Nashville rockers Bully blast out of the gates on new single “Milkman” and never decelerate. The song, the A-side on Bully’s latest 7″, toes the line between lively pop-punk and crystalline indie-rock in an extremely attractive manner. Out front, longtime sound engineer Alicia Bognanno proves she’s at least as adept at emitting passionate outbursts as she is at recording them. The resulting melodic rager is nothing new, but it sounds incredibly fresh. Pump your fist to it below.

The “Milkman” b/w “Faceblind” 7″ is out now on Chicken Ranch. Buy it here. Bully are on tour with Drowners right now on their way to CMJ in New York next week, after which they’ll open for Kevin Drew on two upcoming Midwest dates:
