Ugly Cherries is the first full-length album by the New York City queer punk duo Pwr Bttm. According to the album's record label, Father/Daughter Records, the album is about "...the duo's experiences with queerness, gender, and adulthood over the course of a year of living in upstate New York". [1] The album's title comes from Ben Hopkins' distaste for maraschino cherries and its personification for Hopkins' queerness, claiming "it sort of fell in line with my self loathing on the subject". [2]
Pwr Bttm signed with Father/Daughter Records after the co-founder Jessi Frick retweeted the music video for Pwr Bttm's song "Carbs". Ben Hopkins then messaged Frick over Twitter, which eventually led to a record deal. [2]
Ugly Cherries was recorded in Hudson, New York. [3]
