PWR BTTM
Formed in 2013 after guitarist Ben Hopkins and drummer Liv Bruce bonded over bringing drag culture and performance art into the D.I.Y. scene while studying at upstate New York's Bard College, the pair set about writing and recording material for a demo. PWR BTTM's first EP, Cinderella Beauty Shop, appeared in 2014, with its raw pop-punk and garage rock sound drawing comparisons to the likes of queercore pioneers Pansy Division and God Is My Co-Pilot. While creating a buzz with their live shows, the pair followed their debut release with the split-EP Republican National Convention with Jawbreaker Reunion. Continuing to tour throughout 2015, the pair entered the studio to record their debut album, with the resulting Ugly Cherries appearing in the U.S. on Father/Daughter Records in September. Earning rave reviews for their take on queer punk, the album was issued the following year in the U.K. and Europe on Big Scary Monsters. Following the success of their debut, the duo signed to Polyvinyl records in late 2016 and set about recording their sophomore effort, Pageant.
Pageant was greeted by positive reviews but days prior to its May 12, 2017 release a number of sexual assault allegations were lodged against Hopkins on social media. As the story spread, PWR BTTM lost their management and Polyvinyl ceased distribution of Pageant; Father/Daughter also stopped distributing Ugly Cherries.
