Beauty School Dropout Release “WHERE DID ALL THE BUTTERFLIES GO?”
After a summer of growing anticipation, L.A. rock band BEAUTY SCHOOL DROPOUT have at last released their highly anticipated debut album, “WHERE DID ALL THE BUTTERFLIES GO?” produced by acclaimed producer Neal Avron (Fall Out Boy, twenty one pilots, Linkin Park).
“WHERE DID ALL THE BUTTERFLIES GO?” is the sound of a fiery young band —comprised of Colie Hutzler, Beepus, Bardo, and Colton Flurry — at its peak. And now, after releasing a slew of singles over the previous weeks, fans now finally receive the full reveal. From the contemplative “SICK PUPPY,” to the pulsing “CITY NEVER SLEEPS” to the yearning title track, the album is a musical outfit firing on all cylinders.
“‘WHERE DID ALL THE BUTTERFLIES GO?’ is a story about unrequited love and the lengths we go to fill its void—whether in romance, work, or any part of life that feels endlessly unfulfilled,” the band says. “It’s about the irony of our vices, the ways we cope, and the joy and chaos we chase just to get it out of our system. It’s a hedonistic dream. A rock and roll revival. The album started as a batch of self-produced demos after a year of worldwide touring alongside acts like blink-182, Turnstile, JXDN, and more. We wanted to make rock music feel fun again. When’s the last time you walked into a party and a band was playing? We want to change that. With legendary producer Neal Avron, we took a more traditional, live approach that pushed us toward a rawer, more honest sound than we’d ever captured—walls of guitars, cutting-edge synths, and stadium-sized hooks. Party shit.”
In tandem with the album release, the band also today debuts the official music video for their latest single, “HEART AWAY.” Watch the music video for “HEART AWAY,” a tale of dimly lit desire, HERE.
“HEART AWAY is the club banger,” the band says of their latest single. “We want this song to feel like an electric night on the dance floor with heavy-hitting riffs and even stickier hooks. This one is meant to be a bandage for the broken hearts out there .”
BEAUTY SCHOOL DROPOUT’s recent single releases and previous projects, WE MADE PLANS AND GOD LAUGHED and READY TO EAT, have amassed over 90 million streams globally and more than five million views on YouTube to date, receiving praise from major outlets like Billboard, Alternative Press, SPIN, NME, Grammy.com, Kerrang, Rock Sound, and many others.
The rock band are set to hit the road in a major way this fall, first wrapping a tour alongside blink-182 and Alkaline Trio before heading to Europe in addition to hitting the road with LetLive. See updated tour dates below.
The release of “WHERE DID ALL THE BUTTERFLIES GO?” is the culmination of a jam-packed summer of new music for BEAUTY SCHOOL DROPOUT. In the past few months, the band released “TWO OF US,” “SEX APPEAL” as well as the thrilling “FEVER”; earlier this year, the band released the first listen to their just-released new album with “ON YOUR LIPS,” an experimental rock shot of adrenaline that gave fans a bold taste of what was to come, also receiving airplay on influential stations like SiriusXM’s Alt Nation and KROQ-FM in Los Angeles.
Since their explosive debut in 2022, BEAUTY SCHOOL DROPOUT have been disrupting the scene with a riotous blend of rebellion, freedom, and unapologetic self-expression. Their music challenges the status quo, celebrates individuality, and channels the frustrations and desires of a generation.
BEAUTY SCHOOL DROPOUT have already made an incredible mark as a live act, touring with blink-182 on their massive arena tour and joining Jaden Hossler (jxdn) across the U.S. They’ve delivered standout sets at major festivals, including four performances at Lollapalooza — with a breakout moment on the BMI Stage in front of 3,000 fans — and a spotlight appearance at Download Festival’s 20th anniversary. Their own highly-touted headline tours have sold out venues in major markets like New York, Los Angeles, and Nashville, while their high-energy rock show has also taken them overseas, with Maggie Lindemann and Stand Atlantic across the UK and Europe. They have spent the past several years not only pounding the pavement and gracing stages across the globe, but also evolving their fiery, infectious rock sound.
The band has collaborated on record with Mark Hoppus (“Almost Famous”), as well as artists such as Royal & the Serpent, and MOD SUN. They’ve also worked alongside an array of hit-making writers and producers, including Andrew Goldstein, Alex Gaskarth of All Time Low, Inverness, Jason Aalon Butler, Jay Kash, Lil Aaron, Jutes, Thrasher, Slush Puppy, and Dan Book.
