Next-gen rock band Beauty School Dropout continues to unveil their new musical era with the release of ‘SEX APPEAL’, the latest single from their forthcoming debut album, WHERE DID ALL THE BUTTERFLIES GO?, to be released 5th September and produced by acclaimed producer Neal Avron (Fall Out Boy, twenty one pilots, Linkin Park).
‘SEX APPEAL’ is the sound of a band —comprised of Colie Hutzler, Beepus, Bardo, and Colton Flurry — continuing to push its sonic, lyrical and conceptual boundaries. In tandem with the single’s release, the band also today debuts its official music video, which features an appearance by the acclaimed singer-songwriter Royal & the Serpent. Watch it HERE. Showcasing an equal-parts wild and sensual heist, the video is pure raucous, rockstar mayhem… but with a deeper meaning.
“SEX APPEAL” is a look in the mirror and that punch in the face that life gives you when you realize you’ve been spending all of yourself on simply coping through the years to find some sort of high in life again. Really we just wanted to make something that sounds sexy and romantic, but has a deeper read as you dissect the lyrics.”
‘SEX APPEAL’ is the latest addition to Beauty School Dropout’s recent output. Last month, the band released the thrilling ‘FEVER’, and earlier this year the first listen to their forthcoming new album with ‘ON YOUR LIPS‘, an experimental rock shot of adrenaline that gave fans a bold taste of what’s to come. The tracks have collectively amassed over 1.2 million streams to date, with ‘ON YOUR LIPS’ receiving airplay on influential stations like SiriusXM’s Alt Nation and KROQ-FM in Los Angeles.
Their boldest move yet, WHERE DID ALL THE BUTTERFLIES GO? started as a batch of self-produced demos, following a year of worldwide touring with the likes of blink-182, Turnstile, Jxdn, Maggie Lindemann and others. The vision will come alive this September — fuelled by live, traditional takes and a raw, visceral edge that packs the party.
The rock band are set to hit the road in a major way this year, touring alongside blink-182 and Alkaline Trio later this summer in addition to newly-announced dates with letlive. and a six-date UK/European headline tour (TICKETS HERE). Additionally, they’ll be featured as part of both the Idobi Radio Summer School tour as well as on Warped Tour stops in Long Beach, and Orlando.
