Beautiful Freaks is a Seattle-based hardcore glam band known for producing sonically heavy and lyrically angry “queercore music for you to cry about.” The story goes that guitarist James Bonaci and drummer Peter Bryson bonded in 2013 over a shared love of experimental punk, metal, and jazz. The duo later added vocalist Meg Hall into the mix, resulting in a discography dripping with frenetic guitar, reverberating vocals, and thrashing breakdowns.

This Fall we released our new EP 80HD, a lean, mean EP that shows highlights of a period of transition, both for our band, and for our world. Constructed over the past 3 years, these 5 tracks cover a wide variety of musicals and lyrical themes. Skate Punk, Doom Metal, Disco, Prog, Power Violence and more.

We are fierce supporters of queer acceptance and trans liberation for punks of all ages, Beautiful Freaks is inspiring those around them to be loud, proud, and their freakiest selves.
