A banjo in metalcore? Bilmuri shares nearly 80 minutes live in Nashville, featuring Jeremy McKinnon (A Day To Remember) and several guests
THE STORY

Bilmuri has just posted its full concert at the Pinnacle in Nashville, recorded on May 13. Titled KINDA HARD LIVE IN NASHVILLE FULL SHOW (TURBO THICK EDITION), the nearly 80-minute film captures Johnny Franck and his band in action, with several guests and an exceptionally crisp mix.

If you've ever wondered what a blend of metalcore, pop and country would sound like, apparently Johnny Franck has too. And he turned it into a band.

The set includes TWICE, HARD2TELL, ROCK BOTTOM and MORE THAN HATE, for which a live video had already been released.

The former Attack Attack! member is joined by five musicians, including Gabi Rose on saxophone and Joe Compton on pedal steel and banjo. The arrangements are packed with distorted guitars, melodic choruses and instruments you don't often hear in this kind of music. And, somehow, it all works beautifully.

And since six musicians apparently weren't enough, Bilmuri also invited a few friends onstage. They include Jeremy McKinnon of A Day To Remember on ALWAYS LET YOU DOWN, Tyler Hubbard on WHERE TO FIND ME, Mitchell Tenpenny on ALL GAS, Dylan Marlowe on EMPTYHANDED and Knox on two songs.

The video was directed and edited by Ned Ingalls, with mixing and mastering handled by Will Carlson.

The concert is available on Bilmuri's official YouTube channel. The band is also offering a vinyl edition for preorder.
