The Canadian heavy metal band Kittie have released seven studio albums, four extended plays, one compilation album, one demo album, four video albums, seventeen singles and nineteen 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. 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] [5] 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. [6] The album peaked at number 79 on the US Billboard 200 chart, 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. [7] [8] It went on to sell over 600,000 in the United States and was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). [9] 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, [10] [7] although its sales fell below those of Spit with 220,000 copies sold in the United States by 2004. [11] Their third album, Until the End (2004), debuted at number 105 on the Billboard 200. [12] Its only single, "Into the Darkness", reached number 116 on the UK Singles Chart. [8]
In 2005, Kittie left Artemis Records and partnered with Rock Ridge Music to release the band's fourth EP Never Again (2006). [13] [14] That same year, Kittie formed its own record label, X of Infamy Records, to release its fourth album Funeral for Yesterday (2007). [15] [16] The album debuted at number 101 on the Billboard 200 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. [7] [17] [18] In 2009, Kittie signed a three-album deal with eOne Music to release In the Black (2009), alongside a European licensing deal with Massacre Records. [19] [20] The album charted at number 133 on the Billboard 200. [21] 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. [22] 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. [23] Due to rising costs associated with touring and writing new music and declining interest in the band's live shows, [24] Kittie entered a hiatus that lasted from 2017 to 2022. [25] [26] In 2024, the band released its seventh album and first in thirteen years, Fire , through Sumerian Records. [27] Its second single, "We Are Shadows", became the band's highest-charting song on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay chart, peaking at number 20. [7]
