KITTIE Until The End (2004) RSD Release Vinyl LP (2023)

Kittie were doing something genuinely strange and important in the early 2000s, four sisters and friends from London, Ontario carving out heavy space in a genre that barely knew what to do with them. Until the End from 2004 was their fourth record and arguably their heaviest, a slab of death-tinged nu-metal with Morgan Lander's voice going from clean melody to guttural without apology.

Before the 2023 documentary and reunion brought them back to the conversation, this album was living quietly in the collections of people who knew. The metallic silver RSD pressing is the kind of release that rewards those who kept the faith, heavy alternative music from a band that never got the credit their male contemporaries did, sounding exactly as uncompromising as it did two decades ago. Essential for anyone with a serious interest in punk and alternative fashion eras where the music actually matched the outfit.
