2. The Pillows, An alternative rock band from Slovakia
3. Pillows, A female duo from Oakland, California
1. the pillows are an alternative rock band from Hokkaidō, Japan, best known outside Japan for their contributions to the soundtrack of the anime series FLCL (Fooly Cooly). They consist of Sawao Yamanaka (vocals, guitar), Yoshiaki Manabe (guitar) and Shinichiro Sato (drums)
The band officially formed on September 16, 1989 as a four-man group. The fourth man and original bassist, Kenji Ueda, left the band in 1992 to become a music producer and do solo work.

I've always thought that some of the best pillows songs are found on their single B-sides and what do you know, lately I' ve been listening to BLOCKHEAD a lot... it's also great to see that some other songs than the usual FLCL ones make it on the top tracks list.

@CcoolCzrs: You're not the only one. I don't like this amazing band being defined by an anime soundtrack. =|

Trial is fantastic. OOPARTS and Horn Again were alright, but not near as impressive as anything like PIED PIPER and back. It's nice to hear them back in the swing of things. =)

Trial is.... eh... ok. The second half is much better than the first, I'll give it that. But it still feels like every avex trax album the pillows have put out (except Pied Piper) has been cursed with mediocrity and bland production.

The new album Trial really impressed me and I liked it a lot more than the last two albums. Revival, Energia, Minority Whisper, Comic Sonic and Ready Steady Go! are my favorites among the ten tracks.

FLCL is one of best possible ways to discover these guys. I couldn't even imagine the anime series without the sound of the Pillows playing in the BGD. The soundtracks are immaculate, sure, but once you start listening outside of them you'll find there's a lot of different sides to this band that the soundtrack didn't display.
