Bonnie Trash
Guelph, Ontario
Bonnie Trash is the darkened shoegaze/post-punk drone project of twin sisters Emmalia and Sarafina Bortolon-Vettor. Their 2022 debut album, Malocchio unspools a real-life horror story based on the stories told to them by their Italian grandmother. Sonically, Bonnie Trash connects the threads between metal, post-punk, shoegaze and gothic rock, with Emmalia’s guitar work recalling the likes of Black Sabbath, Godspeed! You Black Emperor, Joy Division and My Bloody Valentine. Singer/lyricist Sarafina’s voice leaps out of the mix with a commanding presence, summoning hints of PJ Harvey or Siouxsie & the Banshees.
