Spiritbox | Soft Spine, New Album Details, Grammy Nominations

[@Graveyard-Senpai]

Mr. And Mrs. Box. Love these guys! Cant wait to see them in San Francisco

[@moon5lut]

😂 I've never seen them called that, hilarious

[@Holy_Frakula]

Lmao

[@traceysketchit5248]

I'll be at the SF show too! So stoked

[@Graveyard-Senpai]

@traceysketchit5248 It'll be my first time at The Masonic. I got the VIP upgrade though I'm not sure what exactly all it entails. Looks like you just get coat check, access to the lounge, and you can get in early

[@levbuava]

Spiritbox is an amazing band, but the most important thing about them is that they are real! So real, that you can't help but love and respect them

[@vanhinz269]

What a great interview! Zach never interrupts people who he has on his show and I love that.

[@AlexPerez-ig8yd]

Her move to Canada is what made her to what she is today. Insane how life just happens and propels you without you even knowing it hahah

[@BoG_City]

Spiritbox just keep on growing and I love it! Courtney and Mike are also awesome people. I hope they win the Grammy, they deserve it (Knocked Loose also btw, some great nominees)

[@TheBrandonnnn]

They're probably gonna give it to Metallica again, lets be real. A great band like spiritbox has no chance. I'm honestly shocked the grammys would even recognize them to begin with

[@Mazdalution]

@@TheBrandonnnn it’s time they recognize other bands and give them a fair chance.

[@owenolson7970]

@@TheBrandonnnnhey how about u go away

[@BoG_City]

@@TheBrandonnnn I have hope, but yeah its probably going to be Metallica again. At least SB won a couple.of Nik Nocturnal 2024 awards, and since that is voted for by the community it has more value then some old out of touch people that work for an organization that barely knows what the Metal genre consists of

[@Magdalena8008s]

Two of my favorite bands nominated. Spiritbox and Knocked Loose. I hope Knocked Loose gets it. But yeah, its ridiculous that Metallica will probably get it.

[@GeekFurious]

"I wasn't like, 'Wow that 16 year old boy... sure gonna marry that guy!'" lol

[@Bloodlustian]

I saw these guys once in Stockholm with Thrown, Loathe and Architects. They are a phenomenal talent and Courtney is crushing it in a very male dominated space. Love seeing these little bits of candidness from her.

[@moon5lut]

As a fan of Spiritbox since their first single and a devotee of Courtney since the iwabo days 🧎🏼‍♀️ I enjoyed this interview so much, you guys asked great questions. I'm a big "lyrics person" and Courtney is such a brilliant lyricist. I loved hearing her talk about how she crafts a song with "the ingredients from the top shelf" and returning to lyrical themes from their existing material. That band is amazing, so happy for them. Can't wait for the new album + tour! 😍

[@isaflores5077]

Same! Glad to see another fan that’s been here since the beginning. I’m so happy to see how far she’s come since iwabo, so proud 😭❤️

[@RipleyE-we1hj]

Congratulations on your well-deserved Grammy nomination. This nearly 1 hour &1/2 interview flew by for me. I've been a fan since March 2020. Spiritbox is my #1 top artists on Spotify this year (again) and my top 5 songs are from them as well. I'm highly looking forward to the second album.

[@garcyuh]

ZACH SANG! I would have never thought Spiritbox would be on here! Amazing. I literally jumped with joy and smiled about this even happening.

[@mattanimation]

always enjoy an SB interview, real talk from real humans

[@ddmorgan666]

Their show in São Paulo was the most amazing thing I ever witnessed

[@meikkelsen]

spiritbox came into my life and made it better

[@SJHMX]

Loved them ever since I first heard Circle With Me, but going to see them live for the first time and hearing them play Missy Elliot and Eve before they came on stage sold me as a fan for life. Seeing a band that make music as undeniably heavy as they do talk so lovingly about being inspired by artists like Meg Thee Stallion in a scene that can be so anti music outside the genre is really special. Fantastic interview with a great insight into their creative process and personalities - can't wait for Tsunami Sea!

[@cshaun]

Great interview of two great people from a great band. I got into their music a couple years ago, and were the first band I saw live after my second kid was born. Been so happy to see their continued success. They are such authentic people, and i look forward to seeing them continue to grow.

