First time I heard it I stg I thought it was the taco bell app on my phone and had to replay it 3 times to see if I was actually hearing what I thought I was😂😂 very funny vivid memory of mine.
Johnny from Bilmuri (IS Bilmuri) used to be in a band with Caleb Shomo from Beartooth, that band was Attack! Attack!. Also Corn Fed Yetis is featuring HARDY as well as Knox. HARDY is a country/metal artist/songwriter who's also made a song with Beartooth. The crossover is insane lol All Gas is featuring Mitchell Tenpenny who is on a song with HARDY, and Jon Langston. Jon Langston was featured on an ISSUES song and ISSUES' drummer plays on all the new Bilmuri stuff. The rabbit hole goes so deep 🤣
@@martinv.- He's actually featured on Yung N Dum, not the Langdon House. (That song doesn't have any features that I know of, and it's The LangDON House) Still crazy though!!
First time I came across Bilmuri, I was expecting some heavy metalcore based upon the logo, but the art itself was throwin me off and I was like dude these song names are hilarious. Then I heard the hog crankin song and I was like WHAT.mp4, this is nothing like I was expecting. The guitar was so like country-esque, the vocals are great with deep ass lyrics, and the Aperture science skit totally threw me off. I was like seriously WHAT is going on?? But its working and I'm LOVING it! Then he finished that shit off with the iconic Taco Bell ring??? Bruh that shit resonated with me and I had to know more. I've been getting in it deep at this point and loving every second of what Bilmuri has to offer, I just saw them live last night and the show was a BLAST! What a genius project.
Just discovered Bilmuri and I’m hooked. I was a fan of Attack Attack in high school and it’s so cool to see what Johnny has created with this project. Nothing else like it out there.
The thing that blows my mind is that the screamer on Corn Fed Yetis is Hardy who apparently is a country singer/songwriter who has written songs for Florida Georgia Line, Morgan Wallen and Blake Shelton. So cool that a guy like that would be on this song.
For Boutta Cashew and most of Bilmuri's recent work (Goblin Hours album) I'm pretty sure it's all Josh Manuel recording/writing acoustic drums. Phenomenal drummer with such good energy behind the kit!
Yeah, from what I understand, Goblin Hours and forward has all been Josh on drums. If memory (of social media comments/stories) serves, Goblin Hours itself was all recorded on acoustic kit. During those sessions, Josh and producer Will Carlson captured samples of the kit, which I believe were (and maybe still are?) available for purchase. As I understand it, everything since has been Josh tracking from home using his TD-50 and, primarily, the samples from the GH sessions. Between his touring schedule with Kane Brown, and other obligations, it sounds like tracking that way makes more sense with his availability.
Me and the wife absolutely love Bilmuri he should be waaaay more popular than he is. We live in Chicago and have driven all over to see him from grand rapids to Indianapolis to ohio to Louisville Kentucky to Philadelphia. Met him a few times and he is such a nice guy. I had to ask him "how do u write so many bangers?" (Im a musician myself) because he writes so many good feel good songs. Like if your having a bad day and you just play some Bilmuri it automatically makes you feel better. Not sure which musicians will be playing with him on the next tour but we eagerly await the next tour.
If it was the Grand rapids show this year, I was also there! And the Indy show. And his cinci show this year. This year I've seen him three times! I saw him twice last year in fort Wayne and Indy! I agree he needs to be WAY bigger. Hoping he tours again before the end of the year
I love Bilmuri so much hahaha. A gift to us all for sure! Welcome to the fandom - it's a wild place to be. Best album is Eggy Pocket, hands down! More nostalgic. If you want some more random songs, give the following a listen - postalmondclarity, liftheavystonemakesadheadvoicequiet, jackedandstackedmassmonster, and thicc thiccly ☺️
Love Bilmuri so so much!!!! Finding him was the biggest musical blessing I ever found! I love the humor in his titles, but the depth of his lyrics, and the music just hits perfectly!! I’ve always said on “livin Laughlin’ lovin” the sax solo at the end needs to be doubled, but without singing on the last two, “Hog” is Faqking amazing right!?!? I get joy from watching people experience this that kick drum always hit with his guitar strums so well and just gives the music so much power
The uncredited screamer in Corn-fed Yetis is the country singer Hardy. He also sings the final refrain, where you can hear some of the twang in his voice, especially on the word "alone"
You're probably picking up some of the "emo days" because John was the original front man for Attack Attack! I love Bilmuri and seeing people listen to his music for the first time!
