If you are wondering what everyone is doing now, you can check out the band "theyneversleep". The band consists of Mike Hard, Adam Berg, David Livingstone, and Karen Neal. Three past God Bullies members and Karen Neal (who has been in a few projects with Mike Hard and also appeared on Kill The King). Thank you for stopping by!
GOD BULLIES
The very name strikes fear into the hearts of penitent types everywhere. God Bullies. Hailing from Kalamazoo, Michigan, home of the state's largest mental facility and some particularly noxious ground water contamination (both coincidences, we are assured). God Bullies. Midwestern weirdness from the region that invented the name. God Bullies
Formed in 1986, the original line-up recorded 2 albums and 2 singles before attrition and lack of endurance claimed the lives of bassist Mike Corso and drummer Adam Berg. Berg was replaced with ex-Cows drummer Tony Oliveri and Corso with Eric Polcyn, creating a now-even-more-nightmarish-and-ferocious unit, ultimately coming to fruition on 1990's acclaimed double single, Join Satan's Army. War on Everybody, an aural autopsy of the world as we know it, and the band's third album followed closely. God Bullies.
Fronted by the uh, "charismatic" singer/psychopath Mike Hard, have established themselves as one of the most popular live bands on the club circuit, especially in their native Midwest, where faith in a higher power seems to ebb and flow with their coming and going. God Bullies. Shifting from former label AmRep to the West Coast's Alternative Tentacles, released album number 4, Kill the King, another dark and churning release, but not without a touch of humor. This album will reach out and lift you into a state of ecstasy, then crush all hope like some ripe grape under an extremely heavy object. God Bullies. Simply that.
God Bullies suffered an untimely demise a few years back (nothing to do with the Religious Right, or so we're told). Mike Hard and friends went on to form Thrall.Thrall laid low for awhile, but they came back in to full swing in 2000 and will be releasing a new album before summer 2001! Amen.

i..ve seen the god bullies three times in the early nineties and they were my favourite band in the world. i still consider the shows one of the best concerts i..ve ever seen in my life. a lot has happened since, but i..m very glad to see you guys are still alive and still active. back in the days i even did an interview with mike hard for a fanzine here in austria and was so happy to see that he..s really a nice person (even when he had to talk to a sixteen year old kid like me). abigail and shallow grave are still just great american songs- for eternity! thanks so much for all you did and all the best to you and your families! love, urbs
