Pageant (album)

Pageant is the second and final studio album by American queer punk duo Pwr Bttm.

Originally released by Polyvinyl and Big Scary Monsters, the album's release was preceded by sexual abuse allegations against Pwr Bttm member Ben Hopkins.

Both labels dropped the band from their rosters and ceased production and distribution of Pageant, providing refunds to those who pre-ordered the record.

[5] With respect to the allegations of sexual abuse against band member Ben Hopkins, Sasha Geffen of Pitchfork commented on Pageant, saying, "What was a document of queer exuberance has now become a hollow sequence of songs, from a band whose sentiments were maybe always shallow.

[15] In the UK, the album debuted on the Indie Chart on May 19, 2017 at position 46.
