So if that is the case, then 'bullied in' makes more sense: 'bullied into joining the band"
R+C suggests:
bully sb into doing sth : contraindre qn par la menace à faire qch
However, I think the term here is probably being used rather more lightly, so a mighter tone might be more suitable. So perhaps more along the lines of 'pousser' or 'insister pour que...', or stronger again, 'obliger'.
