First Time Hearing: Knocked Loose (Suffocate w/ Poppy Live on Jimmy Kimmel) | Reaction

[@sodcapula]

In the wise words of Nik Nocturnal, "Lots of fun metal stuff right here"

[@ashlenamusic]

Truth

[@robertpetre9378]

Metal on the TV is the best

[@cameroncorrosive925]

It was a big moment for modern metal, we haven't had representation for years in the mainstream. I'm loving the vitriolic response from the people who have never hear of Knocked Loose, or listen to metal 🤣 This is too great for me.

[@vagrantender]

Brian hitting a humongous pig squeal on live tv will go down as a moment in time.

[@ashlenamusic]

For real!

[@legnaevar]

You'd probably really like Poppy's new album Negative Spaces. Real diverse sounds on that album and a good mix of lovely melodic singing and screaming.

That seems to be a common theme in the comments haha

[@BugCatcherDHawk]

Yeah, he's been growing on me the last few months.

[@GoodAlexanderVibes]

imo bryan's vocals are very raw, which is really cool to hear (coming from a very long time metal listener). Raw vocals like his drive the music so much more. They make the vibe so... dirty? i love bryan's vox

[@jaydenvaporwave1772]

Honestly idk why so many people were trippin. Even metal fans were like “there are more deserving bands that should have taken that spot” like dawg this is the only band who is making music this heavy and will probably pay homage to the bands you listen to who can play on this level. Metal fans worse enemies are themselves, y’all just need to appreciate that a band this heavy can get this popular in the first place. And like you said in this video people are gonna watch this and find out they like this type of music, people can’t appreciate nothin these days 😭

[@LiquidThunder12]

Bryan is the vocalist for Knocked Loose. His vocals are real harsh, not 100% for me, but very impressive and extremely powerful. That said, "Blinding Faith" is one of my favorite songs by them, and tons of people loved their latest album.

[@6FootVampire]

@@LiquidThunder12 his vocals are so good!!

[@ashlenamusic]

I’m definitely intrigued

[@its_Styx]

I used to not really enjoy Bryan's vocals but I have grown to appreciate more and more different genres of metal over the years and when deep in the willow and everything is quiet now dropped I was hooked ever since

[@nieldetomal405]

@@ashlenamusic this is hardcore show!!!!!!!!

[@dtpfeiffer]

Poppy actually approached them about the collab and they made this extra song after already having the album written. I'd recommend Don't Reach For Me, which is another single from this album. Interesting you brought up Billie because she was watching these guys sidestage at Coachella 2023. Getting to play there was a breakthrough opportunity for them. Now they have this concert and are nominated for a Grammy too.

I highly recommend reacting to Poppy's new album "Negative Spaces", I wasn't a Poppy fan but that's my #1 album of the year.

[@earthscorcher]

Highly recommend doing that whole album. It's incredible.

[@Pandamonium626]

If you're interested in more Knocked Loose I would recommend reacting to the video for their EP "A Tear In the Fabric of Life." It's about 20 mins and the official video is a continuous story with incredible visuals. It is a very intense experience but an amazing work of art.

[@alpinmack]

Oh yes, "Tear" with the video is a masterpiece. Their rhythm changes are ridiculous.

[@padon7052]

[@rafael_ernesto_77]

I can't remember all the bands and artists who sang in the show. But I do remember at least another mosh pit in the show. Maybe two, prior to Knocked Loose & Poppy. Great review!

[@ashlenamusic]

Thanks!

it got so much hate because the lead singer knew not to scream "fuck" live but poppy literally said fuck it and yelled it live on TV

[@magnetic_heart]

I also discovered Knocked Loose this year (via Nik Nocturnal) and fell hard for them. That entire album is so freaking good. It's very short, but that just lends to no songs feeling too long or like they don't really fit in. It's been my gym playlist for almost two months now. My favorites from it are actually two tracks, 05. Moss Covers All into 06. Take Me Home. They build such an amazingly earie tension and has some fantastic lyrics too!! Glad you enjoyed this performance and hope you fall for them like the rest of us did!!

[@davidwilcock2416]

I can't usually take constant screaming, but I enjoyed this album. The guardian gave it 5/5* and said it was amazing, so I thought I'd best give it a go. Cos it's my genre. Wasn't disappointed.

[@davisonsarai7763]

Love your reactions. Knocked Loose is easily my favorite modern hardcore band. Very authentic, authentically pissed, no perfectionism in writing/production/performance. Raw. Genuinely nice, humble guys. Look into Tear From The Fabric of Life, especially the video/film that goes with the entire ep. The next thing they released is a two song video, Which I think is the best stuff they've ever put up.

[@spinxz_314]

The energy at a knocked loose show or kublai khan show is just crazy!!

[@Aslanalali]

Poppy is so good

[@raquellydoesntsocialize]

Sister you’re gonna get HOOKED on this band. I discovered them earlier this year just before Sick New World and my bestie and I saw them live at House of Blues. Bryan is a fantastic vocalist and the band is beyond consistent with their live performances ✨

[@ashlenamusic]

Wicked!

[@NateTheSkate]

Definitely check out “Counting Worms” by them. That’s the one line track lol. Also , “Don’t Reach for me” is my favorite track off their latest album.

[@EYESORE-band]

Please listen to don’t reach for me it’s my favorite ever of theres. When I saw them live someone got hurt and they didn’t get to finish it sadly but that just means I have an EXSCUSE to see them again . Enjoy!!

