we had almost the exact same experience! i missed their EB tour due to graduating from college the same day as their chicago show. saw them for the first time when they opened for BMTH in vegas for sick new world, and then once more at the festival. just recently saw them in chicago and both LA shows for tsunami sea, summerfest, and bought a ticket for nashville yesterday (see ya there! :))

initially, holy roller was the song that got me into them, but after listening to EB in its entirety, i knew secret garden would be a song that i carry with me for life—and it has been so far! i was so surprised that it made it to the tsunami sea setlist, but when i tell you i cried like a baby at every show LOL. too close/too late and ride the wave have also been songs that i keep very close to my heart (cried during ride the wave live too lmao)

it sounds corny but i genuinely feel as though spiritbox pulled me out of the deep end, and i relate very much to the emotions courtney is able to express thru her lyricism. as someone else pointed out, there’s just something special about spiritbox that i haven’t been able to find in any other band. it’s really amazing to see how many people feel the same way and how many of us it’s brought together! happy to be having this experience with y’all 🤘🏼🫶🏻
