THE BAND: Led by the extraordinary vocal talents of Alicia Boganno, Bully are a Nashville based four piece with a visceral sound reminiscent of acts such as Babes In Toyland, Mudhoney and Cloud Nothings. Following a spot upon Jack White’s Third Man Records showcase at SXSW, they have returned with the incredible ‘Trying’.
THE SOUND: Opening with enticing guitar licks that touch upon slacker rock royalty such as Pavement and Guided By Voices, a slinking bassline and the adoption of soothing lilt from Boganno lead the listener into a false sense of security before an uproarious chorus. Harking back to The Smashing Pumpkins during their Siamese Dream period with its howled vocals and imposing riff ; the track’s well constructed hook presents the band in all of their clamorous glory.
THE LOWDOWN: Bully’s debut album Feels Like will be available from June 23rd 2015 via StarTime, whilst looking to catch the band live can do so on the dates listed below.
