Hard Feelings, Soft Brass: Bilmuri
Bilmuri is the solo vision of Johnny Franck, once the clean singer of Attack Attack!, now folding pop melody into post-hardcore grit. He built the project in bedrooms and small studios, then turned it into a flexible live unit with rotating friends and a punchy horn section.
Bedroom-born, stage-tough.
This Kinda Hard run leans into the heavier side while keeping the sugar-high hooks that make the pits feel like a singalong. Expect anchors like myfeelingshavefeelings and THICC THICCLY, with a couple of newer bruisers and a brass-led breather mid-set. Crowds skew mixed: hardcore kids two-stepping next to pop fans, a few jazz band alumni geeking out over the sax lines, and plenty of DIY merch makers.Hooks, horns, and heat.
Lesser-known note: early Bilmuri tracks often featured Johnny playing nearly everything, and the live horn parts were arranged after the fact to mirror stacked vocal lines. Another quirk: he sometimes teases quick one-minute interludes to reset the room before a drop. Note: setlist choices and staging notes here are inferred from recent runs and could shift by venue or mood.Cow Prints and Chorus Shouts: Bilmuri's Scene
The room feels DIY but welcoming, with color-block hoodies, workwear pants, and thrifted band tees standing next to bright horn-section shirts. You will see cow or egg motifs on jackets and caps, a nod to the project's tongue-in-cheek art era.
Style with a wink.
Between songs, fans trade quick in-jokes and chant short hooks that show up in the gang-vocal sections. Pits open and close fast, and plenty of people dance in place when the groove flips from stomp to sway. Merch leans playful and limited, with enamel pins, bold fonts, and a couple of oddball colorways that sell out early.Shared jokes, shared choruses.
Older metalcore heads mix easily with newer pop-leaning fans, and both groups tend to sing harmonies, not just the top line. It reads less like a test of toughness and more like a rolling meetup for people who like heavy songs with bright edges.Riffs, Reeds, and Resolve: Bilmuri's Live Build
Bilmuri shows stack glossy clean vocals over gritty shouts, then glue them with guitars that chug and bounce instead of only bludgeon. The horns do not just decorate; they double hooks or answer the vocal lines so the riffs feel bigger without getting muddy.
Heavy bones, glossy skin.
Guitars are tuned low, often down to a deep drop setting, which lets the horns and keys carry bright counter-melodies on top. Drums flip between driving two-step and roomy half-time to reset tension before a chorus hits hard. A common live tweak is stretching a bridge so the band can drop to voices and brass, then slam back with a staccato riff.Tiny tweaks, big payoff.
Lighting tends to follow the arrangement, with warm washes for melodic turns and tight strobe punctuation on stops, keeping focus on the music first. The result is a set that breathes, trading impact and air so the heavy stays heavy and the sweet parts stick.Kindred Noise, Kindred Joy: Bilmuri and Friends
Fans of Dayseeker will recognize the mix of emotive vocals and weighty modern rock that Bilmuri taps into. If bright choruses over groove-heavy guitars is your lane, The Home Team hits a similar sweet spot.