It's hard to describe the genius of Bilmuri. But to give a little bit of my own thoughts. It's the upbeat, major tone, mixed with the chuggy undertones, the mixing is masterful. Then add the relatable, fairly dark and sad lyrics. In essence they dont match, but he makes them all work. Basically he has no box, but also has a sound that you hear and its recognizably HIM. No one can sound like him. Its post hardcore pop, mixed with jazz and metalcore and anything he wants to add. I recommend every LP and EP. Goblin Hours is still on repeat at least once a week. It's technically an EP but a pure masterpiece.
This is pretty much how I found Bilmuri. Drinking some tasty drinks, watched Corn-Fed Yetis and said how is this so good so I checked out more. Now I'm a major Bilhead
Great reactions. Honestly, they just keep getting better and better. I found him early COVID and have been obsessed ever since, but goblin hours and esp the singles he's put out afterwards....bilmuri is about to bust outta the stratosphere of greatest independent music of our time. The stuff he's putting out right now is already on par with the biggest and best talents in the industry with multi-million dollar labels and producers behind them. Catchy, polished, accessible, interesting, S tier hooks, leads, and mix.
Since you mentioned Beartooth and emo, Caleb (Beartooth's frontman) and Johnny (aka Bilmuri) are former bandmates from a band called Attack! Attack! (the corny/cringey Crabcore scene band), in which Caleb went from the band's keyboard player in their first album, to screamer the second album, to full frontman on their third and final album before their big breakup. Johnny was the band's rhythm guitarist and clean vocalist their first two albums.
I never said I disliked them. But there's no denying that Attack! Attack!'s quickest identifiers are indeed "cringey/corny and crabcore". It's like calling Ben Affleck "the dude who played Batman" and not "Oscar winning screenwriter and director".@@Doofunator
I always forget how much I like Bilmuri, if you liked Fluorideinthehardseltzerwater, check out the bands Dayseeker and Dance Gavin Dance. If you haven't already
HARDY is the third vocalist who screamed/sang on Corn Fed Yetis. He's a country artist who also had the vocalist of A Day to Remember on one of his songs (called Radio Song).
When I listen to Bilmuri I realize not every song is for me. Its an adventure, an extension of self and an appreciation for music, its timing, its balance as you say. Its a dance between different sounds and it doesnt restrain itself to fit one genre or another. His music incoprorates whatever the hell he feels and thinks would sound good to include country, RB, screamo, whimsical metal, hip hip, even a mix of latin drums in one of those songs and his music is like an experiment of the love of all music and thats what keeps me on my seat wondering whats next, even if it isnt my jam.
Late to the party here, but the dummer on Boutta Cashew is a live drummer -- Josh Manuel. And yeah, tasty is exactly the right word. He's absolutely built for this band, I'm so glad they brought him on.
There is something to be said for the arrangement of the songs. If you want to even get deeper, study the tone of the music and then study the lyrics lol.
Sorry for the 2nd comment came back to your video tho, when I first found Bilmuri, my sons mother had just left me , and I accidentally found his music and it was there for me through one of the darkest times of my life, and I’m in debt to Johnny forever, for this amazing music, once I heard “HOG” it was all over for me I never turned back, this is the short version of my comment lok
Found Bilmuri when looking up Johnny Franck he's done the production on some of of Crazy88s stuff their mix quality is out of this world ❤️so is this And Bilmuri IS this world😂 So amezeng so amezeeeenngg
This is my 3rd comment lol BUT wait til this dude finds out Bilmuri is the guitarist of Attack Attack and all the parts he put in that band perfectly predicts his musical talent in BM.
You mentioned Beartooth near the beginning, you may have seen this before but here's an old old video of caleb (beartooth) and johnny (bilmuri) in attack attack! at the studio. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bX1abvaUDlQ.html - imo attack attack and asking alexandria created the genre. My absolute favorites. and to see caleb and johnny continue to make the sickest music ever a decade and a half later is the coolest shit ever.
I once amde the mistake of watching the video for absolutelycrankingmymfinghog while trippin on acid and this reveiw reminded me of it. Absolutely not a good time
