Formation
Bruce and Hopkins met in 2011, while they were both attending Bard College in southeastern New York State. The band was originally a trio, who played many shows at Bard College. They spent several months working together and developing their skills as a pair before playing their first show or releasing their first demo, Cinderella Beauty Shop (2014).
The duo's name is an alternative to the term "power bottom", which is described by Fusion writer John Walker in a September 2015 article as "a receptive partner who eschews submission to play a dominant role during sex", meaning that while someone is "bottoming", they maintain the dominant power in a sexual interaction. Bruce and Hopkins both felt the name suited the group as a label of empowerment.
As of late 2016, the duo has signed to Polyvinyl Record Co. and are in the process of writing and recording their sophomore album.
