Spiritbox have shared two new live tracks that will be available for less than 48 hours.
The Canadian metalcore heavyweights have released live versions of Fata Morgana and Perfect Soul, recorded during their February shows at London's Alexandra Palace and Paris' L'Olympia respectively, as part of a limited deluxe edition of new album Tsunami Sea.
Download Tsunami Sea: Live Bonus Edition, which features the songs, before the link expires on Thursday (March 13) at 11:59pm.
Spiritbox toured Europe in February and released Tsunami Sea on March 7. They released a video recording of Fata Morgana at Alexandra Palace on Tuesday (March 11). Watch it below.
Tsunami Sea was released to critical acclaim, including a glowing nine-out-of-10 review from Metal Hammer. Journalist Rich Hobson wrote: 'Tsunami Sea feels like the moment Spiritbox firmly step into their own as a band who could contend with the likes of Bring Me The Horizon and Sleep Token, as the next zeitgeist-setting act.'
Spiritbox were recently on the cover of Metal Hammer and talked extensively about the story behind Tsunami Sea. Vocalist Courtney LaPlante spoke about the band's insistence to evolve musically and not repeat themselves.
'Statistically, if I was to look at the song that broke us out, [2020 single] Holy Roller, it would be more financially stable to just continue only making that,' she said. 'I love an identity crisis, because it helps me not feel like I'm trapped in a box where I have to do this or that.'
She added: 'Each record is a small time capsule; maybe the next album will lean more into the melodic stuff or maybe we'll have more electronic sounds or whatever. I think it just comes down to whatever we're interested in at the time. And if that means that we're genre-less or we just are unpredictable in that way, so be it.'
Spiritbox will tour North America from April, but are set to return to the UK for Download festival in June. They will then support Linkin Park at London's 90,000-capacity Wembley Stadium on June 28.

Au revoir Pornhub! Adult site pulls out of France, sending users into a frenzy
Adult media giant Pornhub said au revoir to France Wednesday after fighting with its government over new age verification rules — sending the country of love into a frenzy. The law now requires users to upload a photo ID to access adult websites, instead of just clicking on a button that says they're 18. Critics argued there are less invasive ways to keep children out of porn. Advertisement 5 This is the image French visitors to Pornhub see since Wednesday. Obtained by the New York Post So in place of videos of porn, French users who visit Pornhub are now greeted by a topless Marianne — the symbolic representation of the republic's ideals of liberty, equality, and fraternity — and the phrase 'freedom doesn't have an off button.' And Frenchies are losing it. Advertisement 'Another attack on freedom. What's next?' raged Loire Valley resident Enguerran Richy on social media. 'And then we give lessons in democracy to other countries,' snarked Paris resident Maxime Fontanier. The famously libertine French were the second biggest Pornhub consumers last year – trailing only the US. 5 Many in France think the government is overreaching. Jack Forbes / NY Post Design Advertisement French President Emmanual Macron — who notoriously had an affair with his wife Brigitte when he was a 15-year-old schoolboy and she was his much older, married drama teacher — had been pushing hard for the law, arguing French boys get into porn at a young age. More than half of France's 12-year-old boys visit porn sites, according to an investigation released Tuesday by the country's regulatory authority for audiovisual and digital communications. Eva Hicks, who goes by the screen name Little Angel and was the top porn star on the site in France in 2024, says the move will just push adult content creators to post X-rated videos on social media instead. 5 Macron, who met now wife Brigitte when he was a 15-year-old schoolboy, was a big proponent of banning porn for minors. AFP via Getty Images Advertisement 'These are platforms accessible to minors, which is precisely the problem our government was trying to solve,' Hicks told The Post. 