Spiritbox vocalist Courtney LaPlante has guested on a new song by pop-rockers Pvris.
LaPlante appears on a newly released re-recording of the American outfit's 2014 track My House, taken from the band's debut album White Noise. It precedes a White Noise 10th-anniversary tour of North America and Europe that starts in March.
Pvris singer Lyndsey Gunnulfsen comments: 'It was such an honour to have Courtney featured on this re-release. I didn't know until meeting her that White Noise was one of the inspirations to Spiritbox. After learning that and seeing the incredible world she's created from that inspiration, it feels full circle now, and it was only right to have her be a part of this re-release.
'The album first came out at a time when women were still extremely commoditised in the rock/alternative space, and the fight to be embraced and taken seriously, simply as artists, was even more prevalent than it still is today. 10 years later, there's been a lot of progress, but there's still much work to be done. It feels really healing and powerful to get to share this song with someone who I know has had much of that same experience and has been fighting that same battle just as long, if not longer.
'Not only is she an incredible person and performer, she has such a distinct and dialled vision with Spiritbox. The high standard of precision, artistic integrity, and vision, both sonically and visually, that she's brought into the rock/alternative scene with Spiritbox, I feel has set the bar so high, and to have done that as a woman in a scene still so heavily occupied by men, it feels like the most badass power move. Take notes everyone!'
The collaboration is far from the first pop team-up LaPlante has done. Spiritbox guested on an official rock remix of Megan Thee Stallion's Cobra in 2023. The band and the rapper then made an original song together, TYG, last year.
LaPlante has also championed other women in rock and metal, performing onstage with Jinjer's Tatiana Shmayluk, Poppy and Chelsea Wolfe, among others. In a recent interview at the Grammy Awards where LaPlante was confused for fellow Best Metal Performance nominee Poppy, she expressed her hopes for a woman to win the prize for the first time this year.
Though neither Spiritbox nor Poppy won a Grammy, her dream came true when opera singer Marina Viotti took it home, having been nominated with Gojira for the rendition of Ah! Ça Ira they performed at the 2024 Olympic Games opening ceremony.
Spiritbox will release their long-awaited second album Tsunami Sea next month. The band are also the cover stars on the new issue of Metal Hammer, where they talk all about the new album, their star collaborations and their journey so far.

Sneaky French Goose Makes Off With McDonald's Meal Like It's the Ultimate Prize
Sneaky French Goose Makes Off With McDonald's Meal Like It's the Ultimate Prize originally appeared on PetHelpful. Whether they care to admit it or not, just about everyone loves fast food. So, is it really any surprise that this is also true of our animal counterparts? Not really. And even in a place like France, which is renowned for its world-class fine dining culture, people, and as you will see in this video, animals, are not above enjoying the simple pleasures of a meal from American fast food titan McDonald's. However, we think that the French goose in this video more than just 'enjoys' McDonald's. Otherwise, why would he bother to steal someone's McDonald's meal and then try to get away with it like he just stole a Mega Millions winning lotto ticket? As this bizarre, and quite frankly, hilarious video shows, McDonald's is hard to resist. Deep in the suburbs of northern Paris, a man, Calvin Moreau, was just trying to enjoy his happy meal when he started recording a goose waddling towards him to seemingly investigate what was in his McDonald's to this video's comments section, Mr. Moreau attempted to talk to the bird in French as he grew suspicious that the bird had nefarious intentions regarding the contents of his McDonald's bag. According to the video, Mr. Moreau told the thieving bird, 'Stop that. Just because you're bigger doesn't mean you're smarter!' The next thing the Frenchmen knew, the bird had taken off with the paper McDonald's bag wrapped around their neck. This video had many people wondering: Can birds eat French fries? It's a good question. After all, these salty, delicious snacks are a favorite of many people all over the world. And a lot of people do enjoy feeding birds. So, why not give them French fries? Obviously, it's easy to give a bird a French fry, and it's just as easy for them to scarf it down. But is it actually good for them? The truth is, yes and no. French fries are not toxic to birds per se because they are mainly composed of carbohydrates and do contain some vitamins and minerals. However, French fries, especially McDonald's French fries, contain a lot of sodium and preservatives, which are detrimental to many animals', including birds, digestive systems. As such, if you see a bird approaching your bag of McDonald's, you should keep it away from them at all costs. Looking for more PetHelpful updates? Follow us on YouTube for more entertaining videos.

Ferris Bueller's iconic vest goes up for auction 40 years after famously skipping school
Few films have done more to cement the city of Chicago's reputation in American culture than 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off,' the 1986 teen comedy classic that follows Ferris and his two friends as they skip school in the suburbs to explore everything the Windy City has to offer. Now, 40 years after cameras first rolled, an iconic piece of the film's wardrobe is jumping off the screen and into one lucky fan's closet. Starting today, Sotheby's will be auctioning off the signature sweater vest worn in the film by Matthew Broderick, who starred as the teenage slacker Ferris. The vest is featured in some of the movie's most memorable scenes: Ferris electrifying the Von Steuben Day Parade audience with his performance of 'Twist and Shout,' the gang taking in a Cubs game at Wrigley Field and the trio making a trip through the Art Institute of Chicago. ''There are few costumes in Hollywood history that are instantly recognizable and this is undeniably one of them,' Darren Rovell, Emmy Award winner and the vest's owner, said in a statement. Rovell said that the piece has been not only photo matched to the vest seen on screen, but also has been inspected by costume designer Marilyn Vance before being made available to the public. The film was Vance's fourth collaboration with John Hughes, the man behind the Chicagoland-set classics, 'The Breakfast Club' and 'Pretty in Pink.' As the entire film takes place over the course of one day, Vance wanted to ensure each lead had a costume that told viewers everything they needed to know about the characters in just one look. Early on, she decided Ferris should wear a sweater vest, as Vance felt it would quickly demonstrate his disregard for the conformist style rules of the adult world of the decade. Her search for the perfect vest eventually led her to a Chicago institution: Marshall Field's. There, she picked up an off-the-rack cardigan, trimmed its sleeves and created one of cinema's most iconic looks. The vest manages to be retro, weird and cool all at once — perfect for the vision both Vance and Hughes had of the character. 'Bueller's vest is emblematic of the character's most exciting quality,' Sotheby's said in the statement, 'the ability to blend in anywhere, while standing out just enough to get exactly what you want from the world around you.' As Ferris Bueller turns 30, Northbrook invites the world to sit and look at his favorite water towerThe winner of the auction will go home with more than just the costume. Three pieces of baseball memorabilia are included: the baseball Ferris catches at Wrigley Field and tickets from both baseball games featured onscreen (though the scene takes place over a single game, footage from two games was used in the final film). A pair of movie tickets from the film's original run are also included: one from a Showplace Cinema and one from a theater in Japan. The bidding for the vest opens today, June 5 — the day Ferris himself left the suburbs and headed downtown, celebrated across the country as Ferris Bueller Day — and doesn't close until June 24.
