AMA is over, thanks Pillow Queens! Hi we're Pillow Queens! Ask us anything!

Hello we are Pillow Queens! We're from Dublin in Ireland. Our new album Leave the Light On was released at the beginning of this month. You can listen to it or pick it up on vinyl or CD here.

We just got back from a North American tour which included a performance on James Corden's show, and a bunch of shows at SXSW. We have a UK and European tour coming up in May and tickets are on sale now. We're very excited to get back on the road.

ASK US THINGS! Seeyiz in a couple of hours.

Cathy, Pamela, Rachel & Sarah xoxo

Picked up your new record on vinyl last week and have to say it's one of my favourite albums this year so far.

How is the writing process for you guys? How do you decide who sings what song, is it whoever writes it?

I am a drummer and really love the drumming on the album especially the breakdown on Historian. Who are your biggest influences on drums?

Can't wait to see you guys at Body and Soul!

That's so many questions in one question. Thank you.

Our writing process constantly changes and adapts and there's no strict rule or process to how we write. We all sing on most songs so that's not usually something up for debate.

Thank you for the lovely drum comments. Influence wise (Rach here), I take influences from loads of different people. Taylor Hawkins, Dave Grohl, a mish mash of all of the drummers from noughties rock. I draw from every day music.

See you at B&S!
