Alicia Bognanno of Bully
BULLY BRINGS ORIGINAL POP-PUNK SOUNDS to HELSINKI HUDSON
(HUDSON, N.Y.) – Bully, the Nashville-based rock quartet that is the brainchild of Alicia Bognanno and is already earning comparisons to 1990s pop-punk bands like Hole, the Breeders, and Veruca Salt, brings its melodic hardcore confessionals to Club Helsinki Hudson on Friday, January 8, at 9pm. As lead singer, songwriter, guitarist, and producer and engineer of her band’s debut album, “Feels Like” (StarTime/Columbia) – which just garnered a 3½-star review from Rolling Stone Magazine — Minnesota native Alicia Bognanno is a multiple threat. Bognanno’s visceral approach to songwriting trades in steely observations, raw-nerve confessions, and intense anger directed almost exclusively at herself, although a few bystanders and bad exes might get caught in the crossfire. It’s no wonder Bognanno is being touted as her generation’s answer to Courtney Love and Liz Phair. Bognanno is her own bully.
