Beauty School Dropout

Based in Los Angeles, United States, Beauty School Dropout develops a rock sound at the crossroads of pop‑punk, emo and alternative pop, with a marked emphasis on melodic choruses and dynamic shifts. The trio, built around Cole Hutzler, Brent Burdett and Bardo, emerged in the early 2020s on the Californian scene before being backed by the Verswire outfit, notably supported by Mark Hoppus, which places Beauty School Dropout within the North American pop‑punk revival. The band released the album “We Made Plans & God Laughed” in 2022, then “Ready To Eat” in 2023—two releases that confirm a mix of direct guitars, hip‑hop‑adjacent rhythms and vocal lines often close to mainstream pop, with lyrics focused on relationships, partying and identities in transition. At the same time, Beauty School Dropout has been playing club tours and opening slots, positioning themselves on stages where alternative rock, pop‑punk and more hybrid sounds from internet culture intersect.