'There's a clear contradiction here.' 'Removing access to specialized platforms actually encourages the trivialization of pornography on mainstream social media.' 5 Hicks, known as Little Angel, was the top porn star on Pornhub in France in 2024. Little Angel/ Instagram Others found a fairly easy workaround. 'A VPN app and it'll be like they peed in the wind,' said Toulouse's Julien Carlot-Meunier. And he was right — it took a mere 30 minutes after Pornhub blocked access for one of the leading VPN providers to see sign-ups jump an astronomical 1,000%. 'This is more than when TikTok blocked Americans,' Proton VPN posted on X. The Canadian-owned porn conglomerate blasted the new government regulations as 'unreasonable, disproportionate and ineffective.' Advertisement 5 Hicks said the ban will just push many adult content creators to post on social media instead. Little Angel/ Instagram 'We built Proton VPN to help people in authoritarian countries with online censorship, an access gateway for porn was obviously not what we had in mind, but VPN can be used in this way,' a Proton spokesperson admitted to The Post. Meanwhile, French authorities — who engaged in a fiery exchange with Pornhub all week — were thrilled. 'Good riddance!' fumed French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot. Advertisement 'Less violent, degrading, and humiliating content accessible to minors in France. Goodbye!' ranted Equality Minister Aurore Bergé. The most searched term on the platform had been 'française' — the feminine version of the word French — meaning users were mostly interested in watching their own countrywomen in action. 'MILF,' 'mature woman' and 'woman with glasses' were also popular searches.

Canada's Triumph is celebrated on a 14-song tribute album
Canada's Triumph is celebrated on a 14-song tribute album originally appeared on Goldmine. Round Hill Records has released the double vinyl album Magic Power: All-Star Tribute to Triumph, with 14 songs from 14 rock vocalists, paying tribute to the Canadian band, produced by Mike Clink and mixed by John Spiker. VARIOUS ARTISTS Magic Power: All-Star Tribute to Triumph Round Hill Records (2-LP, CD, digital) Canada's Triumph began as a trio in 1975 with Rik Emmett on guitar and vocals, Mike Levine on bass and Gil Moore on drums and vocals. After four mid-to-late '70s singles in Canada, the group broke through in the U.S. with their fifth single, 1979's Top 40 debut 'Hold On.' Jeff Keith of Telsa delivers the encouraging lyrics and emotional bridge. Triumph's next single 'Lay It on the Line,' also from their third album 1979's Play the Game, charted in the Top 100 but failed to crack the Top 40. In his 2023 Goldmine interview Emmett shared, ''Hold On' received AM radio airplay, edited to make it shorter, and 'Lay It on the Line' received FM airplay, as AM wouldn't play something that heavy in those days. As a result of that, we became an FM AOR (Album Oriented Rock) band with RCA needing to promote our Just a Game album with FM AOR stations for it to become successful, and it worked, becoming our first gold album in the U.S.' Dee Snider of Twisted Sister brings his powerful voice to 'Lay It on the Line' joined by Kyle Glass and John Spiker on background vocals, electrifying guitar from Paul Gilbert, and thunderous drums from Victor Indrizzo. The title tune for this tribute album is 'Magic Power.' Emmett stated, ''Magic Power' has that pure Pete Townshend Who stuff. You can't copyright chord progressions, but in the classic rock canon, that chord progression pretty much belongs to Pete. Who's Next was a very formative album for me as a teenager in the 1970s, so I was tapping into that when coming up with 'Magic Power.'' Joey Belladonna of Tesla hits the high vocal notes, surrounded by strong guitar, bass, and drums from Justin Derrico, Todd Kerns, and Kenny Aronoff, respectively. 