Feature Friday: Bury the Bully

Bury the Bully takes negative experiences and turns them into something positive:  they've mastered the alchemy of taking the disappointments and unfairness life throws at everyone and creating inspiring, positive music.  We've all been bullied at school or at work, and that common experience is the origin of the band name: Bury the Bully.  Sometimes the bullying makes us doubt ourselves and sometimes it can make us even more determined to achieve our goals.  Bully the Bully is the cheerleader for all of us, charging our drained batteries with their powerful, punk-influenced rock and making us hopeful with positive lyrics.

Hailing from Whitby, Ontario, Canada, Bury the Bully have already done what many bands dream about:  they've shared the stage with famous acts like A Simple Plan and they've played the Warped Tour.  Now, they're connecting with new fans worldwide on JamLegendBury the Bully tells us, "Our band thought this was such a cool way to enhance the online marketing angle for bands, not to mention a great way to interactive with fans and have bands songs celebrated through ‘playing’ them rather than just listening. "  They have found an open-minded, welcoming community in JamLegend players.  They even count Ryan, one of the JamLegend founders, as one of their dedicated fans and a new friend.  Bury the Bully add: "Over the course of the year, as we slowly put up a new song on JamLegend every couple months, we’ve had thousands of online hits and plays on our other websites (upon releasing a new song), not to mention multiple YouTube videos that can be found by searching our name, of fans posted their 100% Legendary scores and showing you how they got them. JamLegend has been a very exciting and interactive way for us to release our songs and keeps our fans (now friends) connected to our material as we continue to work on a new album."

Yes, a new album!  Bury the Bully is hard at work on their second album, which plan to record at the end of August in Toronto, Ontario.  Their first album Life Death & Wonder includes JamLegend hits like "Army of Love" and "For Only Me to Know," both racking up around 200,000 plays so far.  You can find out more about Bury the Bully on their official site as well as their MySpace and Facebook pages.  You can buy Life Death & Wonder on CD Baby as well as via the iTunes store.  If you are in Ontario, Canada, you can see Bury the Bully live:
