Too Bad You're Beautiful is the debut album by the Long Island-based post-hardcore band From Autumn to Ashes. The album is unique in that it features the dual vocals of Benjamin Perri and drummer Francis Mark. Perri provides the hardcore-esque shouts while Mark sings and occasionally contributes background screams. The album was reissued in 2005 with the Sin, Sorrow, and Sadness demo as bonus tracks at the end.
A music video was released for the song The Royal Crown vs. Blue Duchess.
From Autumn to Ashes formed in 2000 with Benjamin Perri (vocals), Stephen Salvio (guitar) and Francis Mark (drums, clean vocals).[6][7] The band spent its first few months touring and would record the EP Sin, Sorrow and Sadness, which would be released through Tribunal Records that same year.[8] Following the EP's release, the band would appear on Warped Tour over the summer. In early 2001, From Autumn to Ashes performed with Skycamefalling and Martyr AD, where Carl Severson, founder of Ferret Music, was in attendance; the band would be signed to the label the following day.[7] Around this time founding guitarist Stephen Salvio left the band and was replaced by Brian Denevee.
Production of Too Bad You're Beautiful lasted from May 15 to 23 in 2001.[9] The album was produced by the band and Adam Dutkiewicz of Killswitch Engage at Zing Studios in Westfield, Massachusetts. Each song on Too Bad You're Beautiful is written about a relationship vocalist Benjamin Perri had. The album was released through Ferret Music on August 14, 2001. Too Bad You're Beautiful has sold over 100,000 units and remains one of Ferret's best-selling releases.[10][11]
