Bully are back with the second single off their forthcoming sophomore album, Losing. The follow-up to 2015’s Feels Like, due out October 20th (via Sub Pop), was first previewed with the manic “Feel the Same”. Today, the CoSigned Nashville act is back with another candid pop-punk examination of mental wellness called “Running”.
“Overall, ‘Running’ is about shamelessly keeping yourself distracted or making up excuses to avoid processing certain emotions,” explains singer/songwriter Alicia Bognano. The verses may be melodic and mellow, but things quickly get to frantic once the bridge kicks in. “I struggle with being back in town/ Especially when you’re around and/ I struggle with being back in town/ It’s hard to do when you’re not around,” belts Bognano, admitting that she finds herself trapped between two opposing feelings. Take a listen below.
In addition to the new track, Bully have announced more dates for their upcoming tour. The new North American shows are scheduled for February and March 2018, and you can find the band’s complete itinerary below.
