Bully Hay

Jonathon Coleman (Bully Hay)

Sixth-generation Tasmanian musician Jonathon Coleman writes and records under the name Bully Hay — an Australian  alternative rock project built on contrast: dark yet hopeful, gritty yet melodic.

Following his 2024 debut Black Dogs and Songbirds — an 11-track release produced, recorded and mixed by Jeff Martin of The Tea Party and mastered by Grammy-nominated Joe Carra — Coleman now enters a defining new chapter with his upcoming album, Anywhere But Here.

Raw, heartfelt and unfiltered, Anywhere But Here captures the chaos of trying to keep your head above water while quietly being pulled beneath the undertow. Exploring the tension between survival and surrender, the album blends 80s-tinged atmosphere with modern alt-rock punch — driving guitars, cinematic textures and anthemic choruses designed to hit hard. The songwriting is direct and deeply human, written for late nights, long drives and anyone fighting to become something more.
