Rule of Nines and Holy Roller are absolute bangers

[@ArturoGarcia007]

@Filip Nikolic man all their songs are fire. mara effects part 1-3, perrennial, belcarra, blessed be, rule of nines, holy roller SUPER HYPED for their debut LP

[@potatotactics1398]

@@ArturoGarcia007 Dude any time I hear any of their songs I want to listen to it again and again and again. This is a top tier band

@old gooseberry I know u just joking, but if you ever need help message me @potato_tactics on insta or potato.tactics on snap. Most people are just joking but I know people who I thought were just joking about this kind of stuff and then found out they weren't. Sorry to ruin your joke if that's really all it is

I literally haven't heard a Spiritbox song I didn't like

literally my three favorite bands, calling me out

[@wtfsamra]

OMG the fact that she hasn't even formally trained in vocal coaching and sounds as amazing as she does is insane. Also it makes so much sense that they're big deftones fans, the music definitely gives off that dark, ethereal yet heavy vibe. This band is going places!!

[@digitalmouse3314]

Yeah they will touring with Ghost, the fans will love them for sure.

[@horror-core]

Spiritbox is literally one of the absolute best bands around, and I'm not some fan girl just kissing ass either. They're brilliant, and have a bind and magic that no other band has. The strings blow your mind with Courtney's beautiful voice, then the breakdown hits and it's a whole other Courtney, and it's great! They have the kind of breakdowns that make me wanna drop kick my wall! I really hope US gets the honor of seeing you live in 2021. Don't EVER change guys. You're perfect. 🤘💥💯

Country LaPlante is amazing! Shes's so authentic and it's first studio treated songs while she's kept learning and singing and screaming more. I will do anything to help the band or expanded out to Northern America.

[@Bravo_Kilo_Kilo]

She is a beast! Her vocals are insane! Such a hidden gem. The band deserves more attention.

[@bluBlaq33]

I have been waiting for a rock band of this magnitude for a very very very long time. This is definitely one of the greatest bands of this decade.

Holy roller ft Ryo is the real deal now .... i Wasn't even expecting that this song could still get heavier...

[@aaron5222]

Might be the minority but the original is heavier to me. But both are absolutely amazing

[@potatotactics1398]

@@aaron5222 I like both, but Courtney's voice is clearer to me. She is very good at providing aggression while still being extremely clear. So I too prefer the original, but both are fantastic

Honestly, I too never needed the feature, but Ryo absolutely killed it.

I don’t know how I’d not heard of this band until about a week ago but damn, they are superb! This woman who seems so humble and nice in this video is a force of nature when she roars and her clean voice is damned near angelic - crazy dichotomy! I wish them massive success!

[@bonesjr83]

RULE OF NINES IS BADASS!!!!!!’ Hear it almost every day

[@MrChris-so6lg]

Just have to say, that song Constance y’all wrote is probably the most amazing song ever. Thanks from the bottom of my heart

[@joemessina7720]

I listen to Constance 10x a day - so fresh

[@millennial_falcon2240]

Been a fan since I heard Blessed Be on Liquid Metal. Instantly knew you guys would blow up. Then Holy Roller hit and it blew my already high expectations out of the water. Now here we are a few days after Eternal Blue released. Absolutely amazing album. 💙

[@whiteowlmassacre4907]

So hyped you guys are getting so much recognition. Couldn't have happened to better people!

[@PaulGPixelBike]

Almost 30 minutes of Courtney explaining how ferry works and what's an island. Dude can't google Victoria, Vancouver Island, holy shit. That cracked me up.

[@jeffmitchell831]

That’s so rad that you guys are married and in band together. That’s cool you guys get to share your lives that way. 🤟

[@_SaraZ]

It fills me with good vibes that one of my favorite bands is so damn wholesome.

[@DianaturalBey13]

This is the first time I've been able to see Jose. He looks like a metal version of Richard Grieco. Very cute! And Courtney, you have the best female singing voice I've ever heard. I'm almost 40 years old now. It took this long to hear a voice so beautiful. Keep up the awesome work.

[@atlantis4156]

Who the f.. could dislike this?? I mean WHY?! Courtney is a Metal Goddess and Spiritbox is more than music, its pure ART. 👏🏼👏🏼❤❤

[@ruleofnines9331]

So down to earth & just good good people. Great interview🖤 I wish Spiritbox nothing but continued success!

i had to listen to all 3 mara's about 15 times and yes - # 3 the fav

[@Jermz710]

I would of never know about this band without buying a new car a couple weeks ago and getting XM radio free month and LIQUID METAL was playing spiritbox / Constance and was immediately hooked

[@jaymzhetfield6001]

Keep the subscription up. Octane and Liquid Metal are a way of life.

[@brianbrown4679]

So stoked to hear you on SXM. I was just thinking a few days ago how stagnant my music library has become and new albums from my favorite bands weren't really doing it for me anymore. I was worried all new music was going to have the same effect on me, but then I listened to Rule of Nines and Holy Roller and I'M FIRED UP!! Thanks for the kick ass tunes!!

[@GhostCultMag]

So happy for you all. Fans since day one! Thanks for our interview also! 🤜🏾💥🤘🏾

It's incredible to admit right now that, even though they are getting the hype they deserve right now, this 44 year old metalhead from a tiny island too, (named Dominican Republic) is telling you that Courtney and Tatiana are the rightful owners of the metal throne reserved for Queens only!

[@tomasguerrero905]

I also agree that it's a shame that Holly Roller is the responsible for them to getting the attention they deserve, and not other songs that are just more out of this world kind of songs, especially the Mara Effect live at the studio. Those 15 minutes is like a perfect trip to a perfect metal heaven, where you reach your Nirvana state! But radio is like that! Usually are the more commercial stuff that gets you out there. Do not get wrong, I love every Spiritbox song the same...it's just that there are specific songs that are more magical and complex, that truly show the full capacity of ridiculous outrageous talent to make the most dark, heavy and beautiful metal these ears have heard in his life, but that's just me

[@potatotactics1398]

So Courtney is actually 31 & American. Google lists her as being 25 & being born 2/26/95 in Victoria, Canada. Guess Dr. Google isn't so all knowingly accurate after all. 31 actually makes sense because developing the caliber of voice like she has takes time. Look at Tatiana as well (33). Same thing. It's not an overnight success to have what these women have accomplished thru dedication to their craft.
