Spiritbox - Circle With Me - Courtney LaPlante - First Time Reaction

[@chriso6719]

Courtney LaPlante, and her husband, guitarist Mike Stringer, formed the band in 2017, in Victoria BC, Canada, after leaving their former band, Iwrestledabearonce. Zev Rose on drums since 2020. Josh Gilbert (ex As I Lay Dying) joined , on bass, as a touring member in 2022, made permanent in 2023. Multi genre band, including metalcore, alt metal, prog metal, and Djent. Courtney's screams are awesome. Most songs are a mix of clean and harsh, though some are all clean, and a few all harsh. 1 full album, and 4 EP's to date. For more, try, "Rule of nines", "Jaded", "Constance", "Holy Roller", "rotoscope", "Ultraviolet" ,and "Cellar Door".

Spiritbox is incredible! She’s such a beast. Holy Roller is another banger.

[@cameronmassey7544]

Welcome to the spiritbox rabbit hole. They have one hell of a catalog of music

[@RealLifeCoupleReact]

We can't wait to explore

[@bradkohl99]

Glad you guys enjoyed this. Mike and Courtney have been married since their stint playing in Iwrestledabearonce, before quitting and taking a bit of time off from music to figure out their next plan in the indistry. They started the band while living in Victoria, BC, Canada, they’re now living in LA. The band has had a few other people in and out the door, but currently features Josh on bass (previusly played in As I Lay Dying), and Zev on drums. Anything specific you wanna know, just ask. I’ve been friends with Mike, who plays guitar on the band, but also writes and records all the instrumentation.

[@timbo4973]

I saw them live and she's one of the best live vocalists I've ever heard in my life.

[@LostHate]

Spiritbox is awesome especially Courtney. You made the right choice doing the vocal one take version.

Hello guys ! Been watching and loving your journey through sleep token and funnily enough I’ve been thinking you guys should move onto Spiritbox next so here goes with my list of recommendations ! Can’t wait to see them !- BLESSED BE ( an absolute must ) , RULE OF NINES, HOLY ROLLER ( just to see how heavy they can fucking go ) SUN KILLER, YELLOWJACKET, CONSTANCE ( very sad, you’ve been warned ), HURT YOU, THE VOID, CELLAR DOOR ( again heavy as f*ck ), JADED. There we go ! In all honesty they’re worth checking out, especially the ‘ETERNAL BLUE’ album and also the MARA EFFECT LIVE 👍🏼 enjoy guys !

[@wickedPrints3256]

Courtney is the Queen of scream. Love them so much. You should check out Perennial by them. So many bangers.

[@THE_RYANN]

You guys should check out "Without a Whisper" by Invent Animate

[@TheGuanche88]

She's fucking incredible

[@macman1615]

Now you have liked this, if you haven’t already, please take a look at Arch Enemy with their song and official video of Handshake With Hell, and be stunned at Alissa’s vocals too, you will definitely enjoy 🤘

[@jaedo6180]

FYI, Band Maid just dropped Endless Story from the Yokohama show. Subtitles on and a box of tissues. It's the final song of the show!🙏✌️

[@paddyofurniture4681]

Oh and big news- the Warning will come to Japan and split the bill with Band Maid in June. Wish I could afford to fly to Japan.

[@Kodiak660]

Rule of nines, one take is amazing and the ending will put a smile on your face. 😊

[@jamiefitzpatrick3377]

100% THIS, been listening to spiritbox for a couple of years and this performance is still one of my favourites - Highly recommended!

[@freddiemossberg7204]

“I deed it” 😋

[@sasailicic]

Face Yourself/Arkona/Aghora/Triton Enigma/Dolia...5 female vocals

[@paddyofurniture4681]

Hope you have your tissues Belle the latest Band Maid drop is killer; Endless Story minutes ago

[@darrenchandler1997]

❤️❤️

[@NiamorH]

Check out The Mara Effect live at Silverside sound from them at some point. It is a long song (in 3 parts) but performance is worth it. Different from this pure metalcore synthy style, more proggressive.

[@alastairmcintyre4752]

Unleash The Archers ???

[@mikeconway9849]

Great reaction! IMO, this song had a good ratio of clean to harsh vococals

[@GeekFurious]

That face at 5:06 is pretty much what I felt like the first time I saw this. I couldn't understand how she was doing that.

[@jimronnysrlie8601]

Courtney's a queen. I think she's the metal equivalent to Lana Del Rey

[@-scrim]

Lana is garbage though, how does this make sense..? 💀

[@garygreene03yrzero]

Canadian

[@NZWozza]

Courtney is a monster vocalist. Your hitting up a lot of my female vocalists. Taiti from Jinjer, Floor from Nightwish - but there are so many still to come. Simone from Epica would be a good one. Epica fans are going to hate me for this recommendation as there are better Epica songs - but it is a great intro from Nightwish as Floor is a guest vocalist one this track. And Floor and Simone on the same stage is a serious cheat code. Also I heard you mention Opeth... Opeth, Jinjer and Epica have my favourite bass players (and incredible everything else). kzbin.info/www/bejne/mamVY4yrn5ehsMk Then you got Heilung, Eivor, Igorrr, Corpo-Mente, Portishead ect ect ect - but I will keep with the one song suggestion for this comment haha.

[@pmanning431]

Ist. 🤣

[@RealLifeCoupleReact]

hehe

[@metalmark1214]

I like her clean vocals, harsh, not as much. The band is originally from from Victoria British Columbia. Not many harsh vocalist I like. If you're into that than recommend - Arch Enemy - The Eagle Flies Alone (Music Video)

[@randalljones4370]

Would you like some scream with your coffee, mum?
