What did Knocked Loose's Bryan Garris have to say after their 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' performance sparked both outrage and support?

Pearl-clutching Facebook parents haven’t stopped another chat show with a ‘Jimmy’ from booking Ice-T’s outspoken rap metal icons. Or perhaps they’ve encouraged it?

Knocked Loose vocalist Bryan Garris has since taken to Instagram to express his gratitude for the opportunity and to share some pretty heartwarming thoughts about how far the band has come. And sure, it's not " Gojira playing the Olympics" massive, but Jimmy Kimmel Live! has roughly 1.7 million viewers – that's a pretty big fucking deal.

Knocked Loose and Poppy's performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live sparked some complaints from viewers and support from hardcore fans.

Knocked Loose ’s Kimmel appearance comes amid a wave of recognition for the band. Just weeks ago, Suffocate earned a nomination for the 2025 Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance, putting them in the same category as heavyweights like Metallica, Judas Priest, and Gojira. The winner will be revealed at the February 2 ceremony in Los Angeles.

It looks like Jimmy Kimmel Live will likely return with new episodes starting Monday, Dec. 2. For now, the show will be airing re-runs of recent episodes to fill the 11:35 p.m. ET slot.

The rapidly rising band delivered a pyrotechnic, mosh pit-fueled set that shone a bright spotlight on modern hardcore genres. But the primetime TV beatdown wasn't to everyone's tastes

Viewers who tuned into Jimmy Kimmel Live! were shocked when a Grammy-nominated hardcore band started performing.

A Grammy-nominated band that got its start in Oldham County rocked the stage on live television Tuesday night. Hardcore metal band Knocked Loose took the stage on "Jimmy Kimmel Live," delivering a roaring five-song set that opened with "Suffocate" featuring singer Poppy.
