thread of BULLY / alicia bognanno

I’ve had their new record, SUGAREGG, on repeat for a week. who else is making music like this? it’s like a mix of nirvana, hole, superchunk, maybe some early pavement, and some of the guitars even remind me a little of MBV. the energy is fucking insane!

Oh sheeeeit forgot this was out. Thanks for the heads up!

The Orville Peck cover was great fun earlier this year - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1wTp0FQh-c

They're so, so fun live too!

yeah I can imagine them being great live!

this was a fun little zoom set. seems pretty hard, for not surprising reasons, to find performances of my favorites from the new one, the thrashier "add it on" and "not ashamed"

holy shit this is the best album EVER

"How Will I Know" is a certifiable smash chorus

I'm late to this party but Bully has been the whole soundtrack to my life for like A YEAR. This recent collab with Blondeshell is running through my head 94/7.
