Kittie – Spit XXV

Canadian heavy music pioneers KITTIE mark a quarter-century milestone with the release of Spit XXV, a four-track EP celebrating the 25th anniversary of their gold-certified debut album.

The collection features freshly updated and re-recorded versions of four of the albums biggest tracks, ‘Brackish’, ‘Charlotte’, ‘Do You Think I’m A Whore’ and the title track ‘Spit’, all produced, once again, by Garth Richardson who helmed the original 1999 sessions at EMAC Studios. “Spit XXV” was the first single.

Today they release “Do You Think I’m A Whore?”

Speaking about the milestone project, KITTIE vocalist/guitarist Morgan Lander reflects:

“It’s hard to believe that 25 years after its release, and almost 30 years since KITTIE began, people are still talking about Spit. There is something truly unexplainable in why our debut album is still resonating with people, finding a new audience and has had such a lasting impact on so many. Reimagining some of these classic songs for the 25th anniversary of ‘Spit’ was a lot of fun and a true testament to their longevity. It reveals just how relevant in the musical landscape they still are today. We were honoured to work with Garth again where it all began after more than two decades, and doing so was a cool way to pay homage to the past while updating these songs with a modern sound, bringing them into the future.”

Released 11th January, 2000, KITTIE’s debut full-length album, Spit transformed them from four Canadian teenagers into international heavyweights, achieving gold certification with over 660,000 US sales. The album became a defining moment for women in heavy music, with its aggressive sound and uncompromising attitude proving that metal made by women could achieve both critical respect and commercial success during nu-metal’s completely male-dominated peak era.
