Kittie Celebrate 25 Years Of ‘Spit’ With New Anniversary EP

This Friday, September 19, Canadian heavy trailblazers Kittie will mark 25 years since their game changing debut with Spit XXV, a four track EP that reimagines the songs that first catapulted them into the spotlight.

The anniversary release revives four of the original album’s most notorious cuts, ‘Brackish’, ‘Charlotte’, ‘Do You Think I’m a Whore’, and the title track ‘Spit’. Each has been re-recorded and freshly produced by Garth Richardson, the same producer who helmed the original 1999 sessions at EMAC Studios. It will be released via Sumerian Records, Spit XXV isn’t just a nostalgia trip, it’s Kittie proving their bite still carries venom.

For context: Spit dropped on January 11, 2000 and flipped the heavy music world on its head. In an era when nu-metal was drowning in testosterone, Kittie were teenage Canadian outsiders making noise that went gold in the United States, selling over 660,000 copies and setting a new precedent for women in metal. Their unapologetically aggressive sound and attitude not only earned critical respect but forced a male dominated scene to take them seriously.

After a decade away, Kittie’s 2022 comeback has been nothing short of explosive. Their monthly Spotify listenership sits around 784,700, split between diehards who never left and Gen Z fans who stumbled across their fun on TikTok. Festival stages at Sick New World, Welcome to Rockville, and Sonic Temple have reminded everyone that Kittie are still a live powerhouse. Their 2024 North American headline run? Proof they’ve not just returned, they’ve reasserted themselves as headliners with generational staying power.
