Watch Knocked Loose and Poppy’s epic ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ performance

Knocked Loose and Poppy performed their collaborative single ‘Suffocate’ together on US TV last night (November 26) – watch below.

The US hardcore punk band teamed up with the singer-songwriter on the track earlier this year. It appears on Knocked Loose’s third and latest album, ‘You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To’, which was released in May.

Earlier this month, the joint song was nominated for Best Metal Performance at the Grammys 2025.

After giving ‘Suffocate’ its live debut at Sick New World Festival in April, Knocked Loose and Poppy featured as the musical guests on yesterday’s episode of ABC chat show Jimmy Kimmel Live!.

Here, they unleashed a particularly ferocious rendition of the hard-hitting and riff-heavy single in front of a live audience as rain poured down at the outdoor venue.

Opening with a crushing guitar riff, the epic TV appearance included blazing pyro, circle pits in the wild crowd, and next-level screaming from both frontman Bryan Garris and Poppy.

Knocked Loose stayed on stage to play four more songs for their fans in the audience in the form of ‘Don’t Reach For Me’, ‘Moss Covers All’, ‘Take Me Home’ and ‘Sit & Mourn’ from ‘You Won’t Go…’.

However, it was only ‘Suffocate’ that was broadcast on last night’s Kimmel. Upon announcing the “mini-concert”, Knocked Loose described themselves as “the heaviest band on live television”.

In the comments section, one impressed viewer wrote of the ‘Suffocate’ performance: “A song this heavy being on a late-night talk show is insane.” Another fan said: “Some kid watching this and seeing metal for the first time has found his calling.”

A third person added: “Bryan hitting a squeal on national TV in the greatest thing ever.” Someone else commented: “TV history was written right here. Perfect performance!”

Elsewhere in the posts, a YouTube user wrote: “Gojira at the Olympics. Knocked Loose on Kimmel. What a time to be in the metal scene.”
