Pillowprince is an Oakland/LA-based indie grunge gaze band that makes rock from cracking folds of leather and glittering chain link, from nights of red-gelled stage lights and mornings after that are way too bright, from hair matted with joy and danger and most of all from bodies making places for themselves only they know.

Songwriter and guitarist Olivia Lee sings about queer joy, pain, love, and subversion, punctuating raw sincerity with vibrant brooding guitar riffs. Together with Sea Snyder on drums and Liza Stegall on bass, they create dense, propulsive shoegaze anthems.

Massive and melodious, Pillowprince ebbs and flows between a dramatic intimate grandeur and irreverent indie pop on their debut EP, pretty, baby!.

Pillowprince feels familiar. Their sound is the noise of nights screaming secrets into old friends’ ears and having just one more; the ache of breaking in heavy boots so you can walk wherever the fuck you want; the relief of tumbling into open arms. They’re bringing back a queer spirit— when are you gonna care about… is a mantra and a dare: there’s no time like now.