[@jeffoulton4540]

Best newer band around. Their success is so well deserved, it’s a wonder they’re still relatively small considering their talent

[@The_resurrected1887]

That’s what she said

[@ZaryasBestFriend]

Zach is a great interviewer, and he does a wonderful job of listening and responding to Courtney and Mike in an authentic, affirming way.

[@syntezjaofficial4240]

Zach had such a great guests in last two months. Jacoby from Papa Roach, then Mike with Emily and now Spiritbox. This band along with other metalcore bands and Sleep Token gave me new hope in rock/metal music, Eternal Blue was a masterpiece and I can't wait for new album.

[@davidevans1306]

What an awesome interview! Thank you Zach for what you do! And thank you Spiritbox! I’m so happy for you all!

[@chriswescley]

It's funny to see Courtney talking about their show in Brazil like we were there only for BMTH. Girl, you don't even imagine how big Spiritbox is in Brazil Probably 60% of that stadium was there for SB too

[@filipgz3672]

Right? I travelled from chile to brazil to see them and BMTH. It was the best show i ever been to. TPIY and MIW were awesome too. Then i bumped into them at the airport and they were sooo nice to us

[@MrGuazevedo]

True, i was there to see them

[@Shaun-Clay]

For me this band is unique in the fact they don't have a bad song in their discography.

[@ConnerSpeed6]

I haven't been this excited for a new Album in a long time.

I was in this concert here in Brazil she mentioned, the stadium went crazy when they started playing Holly Roller, it was amazing seeing them live, I really hope they come back soon! 👍

[@Midgar777]

Such a good interview! Mike and Courtney are true artists, it’s so inspiring to hear how they write their music and lyrics. Lovely humans 😊

[@Avatarmariz]

Im very glad she mentioned brazil, i saw them on the show she mentioned, i was very happy to see spiritbox live, they were one of the reasons why i went to the show. Crazy that they traveled as soon as they left the show

[@filipgz3672]

I actually bumped into them at the airport the day after the show around 6pm. I was scanning my ticket right next to Courtney. Mike called her sweetie and my heart just fucking melted

[@RipleyE-we1hj]

Congratulations on the Grammy nomination. Love Spiritbox so much! This nearly 1 hour and a half interview flew by for me.

[@RooStefano]

Spiritbox, if you are reading this, please make a live album! Your songs are excellent in the studio, but I attended your concert in Brazil, and the live performance is INSANE. Everyone was talking about it, even those who don’t know you guys. Please come back!

[@moon5lut]

Agree! The live versions are so special..I think there has been a consensus among fans for awhile that the Circle with Me live one take is superior to the studio version lol. And the pro shot live videos they've been releasing are incredible. I literally just went and watched the Angel Eyes one again, I'm so obsessed with the crazy vocals she's hitting during that performance 🥵

[@Lillyfee2003]

Damn i agree a 100%!! I saw them in vienna as the opening act for the korn koncert and i was blown away😮‍💨ever since then i fell in love with the band and i would definitely buy a ticket for one of their live shows again when i get the occasion 🔝

[@filipgz3672]

Please!! They sound so good live. Saw them in brazil too. All the bands were amazing. Core memory like Oli said

[@stormwarning6219]

I finally know why the two new songs make me so emotional... ocean sounds. They always make me feel so much.

[@stg_tmc]

Can’t wait to see them in Vancouver!

[@Thiagots2br]

It was absolutely amazing to be able to see spiritbox live in the BMTH concert in Brazil! Hope you guys come soon

[@kotarahmusic]

Ok but Spiritbox being from my little island is so cool!

[@thunderjet644]

It really is!

[@Magdalena8008s]

This is dope. About time were seeing metal/hardcore get more mainstream attention. As much as I want Spiritbox to win the Grammy. They are up against Knocked Loose. And Knocked Loose is my favorite band at the time.

[@pallettown3358]

That's crazy Courtney was from Jacksonville, AL I am the same age as her and am from Jacksonville, and had no idea. Great interview

[@Lrory5982]

Such a wholesome episode! Courtney and Mike are the funniest people ever.

[@SpakManGtr]

This is the most unexpected but awesome guests.

[@AishaTurns2]

Ive loved Spirtibox and Megan since 2019

[@marcellaitso]

OMG SPIRITBOX IS MY FAV BAND RN IM SO HAPPY THEYRE GETTING BIGGER AND BIGGER!

