A single review charts God Bullies from mid-80s Michigan origins under vocalist Mike Hard to their dark, claustrophobic noise-punk sound. Early releases on Amphetamine Reptile led to a move to Alternative Tentacles. War on Everybody (1991) is praised as mature and seminal, with abrasive lyrics tackling sex, religion, death, and institutional power. Overshadowed by grunge and trends, the band later bowed out after the less inspired Kill the King.
