Bonnie Trash is the project of twin sisters Emmalia and Sarafina Bortolon-Vettor, wedding post-punk's steeley-eyed austerity to goth rock's brooding grandeur. Rather than fashioning nightmares into reality, the band paints reality as a nightmare; rife with pain, suffering, and gothic theatre.

Like their forebears Joy Division, Black Sabbath, or John Carpenter, Bonnie Trash understands that everyday atrocities haunt the periphery of our lives. A black cloud looming on the edge of our vision. Curses abound. You can’t ward them off. You’d best make an unholy racket.

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. This is sorrow not as a lingering bruise, but a gushing wound.

Bonnie Trash has performed at renowned festivals across Canada, made their U.S. debut at The New Colossus Festival in New York City (2023), and has shared the stage with TRAITRS, Chastity, Dilly Dally, Bria Salmena, and The OBGMs. They have been featured in Guitar World, Metal Hammer, Classic Rock Magazine, Exclaim!, BrooklynVegan, and The Line of Best Fit.