[@TheMonster821]

Love spiritbox! Glad u had them on,this was great

[@CozyCardsQuest]

Their transformation over the years has been awesome to watch. Love the new stuff as much as the old prog stuff they were doing. Very catchy, heavy, emotional stuff. Also so glad that they saved Josh from having to cling to the sunken ship that is As I Lay Dying

[@noelia9556]

I love this band so much❤ thanks for the interview

[@MegaDeath22]

Courtney, you are everything I dreamed about being. A singer in a metalcore band. Life has its own 😂plans for me, but its been incredible to watch you and sing your songs in my shower and the car lol you were so amazing when we saw you in October, the whole band. I can't wait to see this next chapter and listen to your music.

[@richardjones38]

I had a ticket to see Spiritbox in Manchester, UK...... 2 days after they had to cancel the tour because of covid. I have to see them live one day. They're so good. Interesting that Mike is now writing the music with Courtney's input too, and Jinjer have apparently done the same think for the first time with Duel too, instead of just handing nearly finished songs to Tatiana to write lyrics for.

[@thunderjet644]

THEY MET EXACTLY 1 YEAR BEFORE MY BIRTHDAY. I WAS BORN JUNE 11th 2009, and im from the same island. wow

[@matthewrodriguez6104]

This band is so amazing! So excited to see how much they've grown and excited to see just how much more they'll grow in the future. All the well wishes!

[@fireby4070]

1:23:53 it can become an echo chamber - and the secret sauce is absorbing different art, interpreting it in your own way, and then using that to feedback into your own work in a new way

[@ggoudey-photo]

She is just so dang adorable.

[@rydarthur4485]

One word “Respect”🤘🤘🤘🔥

[@richardjones38]

I have no idea who this interviewer is, but he's very good. After watching the Linkin Park interview I looked up who else he'd interviewed, but I had heard of hardly any of them. But now Spiritbox too... maybe I will pay attention to this channel after all.

[@megggiezombie]

MOM AND DAD ❤❤❤

[@APOLLUMIKAKOS]

There couldn't be a bigger oxymoron for lack of a better word in the sense of how special music is and the many talented, some well-known, and many unknown artists in the industry. Then you have the Goliaths over top of it all, most of which are abusive predators holding something so special under lock and key! Hopefully, with current events, much of that is coming to an end, and we can totally transform the music industry into what it was always meant to be, and that's amazing from end to end! The Goliaths should be just as incredible characters as the very bottom of the scene.....

[@blankspace0000]

God they're so talented ❤❤❤

[@TheBrandonnnn]

Who is this dude and how does he get so many big names to come on his show? Also, I love how Mike is participating in the hair-color-scheme-matches-album-colors thing now!

[@joshwilliams565]

What a great interview. Can't wait to drive 4.5 hours to Iowa to finally see them on a headliner. Really looking forward to the new album as well. Eternal Blue and Tsunami Sea are two great album names.

[@brentcollins9727]

[@hectorguerrero6226]

Love this band! Best thing its happening in the metal scene

[@MrGuazevedo]

I was at the Spiritbox show in São Paulo and I think Courtney needs to stop diminishing her work, because what made me decide to spend what I spent to be there was essentialy to see spiritbox, and I'm sure from what I saw in the crowd that spiritbox helped a lot to fill that stadium. And i hope with all my heart that they don't take too long to get back to Brazil, because the show was amazing. And please someoner tell Courtney to not forget the beautiful T-shirt that she got during the concert. That shirt is simply one of the shirts of the best soccer team in Brazil. ⚫⚪ 🦅

[@jobananas3052]

It would be so sick if they performed Cellar Door at the Grammys.

[@GeekFurious]

Never happen. The Grammys only let Metallica perform because Lady Gaga was doing it with them. Otherwise, the organizers don't even think about metal except that they have to slot the ONE award in for their broadcast.

[@Mazdalution]

I love and adore spiritbox, espescially Courtney. She’s so talented and well spoken. 🥺🖤

[@jsavage71]

an hour into the interview courtney starts gushing about josh and it made me tear up.

[@moon5lut]

I was cracking up when she was talking about Mike saying he was going to bring Josh over while she was tracking and her absolute disdain for that idea 😂 and how they were going to take him on a date so she could grill him haha

[@cthree7792]

Been a fan of theirs for a while and even seen their headline tour last year but id never really learned much about them other than the wiki page. This was a good insight into them and how the tracks come about.
