Documented collaborators
Over the years, PWR BTTM released two full-length records that captured critical attention and fan support. Their discography includes Ugly Cherries (2015) and Pageant (2017). Pageant earned strong critical praise and charted on multiple lists, signaling the band’s reach beyond cult circles. The momentum, however, was interrupted by serious allegations in 2017, leading to their split from major labels and subsequent withdrawal from platforms. Since then, the band has remained inactive, and there is no confirmed 2025 tour at this time.

The hits
PWR BTTM formed in 2013 at Bard College when Ben Hopkins and Liv Bruce joined forces, bringing a bold blend of queercore energy with indie rock and garage punk sensibilities. They quickly became known for high-energy live performances and a sound that defied easy categorization, appealing to listeners who crave authenticity and edge. The duo’s lyricism often explored identity, resilience, and counterculture themes, delivered with directness and wit.
After building a dedicated following in the underground scene, PWR BTTM released their debut full-length Ugly Cherries in 2015, followed by the 2017 album Pageant. Pageant received substantial critical praise, with Metacritic aggregating around 85, and it achieved chart placements on the UK Indie Charts (peaking around #46), US Heatseekers (#5), and Independent Albums charts (#31). This period marked the peak of their visibility and influence within independent rock circles.
In 2017, serious allegations led to a rapid and consequential change in the band’s trajectory. Both artists faced consequences from the industry, resulting in their dissolution as a group and removal of Pageant from many platforms. Since then, PWR BTTM has remained inactive, and there is no confirmed touring schedule for 2025. The band’s legacy continues to be discussed in historical and critical contexts within the indie music community.
For fans and researchers, Pageant’s reception remains a touchstone for conversations about indie rock’s intersection with queer identity and modern culture. While the duo has not released new material since 2017, their recorded work continues to influence artists exploring genre fusion and fearless storytelling.
