Pretty Pretty Awful
Pretty Pretty Awful: Despite their namesake, queer pop punk darlings Pretty Pretty Awful often find themselves being told they’re anything but.

From shredding to sold out crowds alongside performance artists and drag kings/queens to playing Cleveland landmark events like Ingenuity Fest and Brite Winter, Pretty Pretty Awful has made a name for themselves by their unique style and emotionally charged performances. The band’s debut EP, GET MEAN, released in October 2025.
