Bully’s “Feels Like”, and the Reclaiming of Female Rage

By Jessi Roti

You would think by 2015, a woman’s complete spectrum of human emotion wouldn’t be an anomaly. Nope. Women are always expected to find the silver lining, to carry the weight and be deemed a survivor, waiting for another woman to come and carry the torch. But even the most independent women, the most successful, female artists eventually do (and become even more famous for) what’s expected of them.

There have been cases of success in spite of this mainstream hunger for the perfect, female artist: Alanis Morrisette, Courtney Love, Kathleen Hanna, Grace Jones, but they are few and far between. More importantly, they are boxed up and discounted for their rage after the initial “tantrum” is over. Because no one wants to deal with what’s left over after the break-up or the meltdown, especially when it’s central to a woman’s experience.

Maybe Taylor Swift has risen above this, but her glossy pop isn’t angry as it is “sassy” –a behavior associated with women (often misused as a synonym for “catty”), and her lyrics always include moving on the next one, because for Taylor Swift there’s a better chance of “the next one” already standing in line.

So what’s left after you get bored of the next one? Bored of the sassy pop song? Grow tired of trying to gloss over simply being pissed off with a catchy, pop anthem? You get angry and you’re allowed to get angry.

Case in point, Nashville quartet Bully and the unrelenting rage that boils over on their debut LP, Feels Like. Squealing with frenetic guitars, the album opener “I Remember” features frontwoman and guitarist Alicia Bognanno’s raspy howl tearing down any expectations of femininity or the genre female has become as opposed to the gender. What I mean by female as a genre is the idea that a woman’s anger targets a niche market, that it’s disposable and becomes invalid as soon as a boy or individual performing masculinity comes along to do it “better.”

Across ten tracks, Bognanno unleashes a fury that is both soft and hard, but direct the whole way through. This isn’t the bombastic rage that Alanis Morrisette threw in your face in 1995 on Jagged Little Pill, or the “If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em, and fuck ‘em along the way” aggression Courtney Love built Hole around. This is a rage slowly bubbling over, a rage steeped in being tired, LIKE SO OVER IT. Even after those Hole, Alanis Morrisette, L7, Bikini Kill, etc. records –the boys, the ones adopting the masculine role, haven’t learned. This is ultimatum rage –shape up or ship out. A kiss-off to those who will never learn and a letter never sent from the ones who are sick of being emotionally drained by them.

Men aren’t writing songs about women lacking emotional depth, instead that notch on the spectrum of human emotion is used against us –and we’re pissed. Billing “emotions for two” to one person is a toxic manipulation, a way to keep the feminized partner in check. Not to say the feminized partner is never at fault. Bully explores this on the song, “Trying” with Bognanno hurling her bad habits into her own face, but dealing with them nonetheless. Because refusing to find your way out of a box you put yourself in is almost worse than finding the way out of a box someone else put you in.

Feels Like is both a confession and a denial, a bag of burden shouldered by a woman just trying to figure it out without putting blame on anyone in particular, but calling out all participants’ actions. On “Trash,” Bognanno declares, “I know I’m not a child and this is unacceptable” while on “Picture” she opposes, daring to say she actually “hates” having her picture taken, as if to say “Stop taking photos of me, trying to manipulate my image into something it’s not, something that you want.” Like when a stranger tells a woman she’s so pretty, why doesn’t she smile? It’s 2015, I didn’t know women were still meant to aspire to the “Stepford Wife” syndrome.

What Alicia Bognanno has written reflects the female experience of today while acknowledging that the work that’s been done wasn’t enough. Female rage, the idea of the “angry, female singer-songwriter” is sold and branded as a fleeting commodity, a show for those deeming her anger as a “passing fad.” It’ll go away when she finds the right man, or the right job, or is at the end of her menstrual cycle. That’s not real.

On “Milkman,” Bognanno��s vocals erupt through the speakers as her drawl cracks around the lyrics, “I used to be shy” shouted over and over again. Keyword: used. Embrace the past by letting your rage free you for the future and don’t let anyone tell you that you have to wait for someone or something else to make it better. Let Bully’s sonic waves rush over your weary soul because when it feels like the world is crashing around you and you just want to scream, it might be the quickest way to getting back up on your feet.

Great fun seeing one of the all time greats-the legendary editor-in-chief Bonnie Fuller at the Digital Hollywood Media Summit 2018 in NYC-and talking Texas politics. I had the pleasure of working for her twice (Marie Claire & Cosmopolitan) and her hollywoodlife.com by Bonnie Fuller is great fun and of course she gets tons of exclusives! . . . #digitalhollywood #cesliearmstrong #contentisqueen #bonniefuller #hollywoodlife #editorslife #womeninmedia #womeninbusiness — view on Instagram http://bit.ly/2JGGeWq
