’ EP into a fine-edged blade – ‘Mourning You’ is less a post-mortem fantasia than a sudden, swift dagger to the heart.
