​

"You NEED to hear this band!"

MusoMuso (UK)

​

"A unique and haunting type of gloomy rock."

The Other Side Reviews (GER)

​

"SPIRITBOX broods in hanging and other-worldly lyrics,

beaten to a pulp with crushing and meaningful guitar twisted rock."

ComeHereFloyd Music Blog (USA)

​

“'Milk' is one of those full-lengths you want to spin over and over again

Some of their twists and turns go beyond comprehension.

Marvelous debut material: don’t miss out on this gem."

ThoughtsWordsAction Music Blog (SRB)

 

“The dark lyrical style of the album really helps portray

'Milk' as a powerful unique album (...)

You should definitely listen to this incredible, haunting album.” 

IndieX Music (UK)

​

"Dense and disturbing musical layers, 

deep emotions and an almost cinematic identity."

R+ Music Blog (MEX)

​

"I would definitely recommend you go

and give these guys a listen.”

John's Music Hub (UK)

​

"The captivating 'Doris' visual is a fitting companion

to the mellow and guitar driven song."

Dopecausewesaid (USA)

 

"Listening to ‘A Strange Loss’ is like being immersed in a piece

of performance art, or a brooding play (...)

Both vocals are remarkable and make for a beautiful blend

when they do join together for parallel moments of reflection."

Indie Top 39 (UK)

​

"Sombre, bleak, sophisticated, elegant, lush and cinematic."

Tinnitist (CAN)
 

"Brooding, melancholic, dreamy, mournful guitar melodies."

LAmusiccritic / Indie Voice Blog (USA)

"SPIRITBOX is one of those acts with the gift of creating

incredibly emotional tracks that seem to be destined

to become part of a movie soundtrack"

YMX MusicBlog (UK)

 

"Their music style is very impressive and distinctive."

Yellow & Black (USA)

​

"SPIRITBOX creates a simply stunning sound."

FVMusicBlog (UK)

​

"(...)The sounds are raw, yet elegantly wrought with stalking bass lines,

acoustic strains, sustaining lead lines snaking around an evocative lead

vocal telling stories like a carnival provocateur (...)"

American Pancake (USA)

​

"Met een flinke spanningsboog, een ronkende partij gitaren

en dreigende drumritmes wordt er in 'We Skinned a Ghost'

opgebouwd naar een furieus einde."

NeverMindTheHype (NL)

​

"SPIRITBOX kruipt diep onder je huid."

3voor12/Breda (NL)
