Peaches Sits Down with Johnny Franck of Bilmuri

April 9, 2026·8 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

Peaches chats with Johnny Franck of Bilmuri just in time for the release of their brand new album Kinda Hard, dropping tomorrow. Johnny talks about how Bilmuri has become one of the most unpredictable projects in modern rock, why he refuses to ever get “comfortable,” and how the band’s chaotic mix of heavy riffs, country twang, and pure meme energy is completely intentional. He also breaks down the insane behind-the-scenes story of “Always Let You Down” featuring Jeremy McKinnon of A Day to Remember, produced by Noah Sebastian of Bad Omens, and how the entire song basically happened by accident after a random run-in at the gym. Plus, Johnny explains the wild armored MMA knight fight scene from the music video, the disgusting reality of putting on someone else’s sweaty armor, and the panic-fueled “guitar solo audition” that helped shape “Where To Find Me.” Finally, he reflects on “Better Hell” being the moment everything exploded for Bilmuri, and what he wants every fan to feel walking out of a show.
