Album Review: Beauty School Dropout – Where Did All the Butterflies Go?

Riding momentum from their breakout run, Beauty School Dropout (BSD) have finally released their next full-length album, "Where Did All the Butterflies Go?"

Championed by Mark Hoppus and Pete Wentz, the LA trio bring energetic alternative/punk-pop rock wrapped in nostalgia and hooks. Early glimpses from singles “Fever”, “Sex Appeal,” and “Two of Us” showcase their playful yet emotive sound. “Fever” is a high-voltage anthem about falling for someone so deeply it feels intoxicating—perfect for late-night adrenaline playlists.

Meanwhile, the band channels nostalgia and exhaustion through the album’s title theme—a feeling of love lost or energy drained—peppered with witty lyricism. MelodicMag praises the album, saying BSD “find their wings” here. Supported by features on the Idobi Summer School Tour, Warped Tour, and openers for Blink-182, the band’s live momentum matches their recorded buzz.

Verdict: Where Did All the Butterflies Go? solidifies BSD’s ascent as a bright, theatrical alternative act—melding humor, heart, and rock energy into something keeps fans buzzing.
