Overall, the composition of each track seem genuine, cared for, and somehow nostalgic.

Features from Dayseeker and Jon Mess (Dance Gavin Dance) on “FLUORIDEINTHEHARDSELTZERWATER” make it apparent that his connections within the scene have not prevented Bilmuri from exploring new territory within the genre(s). EGGY POCKET also has strong hooks that feel familiar but evolved, although they are not the most groundbreaking aspects of the music.

The album is full of callbacks to screamo and gave me flashbacks to the days of Attack Attack! while tying it together with prevailing trends in 2020 hardcore. Tracks like “ABSOLUTELYCRANKINMYMF'INHOG” and “POSTALMONDCLARITY” incorporate current hardcore and prog-metal elements while sprinkling in slivers of jazz, trap, glitch, ambient and even western. There are elements of the hardcore/scene culture that Franck is familiar with, while enveloping his own quirkiness into it. With this in mind, I embarked on a journey into the weird and crunchy mind of Franck and his current vision of the growth of music style that he had been involved with for the better part of a decade.ĭoes EGGY POCKET deliver on his promise to differentiate and separate from the predictable and overdone? Well, mostly. In a Youtube video, Franck spoke about the music scene (primarily addressing the hardcore/scene section of music) and how it has become stale and generic, relying on predictable breakdowns and basic chord progression which left the listener knowing what they are going to hear before they even hear it. The song, aptly titled “ABSOLUTELYCRANKINMYMF'INHOG” fully embraced the deep-fried pocket of the internet and brought a legitimate anthem for this group of people, and left me curious to hear more. This all changed when I saw a post on r/THE_PACK promoting a new song from a recognizable face from my past. However, lineup changes, including the departure of Franck, marked the point in time where I drifted away from the band and lost track of the members' endeavors. I had been a fan of the band in high school at the height of their popularity, basking in their crabcore glory. It is hard to describe in words the type of environment this subreddit is, however it is where I was introduced to Bilmuri, or should I say re-introduced.īilmuri, aka Johnny Franck, was a member of a band that I haven't listened to in almost a decade: Attack Attack!. It is an obscure corner of the site dedicated to over-the-top masculinity with a mix of satire and a dash of surreal, mostly centered around mixing “edgy” art with ridiculous meme text. If you have ever been on Reddit, you may have heard of “r/THE_PACK”. Review Summary: EGGY POCKET is scrambled and yokey, but not burnt or runny.
