About Alicia Bognanno
Alicia Bognanno is an American musician. She is the guitarist and lead vocalist for the indie-rock band Bully. Bully was founded by Bognanno, who was born in Germany and spent her teen years in Rosemount, Minnesota. Bognanno earned a degree from Middle Tennessee State University in audio recording before getting an internship at Steve Albini's Electrical Audio studios in Chicago. She started recording demos of her own material before relocating to Nashville, Tennessee, where she worked as an engineer at Battle Tapes Recording and The Stone Fox venue. She formed Bully in 2013 as a trio, with her then-boyfriend Stewart Copeland on drums (not to be confused with the drummer for The Police) and bassist Reece Lazarus.
Bully released their debut album Feels Like in June 2015. Feels Like received generally positive reviews from critics. Laura Snapes of Pitchfork wrote, "The coarse Cobain head-scream of Bully singer, songwriter, and guitarist Alicia Bognanno is its own resuscitating jolt of protest... she spends much of Feels Like tearing down the house with her howl."
