Franck, along with Andrew Whiting, Nick White and Andrew Wetzel met Austin Carlile while playing in local high school bands when they decided to form Attack Attack!.[7] In November 2008, they released their debut studio album, Someday Came Suddenly, which featured Carlile on lead vocals, via Rise Records. The album debuted at number 193 on the Billboard 200, selling 3,600 copies in its first week.[8] They released their self-titled second studio album on June 8, 2010. The album peaked at number 27 on the Billboard 200.[9] On November 10, 2010, Johnny Franck announced his departure from the band to focus on his relationship with God.[10]

[edit]

In 2011, Franck formed a new group with Mike Caswell (K Será) called The March Ahead.[11] The group worked on demos with producer Joey Sturgis, who also worked with Attack Attack!.[3] They released their debut single, "I.R.T.S" on May 26, 2011.[12] Their self-titled debut EP was released on August 16.[13] In September 2013, the band made a performance at Liberty University, before Franck gave his testimony and fielded questions from the audience.[5] In 2014, they released a cover of One Direction's "Story of My Life".[14] In late 2014, the band premiered two new singles: "Creation" and "Statues".[15] Throughout 2015 to 2020, the band released a handful of non-album singles.[16]

2016–present: Bilmuri

Musical styles and influences

[edit]

Franck cited early influences from Enter Shikari and Forever the Sickest Kids. According to him, he loved how Enter Shikari combined dance music and hardcore breakdowns and wanted to incorporate that in Attack Attack!'s music.[33] He also added some Christian themes to the band's music before his departure.[34] Bilmuri has been described as post-hardcore[20] and neon pop-punk, with hardcore and emo music influences.[1] Bilmuri also incorporates lo-fi and indie-pop music.[4]

Personal life

He resides in Westerville, Ohio.[4] Regarding his departure from Attack Attack! Franck cited his desire to focus on his Christian faith.[10] He ran two Bible studies, one from his home and another at a high school.[5] He has subsequently expressed skepticism regarding Christianity.[35] Franck enjoys watching anime and cites it as inspiration for his music.[36]
