Bully

Bully is an American rock band originating from Nashville, Tennessee, with a raw and energetic style that captures the essence of grunge and punk influences. The band was formed in 2013 by Alicia Bognanno, an artist with a twofold talent as both the band’s frontwoman and the audio engineer, harnessing her education from Middle Tennessee State University's audio program. Bognanno's distinct vocal delivery, marked by its fervent outcries and candid lyricism, has been a defining trait of Bully's sound, resonating with the emotional tumult often found in '90s alternative rock.

Bully's discography reveals a consistent devotion to gritty, authentic storytelling, underscored by their 2020 album "SUGAREGG," which received critical acclaim for its candid exploration of personal growth and self-acceptance. The band first gained notoriety with their debut album "Feels Like" released in 2015, which put them on the map with explosive tracks like "Trying" and "Too Tough." Over the years, they have continued to build on their momentum with subsequent releases, including "Losing" in 2017, showcasing their ability to weave vulnerability with their tough, garage-band sound. Notable collaborations such as "Lose You," featuring fellow indie musician Soccer Mommy, and covers like "About A Girl," showcase their versatility and reverence for the broader indie music scene. Bully’s music is often a visceral and unapologetic journey through the spectrum of human emotion, enveloped in the distorted warmth of Bognanno’s production, which has garnered a dedicated following eager for each raw and reflective release.
