Spiritbox Debuts Soft Spine Performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live

Spiritbox made their U.S. late-night television debut with a powerful performance of "Soft Spine" on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on July 7, 2025, guest-hosted by Anthony Anderson. The Canadian metal band showcased one of their heaviest songs from their sophomore album, Tsunami Sea, which has been critically acclaimed and commercially successful, solidifying their status in modern heavy music. This appearance follows a breakthrough year for Spiritbox, including a sold-out North American tour, a European leg supporting Linkin Park, and collaborations with mainstream artists like Megan Thee Stallion. Their aggressive and intense performance style, especially vocalist Courtney LaPlante's fierce screams, was noted as a bold choice for network television. Spiritbox have upcoming live dates, including a performance at the Louder Than Life festival in Louisville, Kentucky, and a November U.S. tour with Periphery and Honey Revenge. Their growing mainstream presence highlights a continuing trend of metal acts gaining national television exposure in the U.S.
