Bullett Media
I heard about Bully for months before I actually listened to them. Everywhere I went IRL, someone gwapita boucles d’oreille said, my god, you have to hear them! and their debut album, Feels Like, was on every year end list online. Maybe it because I a perpetual pessimist, or maybe it because I work at BULLETT (or maybe those are the same thing), but more often than not, when people tell me I love something, I end up hating it, almost by default. coque iphone coque huawei So, when I ended up in front of the band at omacoo boucles d’oreille last year Gov Ball, I was pretty positive I wouldn be into them. And then I heard Alicia Bognanno guttural howl.Mixing crass shoegaze guitar riffs with Bognanno slightly bratty but overwhelming vocals, Bully delivers radical scuzz pop that both sweet and sounds like a panic attack. Since releasing their debut bracelet femme ar album in 2015, the band has been constantly compared boucles d’oreille couleur corail to grunge boucles d’oreille coquillage blanc gods (and bracelet femme aimant goddesses), Nirvana and Hole. I should probably be transparent and tell you that I a lifelong (and diehard) Courtney Love fan. coque samsung coque iphone But, to me, Alicia sounds nothing like her and that a compliment. iphone 11 case The 27 year old singer comment ranger ses boucles d’oreille and guitarist has a voice that completely her own. And with their latest record, Losing, Bognanno solidifies that voice as one of punk most powerful.BULLETT caught up with the singer to talk podcasts, ProTools and writing about her period. coque huawei tatouage bracelet femme au poignet Read our interview, below.The way the industry is now, so many artists put out records every year. Everything I’ve been reading about Bully has called Losing your long awaited follow up record, even though you just put out your first album in 2015 it’s crazy. Why’d you decide to do it nowI don’t know how people put out records every year because usually, you’re touring records for at least a bracelet femme dore rose year. iphone 11 case So, unless you’ve got a really good routine for writing on the road, it’s really difficult. For the first record, we toured for a year and a half straight. coque huawei We finally just had to pull the plug so we could come back to Nashville and write. Then, we pretty much sat in boucles d’oreille perles de rocaille the small music room in my house, writing every day from 9 to 5, for two or three months.Was there a lot of pressure going into the making of the record, especially since Feels Like did so wellThere wasn’t a lot of pressure, boucles d’oreille argent massif and I wouldn’t say there’s pressure now. There are nerves, because we’ve just been sitting on it and anticipating the release. But we hit a point where we were ready, and we wanted to move on and write new stuff. coque samsung I mean, you can boucles d’oreille philodendron only play the first record for so long. At a certain point you start to feel like, let’s move on. coque iphone coque huawei Let’s get new stuff going and spice things up. were you listening to when you started writingA lot of podcasts usually 2 Dope Queens, Throwing Shade, Criminal or Revisionist History. coque huawei Throughout the writing process, I boucles d’oreille en diamant had ranger ses boucles d’oreille an ongoing list of podcasts, books, documentaries and movies that I thought would be inspiring or that could keep my creative juices flowing I was just always learning or re watching something. I definitely don’t listen to as much music as one would assume if I playing all day, I need a break to keep myself from getting too exhausted. coque iphone And when I in the writing process, I listen to music critically instead of just enjoying it.You gotten a lot of ’90s comparisons since the last album almost every review I’ve read likens you to Nirvana. chaussons pokemon coque samsung That’s obviously a huge compliment, but can it also feel limitingI feel that way. bracelet homme Of course, there are a lot of amazing bands that I admire that came out of that time. I happy if I going to be stuck anywhere to be put there. But it always funny to bracelet femme swarovski pas cher me, because I was born in 1990. I didn grow up a huge Nirvana fan they were already starting to get huge when I was born. coque iphone That’s not to say that it not great music, but I’d be lying if I said I was entirely influenced by them it’s just never been something boucles d’oreille meghan markle that’s been in the back of my head when I’m writing.On the last record, you wrote from multiple perspectives, and there wasn’t one over arching narrative. coque samsung coque huawei coque samsung boucles d’oreille dormeuses or What about this oneThis record’s similar in that each song is its own thing. I think that has something to do with the way that I write I don sit down and think of the record as a cohesive piece. Usually, if I’m writing something down, it’s because something bothered me or a lyric is stuck in the back of my mind. coque samsung I’ve never been very good at writing boucles d’oreille dessous de lobe just to write, and imagining a storyline. bijoux pas cher Concept records are great and they blow my mind it’s such an undertaking, and it’s just not how I write at all. But I think it’s really admirable.You’ve also used your lyrics as a boucles d’oreille taratata space to talk about your experience as a woman, from dealing with your period to feeling anxiety. Would you consider Bully to be explicitly feministI a feminist, so I wouldn say that far off. kawaii licorne But I didn start the band and then sit down with Reece and Clay and have a talk with them about being in a feminist rock band I just write about how I feel.It depends. coque iphone With this record, we just wanted to get it done. So, I gave myself certain hours everyday to sit down and play. Usually, I get a bug in my system, and I have to get it out. But the writing process for this record was really different. coque iphone coque samsung For the first record, I always sat down with my guitar, and I’d just come up with chords and a vocal melody, and write my lyrics last. bijoux personnalise Then I’d send it to everyone and we’d work it out together as a band. With this record, I found myself bored a lot of the time. I don know if it was because I already knew the chords or what, but I just didn want to mess around with boucles d’oreille inca leads anymore. So I’d start with a bassline and work boite bijoux boucles d’oreille out the rest from there. coque samsung I interested to see what the third record will be like because I found myself so bored with all the work I’d done before it so interesting what you pick up and move around just to work out a tatouage bracelet femme pied song.The theme of anxiety definitely continues on Losing, but I’ve also seen a lot of people call it a ‘break up record.’ Is itI feel like the initial push, at least with all of the press, was that this was a breakup album and it not. There’s less than half of a song about a breakup, but it seems like there’s a main character in every track, so it easily perceived that way, which I get. And I hate to say that a record is about anxiety, because it something that everyone deals with and is just part of life. iphone hoesje So, it just about being stuck mentally and not being able to work your way out of it. coque samsung Sometimes, you get stuck in a particular type of mood or feeling, and no matter how you change yourself physically, or your routine, you trapped in that mind frame. bracelet homme coque samsung It also about shamelessly avoiding any situations you should be sorting out or processing, and putting them on the back burner. It not all meant to be a bad thing the message is that sometimes, it okay to move on and boucles d’oreille ti sento not deal with shit until later because everybody responds differently.As a rock band, your live performance is an essential part of what you do. How do you think Bully translates from the stage to your albumsThe live show is significant when you a small indie rock band, that how you make money. It’s our main source of income, so we have to be on the road, doing a good job. coque iphone I always get so bummed when I fall in love with a record and then I see the show, and the band only plays five songs from it. coque samsung coque iphone You get bored on the road, and it nice to change your songs up. But on the first record, I was really focused on making sure our record was an accurate representation of the live show.
