God Bullies is an American noise rock band from Kalamazoo, Michigan. The band has had thirteen total members since its origin until present day with front man Mike Hard always at the helm. They were active from 1986 to 1995 and were on hiatus for a time. This lineup reunited in 2010 to coincide with the Amphetamine Reptile Records' 25th Anniversary concert.
Although God Bullies never found any mainstream success then, creepy anthems like "Let's Go To Hell", "Ordinary Man" and "Cemetery", paired with frontman Mike Hard's theatrical delivery and over-the-top stage antics, earned the band a large cult following. God Bullies toured extensively throughout the US and Europe with artists including Hole, Melvins, Helmet, Tar, Surgery, Cows and Helios Creed. The band released material with Alternative Tentacles and Sympathy For The Record Industry, but the bulk of their releases were with Minneapolis-based Amphetamine Reptile Records.
Soon after the 2010 AmRep 25th Reunion show, the God Bullies called it quits. Mike Hard went on to perform in several bands, Thrall, Hand Over Head, Brain Saw and Pig Harvest.
God Bullies have reformed as the new God Bullies with original frontman Mike Hard, Scott Kodrik and the members of the Detroit band Thrall. The new line up is Mike Hard (vocals), Scott Kodrik (guitars), Pat O’Harris (bass) and Cliff Carinci (drums). God Bullies recorded a new album at Steve Albini's Electrical Audio in April 2024 shortly before Albini's unexpected death. This was released October 4, 2024 on Reptilian Records. The album is titled As Above So Below.
