Beauty School Dropout is an American rock band based in Los Angeles, California. Formed in 2020, the band consists of lead vocalist Cole "Colie" Hutzler, bassist Brent "Beepus" Burdett, and producer/guitarist Bardo Novotny.[1][2] HistoryBeauty School Dropout was initially created by Cole Hutzler as a solo project while he was still part of the band Strangefaces. After Strangefaces disbanded, Hutzler brought in his former bandmate Brent Burdett on bass and Bardo Novotny as a producer and guitarist to expand the project into a full band. The groups early development was supported by Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy and mentor Mark Hoppus of blink-182, under their Verswire label. Further support came from manager Nick Lippman, producer Diego Ruelas and Veeps founder Sherry Saeedi.[2][3][4] The band released their debut single, Last Time, in February 2020. The song was followed by three other singles in the same year. In October 2021, the group released their debut EP, BOYS DO CRY. The EP featured collaborations with artists like Jason Aalon Butler and Rob Cavallo. For live performances, the band included former Strange Faces member Mike Rose as a drummer to enhance their stage presence.[2] In December 2021, the band collaborated with singer Royal & the Serpent on her single LUCID DREAMS.[5] Their first full-length album, We Made Plans & God Laughed, was released in August 2022. This album featured heavier guitar sounds and introspective lyrics, with a notable collaboration with Mark Hoppus on the single ALMOST FAMOUS. The album was supported by the groups first headlining tour, named The Almost Famous Tour. Two songs of the album were released as singles, the title song We Made Plans & God Laughed and A$$A$$IN.[2] In February 2023, they released the first single of their upcoming album, FREAK.
