With several LPs and EPs on former label Amphetamine Reptile and various other independent labels, breaking up and shuffling members to return on West Coast’s Alternative Tentacles for their fourth LP since 1994. While the founding member, Mike Hard went on to perform in several bands including Thrall, Hand Over Head, and BrainSaw, with incestuous sharing of members between these bands, with the one constant through all this twisted output being the charismatic singer/psychopath, “Father” Mike Hard.
Fast-forward to 2024, and Father Hard and a core group of deranged Detroit disciples – guitarist Scott Kodrik, bassist Pat O’Harris, and drummer Cliff Carinci – have made the pilgrimage to Steve Albini’s Electrical Audio Studios to share their twisted, obsessive tales of conspiracies and fringe beliefs with the brainwashed masses! Boasting a much tighter, heavier and more sinister sounding God Bullies. Released in 2024 via Reptilian Records, ‘As Above, So Below’ is a pivotal moment of celebration of noise. With the new roundup of shows lined up, God Bullies present their newest collection of material in the best shape and form.
In the official statement to the tour, Mike Hard says: "Grab your devil pitchforks and angel halos. God Bullies are back to bring the church to the people. Come party with the High Priest as he preaches to the choir while the band brings the brimstone and the hellfire. They sleep with snakes. They speak in tongues. As they paint a brand new face on the world's oldest profession".
