Beauty School Dropout is a Los Angeles based rock band comprised of Colie Hutzler, Brent Burdett, and Bardo.
Spearheaded by A&R Mark Hoppus under new label Verswire with Pete Wentz and Sherry Saeedi, Beauty School Dropout’s debut single ASSASSIN is a culmination of the most iconic influences of mainstream rock music.
1. Tell us about “Assassin” and what inspired it?
Assassin was inspired by some toxic relationships we’ve endured where somehow we found ourselves allured by the chaos and falling in love with the madness rather than stepping back from it.
Sonically we were aiming to write the stickiest hook we could with heavy guitars to support it.
2. Tell us about your relationship with Verswire. What made you want to join their family?
Verswire is an extension of our family! Since the inception of this project we’ve been adamant about working exclusively with people who believe in the vision and show how much they care to be a part of it, which is exactly what Sherry did when we were introduced to each other. The whole team is full of all stars and has been so supportive in going above and beyond for us since the jump. It’s the best scenario we could’ve ever asked for and we are so proud to be working with this team.
3. What do you look forward to the most out of this signing?
All of it! We are constantly striving for growth with the band. I think the most exciting part of all of this is having the resources now to bring all of our outlandish ideas to life. We are also very eager to get on the road and looking forward to touring.
4. What is the main message behind your music overall?
Our message as a band is that no matter who you are, where you come from, what you believe, we are all human. We all deserve to be comfortable in our own skin and nobody should be able to take that from you. We encourage our Dropout family to be as painfully authentic to themselves as they can be and this is a space where you will be loved for being who you are.