[@the_eaglefan]

I love how while the lead singer takes the mic away from his mouth during the F-bombs Poppy said screw it and kept going.

[@ashlenamusic]

Hahahaha she is epic

[@EvelynnPlaysGuitar]

knocked loose is a great band, they have a 30 minute EP called ‘A Tear In The Fabric of Life’ and the music video is a stop motion film, it’s so amazing

[@glakson9772]

suffocate! dumps dududumps dududumps! love it

[@samcrorie]

The crowd was totally into it. I became a fan of Knocked Loose after Deep in the Willows. I wasn't a big fan of Bryan's vocals at first but it's grown on me. The fact that someone is demanding an apology.... Please. I'm bombarded by music I despise everywhere all the time. Deal or turn it off. That's what a remote control is for. I loved it.

[@smyers3423]

It took me several songs to digest Bryan’s vocals. I saw them live with BMTH and something about that live show really warmed me up to it. Their “Upon Loss” singles and then their newest album have been in CONSTANT rotation. I just love that a band has heavy and unique as them has played Coachella (iconic performance btw) and played live national television.

[@ashlenamusic]

I look forward to liking his vocals but as of now I’m unsure haha

[@smyers3423]

@ definitely not for everyone. My fiancé loves heavy stuff and appreciates KL but has had a really hard time warming up to his vocals. She really loved them on Slaughterhouse with Motionless in White. Definitely unique.

[@ashlenamusic]

We’ll see how it goes haha

[@ryanfrazier3781]

Not going to lie, it took me a few listens to get used to Brian's vocals but I'm definitely a fan after listening to "You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To". When I heard Knocked Loose was going to be on Jimmy Kimmel I thought someone was pulling a prank but I was not disappointed. I'd recommend a standalone single "Deep in the Willow", because it's got one of the best self-band name callouts I've ever heard.

[@ashlenamusic]

Ok that’s good to know!

[@lennysbennys824]

[@russianbubbawallace8681]

Their 2021 EP, "A Tear In The Fabric of Life" is their best work and has a full animated film to go with it. The whole EP tells a story that goes with the video. That is what got me hooked on this band and I would suggest you do the same

[@francesoxberry6816]

Hi again, I have been trying and will continue to try to vibe with this band. I also find his vocals very wail-y and grating so i think its taking me a bit of time. Absolutely love the dynamic of his pig squeal with Poppy's own banshee wails though. A very cool tv moment...and the satanic panic is just the icing on the cake tbh. Makes me feel young again.

[@xXxGR33NDR3AMSxXx]

Knocked Loose had Billie Eilish watch them from side stage at Coachella. Their "Laugh Tracks" was my person favorite album but I cant deny that they've only gotten better at their production and music abilities since then. People pretty regularly joke about Bryan's vocals and he knows it. He can do the fun "normal" vocals but he began doing his yell style screams to stand out

[@ashlenamusic]

I’m curious what his “normal” vocals sound like

[@bryanmillsBMfM]

There are a few bands that do the higher vocals, and I honestly feel like it comes of more genuinely angry sounding. Most Precious Blood, The Warriors, Walls of Jericho and others have nailed this vocal style to perfection.

[@theyurireviewer]

@@bryanmillsBMfM check out Connie from seeyouspacecowboy too

[@leanafus551]

Knocked Loose recommendations: • A Tear in the Fabric of Life EP in full and with the short film on KZbin!! They had an artist animate it all with stop motion and the music, the story that the ep tells, plus the visuals? It’s their best release ever in my opinion. It’s a journey for sure, in all the best ways. Some samples they originally had included as intros/outros for songs got claimed on Spotify so for the original intended experience I’d watch it on KZbin. It’s an emotional release to the band I’ve heard, as they’ve lost people in their life to a car crash- the music has a a heavy emotional feeling… it’s deep. But it’s incredible and worth it, regardless of a potential emotional response (depending on your life experiences). • “Mistakes Like Fractures” a simply great song 😂 • “Blinding Faith”- their first single from the newest album they released * “Deep in the Willow// Everything is Quiet Now”- two singles that tell their own collective narrative, but listening separately can still work. Once again, the music videos are extraordinarily good. All in all I hope you can get into this band despite the vocalist. It took me a while to get into them because of the vocals, but once I was in…. I’m never going back. Also! They’re a hoot to see live! It was so fun in the crowd- despite getting a bloody nose after the first song 😂😂

[@ashlenamusic]

Omg!!!! Hahaha you party animal

[@watadam1992]

The only weird thing I’ll say here is when I watched this live performance I had the exact opposite reaction of you. I was like “damn Bryan sounds pretty close to studio” and then Poppy came out and I was like “oof that’s a biiiit off”. Her banshee scream was dope tho. Either way, love everyone involved and it’s so massive for the core community. Awesome stuff and a really fun reaction.

[@ashlenamusic]

Appreciate it! And we all have our own opinion and that’s cool!

[@Awol_weetawd]

I can't believe people are mad at them while Jimmy has had metallica, megadeath, slayer, lamb of god and so many other heavier bands

Your reply is my exact reply to the Karen fb poster. The reality is, she has millions of years every night and they had to go look for upset viewers just a market controversy. It’s not really a problem, but it gets more eyes onto the band and onto the show so they’ll run with it all the time.Loves your reaction, NEW sub from Austin, Texas. Cheers.
