Pillowinde is a indie rock/power pop band/project based out of New Brunswick NJ. Starting out as a solo project by singer and guitarist Claire Ruiz, a band was formed with David Ramos (Quickclot) in the fall of 2021, with the 2 playing shows in the New Brunswick area. On April 1st 2022 they rereleased the eponymous solo debut, "Pillowinde". The true debut album, "Jets to Brunswick", was released a year later on April 14th, 2023. Around this time David left the band, and Chelsea Bentivegna joined on bass. Playing around with different lineups and friends, including Daddy's Closet, Super Jack, Kie from Polyester Hall, and Ori from Final Resting Pose, Pillowinde eventually solidified, with its current lineup in the newest era consisting of Julia Haviland on flute, keys, and vocals (Marty I'm Afraid), and Harry Horowitz on trumpet (Marty I'm Afraid)

Some influences include Superdrag, of Montreal, Built to Spill, Weezer, Ween, The Microphones, as well as Duster (on a sadder rainy day). Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
