Are PWR BTTM the most important young band out there today? That might not be our question to answer, but their fans sure as fuck think so. And we’re not about to argue with anyone we think might be right.
Instead, we’ll soak in the news that PWR BTTM’s new album is called Pageant, it comes out May 12 on the Polyvinyl here in the States (and Big Scary Monsters in Europe), and it’s led by the ass-kicking new guitar-pop jam “Big Beautiful Day.” It’s a track as euphoric as it is catchy, and it’s all about standing up for what you believe in and defending those oppressed by others. The lyrics speak for themselves, and proudly.
“We love you all so, so, so, so much and we couldn’t be more excited to share this with you,” the New York duo write on Facebook. “Thanks for listening.”
To celebrate the new music news, PWR BTTM will also be taking their raucous show on the show, and their 32-date North American tour hits Brighton Music Hall in Allston on June 19 and Columbus Theatre in Providence the following night. Get all dates below, and play “Big Beautiful Day” as loud as you possibly can.
