PWR BTTM

PWR BTTM‘s anticipated sophomore album (and first for Polyvinyl), Pageant, comes out next week (5/12) but now the whole thing is streaming. “Answer My Text” has already become something of an underground pop punk anthem…

In a move that hearkened back to the website’s earlier days, Pitchfork slammed New York buzz band Diet Cig with a 5.1 review. Then came the Twitter outrage…

PWR BTTM share the video “Answer My Text” off their upcoming album ‘Pageant.’ They also made a playlist of some songs they’ve had on repeat this month, and shared a collection of animated GIFs.

Kodie Shane, Lil Yachty, Little Simz, Lizzo, Mase, Mike WiLL Made It, Noname, PnB Rock, PWR BTTM, Priests, Downtown Boys & more played.

With a light, mid-tempo verse and a roaring crunchy chorus, “Answer My Text” should take you right back to ’90s rock radio…
