Falling In Reverse frontman Ronnie Radke has publicly criticized Spiritbox’s new album and called out Bring Me The Horizon’s Oli Sykes on X (formerly Twitter).
“Album [Spiritbox’s new album ‘Tsunami Sea’] is f—king unlistenable mixed horribly and song writing is terrible,” Radke stated. “Yall nominating that sh-t for a Grammy is unacceptable. Straight up f—king garbage. Gloves are off Oli Sykes is lying to all of you saying it’s good. I promise you none of these clowns are ever being honest to the fans. I’m tired of the lies.”
In a follow-up post, Radke addressed his history with Sykes: “I’m not even hating on Oli Sykes at all. But most of you won’t remember a time when he used to talk hella sh*t to me and Andy Biersack over our eyeliner and the way we dressed. And now dudes got a whole new face and wears tons of makeup. Maybe he was just jealous.”
Radke’s comments target Spiritbox and vocalist Courtney LaPlante’s new album ‘Tsunami Sea.’
The controversy builds upon a complex history between the involved parties.
Loudwire reports that Spiritbox canceled six scheduled tour dates with Falling In Reverse. The cancellation came after significant fan backlash about touring with Radke. Before this incident, Radke had praised Spiritbox, calling the band members ‘so sweet.’ He also expressed sympathy for their situation with fans.
The conflict between Radke and Sykes has become a notable topic in the rock music scene. Their public disagreements continue to draw attention across social media platforms.
Spiritbox maintains their professional momentum despite the controversy. The band proceeds with their scheduled performances across Australia, the U.S., the U.K., and Europe. Their commitment to fans remains strong even after canceling the Falling In Reverse tour.
These events reveal the complex dynamics within the rock music community. Personal histories and public statements frequently impact professional relationships and tour arrangements.
