Episode 40: God Bullies

As Above, So Below — the first God Bullies album in 30 years, recently released on Reptilian Records — has a very different lineup to the last time the band appeared on record, but the story of frontman and founding member Mike Hard and guitarist Scott Kodrik goes back many years. The two discuss some of the many tales from decades spent navigating the noise-rock underground, from their peculiar first meeting, their time together in Thrall and how this new iteration of God Bullies came about and came to release As Above, So Below. Recorded at the famous Electrical Audio studio in Chicago, As Above, So Below shows that God Bullies in 2024 is still a noise-rock beast to be reckoned with.Photo: Scott Kodrik Closing track: "As Above, So Below" from As Above, So Below (Reptilian Records, 2024) For all things God Bullies: https://www.instagram.com/god_bullies_official https://god-bullies.bandcamp.com https://www.tiktok.com/@god_bullies https://x.com/GOD_BULLIES Podcast artwork and logo: https://www.garjk.com/ Intro music: "Detachment" by Tom OsmanCheck out my new album Real Silence from Drama RecorderThanks for reading (and listening to and watching) to Whatever Comes Next.
