It started one day in gymnastics class. Mercedes Lander, still in high school, met Fallon Bowman incidentally. Both were into the same music: Nirvana, Silverchair, Pink Floyd, etc. and wanted to be in a rock band. They began to play Nirvana songs in a garage, when eventually they teamed up with Mercedes' sister Morgan, who had a gifted and talented voice. By the time they found bassist Talena, Kittie had been set in stone. They became a hit at their high school, in which at the time, pop acts like Britney Spears were getting big. The members of Kittie strayed from the pop crowd, they knew they were all for the heavy metal. By January of 2000, their debut album Spit was released from their Canadian label, Ng Records. The songs involved hate, betrayal, rape, suicide, and other gritty themes the girls had encountered at some point in their lives. The following summer, Kittie was put on the 2nd stage at Ozzfest, along with bands such as Soulfly and Taproot. Proving to be one of the most popular bands there, their song "Suck" was put onto the Ozzfest live compilation album. By 2001, Kittie was set to work on their next album. Then shadows began to fall on the band: they stopped speaking to each other for a short time, due to an argument. No one knew what was to come for the band. By August 2001, Fallon Bowman spoke up and decided to leave the band, in pursuit of a solo career, along the lines of a Rage Against The Machine-ish project. A few months later, November 2001, Kittie released their second album, Oracle with the help of GGGarth Richardson (Mudvayne, Chevelle). This album was set to be more mature, with Morgan's new riffs, visual lyrics, and entrancing melodies. Their first single from the new album, "What I Always Wanted", debuted on MTV, and metal fans bought the record. Kittie thought that they had overcome some of their greatest obstacles, though they were wrong. By early 2002, bassist Talena Atfield became the second member to walk away, in hopes of something new. There weren't any members to cover for her this time around. So, instead of giving up, Morgan and Mercedes began to search for a new bass player, where they found ex-Spine's Jennifer Arroyo. Jennifer was already a fan of Kittie, and learning the parts wasn't that hard for her. Around the time, "Run Like Hell" and "Pain" began to air on radio stations, and live music videos were shot. In May came the mellow, harmonic "In Winter", which became popular on rock radio shows such as hardDrive w/Lou Brutus. The summer came, and Kittie came back to Ozzfest for their second time, playing a few shows here and there, getting prepared for their EP release. By November, Kittie was done with the Safe EP, and it was released, featuring a KMFDM remix of "Safe"; a radio edit of "Safe"; live recordings of "No Name", "Severed", "What I Always Wanted", "In Winter", and "Pain"; and live footage of "Wolves", "Charlotte", and "Mouthful of Poison". It is now February 2003, and Morgan, Mercedes, and Jennifer are working on material for their upcoming release. A release date is yet to be scheduled, but it's worth the wait.

Until The End (2004)
1. Looks So Pretty
Say what you will
I will walk past that plate of glass
Your time has passed
Don't ever say it's my time
Burning hatred will light my way
A choice not an echo
And as your world comes down,
I will be there
[chorus]
You look so pretty, digging your grave
You look so pretty, what's left to save?
Say what you will
Eyes to the skies
You look so pretty right now

2. Career Suicide
Vindiction bleeds you
From every pore
Until hope runs out
Until my feet leave the floor
The first trace of that too familiar feeling
Smiles and daggers
Hearts are bleeding
Don't say no
I'll soon know
[chorus]
Convictions see you through
Are you all you know?
Your faded costume is wearing thin
Was there no comfort in you own skin?
You always were a slow learning inside your
ugly living lies
Tell yourself that
Next time you cry
Don't go
Don't go
Don't do it | riff_master |
3. Until The End
Wings spread, poised
Fantly Convulsing the sky
How will I know?
Bask now in this graying light
Search for that word
Something likened goodbye
How will I know that they will cry?
[chorus]
We were blessed
(in this lifetime)
Laid to rest
(all we live for)
We were blessed
Voices ring on
Autumn is always at hand
Angels corpses
Hollow and stolen so fast
I heard your voice
And it spoke softly to me
We have this time
And then we're free
Take me under
Take me under | riff_master |
4. Red Flag
I feel trapped and it's all in my dirty
hands
These walls are closing in
You always were so hard to please
You thought you had me on my knees
I think I'm going under
Red flags for all of this
You're cold and calculating
A knife held to my lips
And this anticipating
Blade bleeding for a kiss
[chorus]
This is the day, and you wait
Is this fate, laying waste
And you'll stay here forever
Stay here forever
And all that's left are scars
And lies
Whispering while beauty dies
I claw my neck for answers
As last life slips away
Take me away | riff_master |
5. Pussy Sugar
I can taste the wreckage
Of dismembered dreams
Ghostly disciple, nothing as it seems
I will follow you until this dark cloud
recedes
Pain of another, heal this I plead
My heart still bleeds for you
[chorus]
Take the long way home
My heart still bleeds for you
Solemn times stain us like
The blood of all that's unknown
This cursed you the worst
Give me your love
Solemn times stain us like
The blood of all that's unknown | riff_master |
6. In Dreams
Everytime I speak
Wipe away all these tears
Living every day in fear
Finding nothing but empty
[chorus]
Wide awake and dreaming
Os this what it seems?
Close my eyes forever
I'll wake up
Desperation strips me
These last days have not been free
Stealing every breath from me
Whispering defeat
And I see it in your eyes
Long gone
And i feel it in your heart
Long gone
And I see it in your eyes
Long gone, long gone | riff_master |
7. Into The Darkness
I feel helpless, waiting
Could this all be the end?
It's coming down all at once
Am I losing you?
No way out
[chorus]
Until this all crashes down, I'll hold on
Into the darkness, not knowing at all
Are you out there waiting, wondering about
me?
I've never felt so alone as I do now
Hold on to me | riff_master |
8. Burning Bridges
Hell above
Your star is below
There's no comprehension
There's no voice of reason here
Fairy tales dividing
Broken wings unfold
Before you
Take a look at what you've become
[chorus]
Hell above
Your star is below
All I see
Covered in dirt
Hell above
Your star is below
All hope dies
Burning Bridges
I'll take the truth before trust
When the world comes crashing down
Embrace the pain
In a world of lies
(YOW!)
I'll take the truth before trust
Flight betrayed you
Clipped your own
Take a look at what you've become
One truth for you | riff_master |
9. Loveless
And so we're here again
I try to speak
Beg forgiveness
This fall from grave is in my hands
[chorus]
I'll stay away
You're so forgiving
I'm so wrong
Stinging tears
Burn resentment
All I have
Is in your possession
And my heart does not
Bleed for anyone but my own
Am I loveless? | riff_master |
10. Daughters Down
I feel helpless, stare in disbelief
How can you still sleep at night?
Hold her with just one look,
Just one foot she's innocent
Put your hands around my neck
Stripping me of all my dignity
Wendetta black against her
Your bloody mouth against her
Raped of everything she owned
It's so lonely at the bottom
Putting pieces of a pizzle
Back together we've forgotten
[chorus]
Throw your daughters down
Hold your daughters down
Seeing beauty turn to waste
Let your ego be the death of me
Hand held tight behind my back
Stealing all that's precious to me
Wouldd you do this to your own?
Breaking, lying to my face
I can see you're still the same
Kill before and kill again
I WILL FIGHT UNTIL THE DEATH | riff_master | | i like kittie their cool | benji_is_hott | | | |
