The Canadian heavy metal band Kittie have released seven studio albums, five extended plays, one compilation album, one demo album, four video albums, eighteen singles and twenty-one music videos. Kittie was formed in 1996 by guitarist and vocalist Morgan Lander, guitarist Fallon Bowman and drummer Mercedes Lander, [1] and currently consists of Morgan, Mercedes, guitarist Tara McLeod and bassist Ivy Vujic. [2] As of 2018, the band have sold over two million albums worldwide. [3] The band has achieved most of its commercial successes in the United States, with their album sales in Canada totalling 60,000 as of 2009. [4]
In 1998, Kittie recorded their first demo, Sexizhell. [5] In 1999, they released their self-titled debut extended play and signed to Ng Records after performing at the Canadian Music Week festival in March of that year. [1] [6] The band released their debut album Spit in November 1999; shortly thereafter, Ng was absorbed into Artemis Records, who reissued the album in January 2000. [7] The album peaked at number 79 on the US Billboard 200 chart, [8] whilst both of its singles, "Brackish" and "Charlotte", charted within the top forty of Billboard 's Active Rock Tracks chart and the top 75 of the UK Singles Chart. [9] [10] It went on to sell over 600,000 in the United States and was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). [11] Kittie's second album Oracle (2001) earned the band its highest charting positions worldwide, debuting at number 57 on the Billboard 200 with 33,000 copies sold, [12] [8] although its sales fell below those of Spit with 220,000 copies sold in the United States by 2004. [13] Their third album, Until the End (2004), debuted at number 105 on the Billboard 200. [14] Its only single, "Into the Darkness", reached number 116 on the UK Singles Chart. [10]
In 2005, Kittie left Artemis Records and partnered with Rock Ridge Music to release the band's fourth EP Never Again (2006). [15] [16] [17] That same year, Kittie formed its own record label, X of Infamy Records, to release its fourth album Funeral for Yesterday (2007). [18] [19] The album debuted at number 101 on the Billboard 200 [8] and spawned the band's biggest radio hit up to that point, "Funeral for Yesterday", which charted at number 40 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. [20] [21] In 2009, Kittie signed a three-album deal with eOne Music to release In the Black (2009), [22] alongside a European licensing deal with Massacre Records. [23] The album charted at number 133 on the Billboard 200. [24] The band's sixth album, I've Failed You (2011), was their lowest-charting album in the United States, debuting at number 178 on the Billboard 200. [25] In 2012, Kittie released its first compilation album Not So... Safe, which featured tracks from most of the band's six albums, excluding Funeral for Yesterday. [26] Due to rising costs associated with touring and writing new music and declining interest in the band's live shows, [32] Kittie entered a hiatus that lasted from 2017 to 2022. [33] [34] In 2024, the band released its seventh album and first in thirteen years, Fire , through Sumerian Records. [35] Its second single, "We Are Shadows", became the band's highest-charting song on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay chart, peaking at number 20. [8]

{{cite AV media notes}}
: CS1 maint: others in cite AV media (notes) (link)Kittie will be shooting a live video for the track "Pain", off the group's forthcoming Oracle CD, at Harpos in Detroit on November 24th.
A month after Oracle's October release, Kittie rocked Harpo's in Detroit, Michigan, where they opened their set with ["Run Like Hell"]. The crushing performance was filmed, and the footage later appeared as a video on MTV2's Headbangers Ball and other heavy-music TV programming.