1981's 'Magic Power' was the first of three U.S. Top 100 singles for Triumph in the '80s, followed by 1985's 'Follow Your Heart,' performed here by Jack Blades of Night Ranger, along with a fluid lead guitar from Reb Beach of Whitesnake, Winger, and Black Swan. Triumph's highest charting U.S. hit was 'Somebody's Out There,' which reached No. 27 in 1986, the year that Rick Sanders joined Triumph on keyboards. The song is performed by keyboardist and vocalist Lawrence Gowan, who had a Canadian radio hit the following year with 'Moonlight Desires,' joined by Yes' Jon Anderson on harmony vocals. Gowan is currently on tour with Styx, who he joined in 1999. On this new recording, Dave Amato's guitar helps to propel the track. Jason Scheff, who was a key member of the band Chicago from 1985 through 2016, heard on the Top 10 hits 'Will You Still Love Me?,' 'I Don't Want to Live Without Your Love,' 'Look Away,' 'You're Not Alone,' and one he co-wrote, 'What Kind of Man Would I Be?,' sings 'Just One Night.' Scheff's recognizable voice shines, 'hold on to love just one night.' Phil X, who joined Triumph in 1992, is heard on guitar. Scheff is currently on the Lead Singers of Classic Rock tour with Tommy DeCarlo, the most recent lead singer for the band Boston, along with members of Dennis DeYoung's band. Scheff told Goldmine that there will be more dates to be added to the tour. 'Never Surrender' is performed by Deen Castronovo, the drummer for Bad English and now Journey. Castronovo enthusiastically told Goldmine, 'Never surrender was one of the coolest songs that Triumph recorded! It was totally different from the music they had previously written. Had it not been for Triumph's Gil Moore singing and drumming, there would be no singing and drumming Deen Castronovo! Also, Rik's vocals on that song are astronomically high. I was given a shot after Jason Scheff recommended me for the project. It was not an easy feat by any stretch, but I did my best and hope that the listeners will like how it came out!' Castronovo's high vocal notes and rasp recall Rod Stewart's most powerful moments, focusing on his voice while Brooks Wackerman handles drum duties on this funky number. 'Had it not been for Triumph's Gil Moore singing and drumming, there would be no singing and drumming Deen Castronovo!' – Deen Castronovo of Journey Emmett stated, ''Fight the Good Fight' started out as a folk song. I sat with an acoustic guitar to write the tune.' Heart's Nancy Wilson, who was a Canadian resident in the early days of Heart and Triumph, engagingly sings, 'I keep my magic in my heart,' joined by a haunting guitar from Mason Stoors and steady drums from Tony Braunegel. Wilson provides her own harmony vocals, recalling the warmth of Heart's 1976 debut album Dreamboat Annie. Another stellar female vocalist heard on this tribute album is Maiah Wynne performing 'Blinding Light Show' with her band Envy of None, who have the Canadian classic rock nucleus of Rush's Alex Lifeson on guitar and Coney Hatch's Andy Curran on bass, and have just released their sophomore album Stygian Waves. In the Goldmine Spring 2025 issue, Lifeson shared, 'Maiah was 19 when we started out with her, and she's what, 27 now? She's brilliant, bordering on genius at times. She's really evolved and matured a lot as a singer, lyricist, and songwriter. She's just amazing.'

Do West Fest takes over stretch of west end street in Toronto
A festival that bills itself as "Toronto's start to the summer" has taken over a stretch of a major west end street this weekend. Now in its 12th year, Do West Fest celebrates the rich culture of the city's Little Portugal neighbourhood. Sixteen blocks are closed to traffic across Dundas Street W. between Lansdowne Avenue and Shaw Street. The streets are now filled with food trucks and local vendors instead of cars. Organizers have set up three music stages — Lulaworld, Community and Transmit Presents — throughout the festival. "All of them bring a bit of a different flavor," Kristyn Gelfand, the event's lead producer told CBC Toronto on Friday. "Lulaworld has bands from as far away as Ecuador and Brazil. The Community Stage is programmed hyper-locally, so all the artists on that stage have a direct connection to this neighbourhood, whether they live or work or rehearse in this right here on Dundas," Gelfand said.. "And then [there's] the Transmit Stage, which brings in the best of Canadian indie rock from all across the country." The festival will wrap up at 6 pm. on Saturday, but road closures on Dundas Street W. will stay in effect until midnight.
