#10. Spiritbox - No Loss, No Love
Title: No Loss, No Love
Artist: Spiritbox
Album: Tsunami Sea
In 2022, Spiritbox made their debut on the Countdown with "Sew Me Up" reaching #8, and have triumphantly returned to the Top 10 with their newest album, Tsunami Sea. This is far and away my favorite of Spiritbox's album offerings, and I had a difficult time picking between songs that were my favorite. Other standout tracks include "Black Rainbow", "Soft Spine", "Keep Sweet", "Tsunami Sea" and "Fata Morgana".
"No Loss, No Love" is split between vocalist Courtney LaPlante's clean singing along with a simple drum and keyboard backing, and Spiritbox's traditionally chaotic screaming guitars and LaPlante's harsh vocals. For my money, I don't think there's anyone in the business who can flip between both vocal styles and do them both justice like LaPlante does. This is easily the most insane song on a record full of chaos and oddity. Spiritbox has made a big name for themselves in a short period of time and they consistently back it with their frenetic style and LaPlante's outstanding delivery.
Favorite line: "Twist my face in a desolate smile. Taste the salt in my blood, There is a waste, I feel no sentiment... No loss, no love"
