Spit

About

Spit is the debut studio album by Canadian heavy metal band Kittie, originally released on November 13, 1999, through Ng Record. Kittie were formed in 1996, and signed a four-album deal with Ng following their performances at the Canadian Music Week festival in March 1999. Recorded over nine days in May 1999 with producer Garth Richardson at EMAC Studios in London, Ontario, Spit is a nu metal album that incorporates various elements from several heavy metal subgenre, and its lyrical themes include sexism, hatred, ignorance, betrayal, bullying and life experience. The album is Kittie's only release with their original line-up, featuring bassist Tanya Candler and guitarist Fallon Bowman; Candler was replaced by Talena Atfield, who appears on the cover of all subsequent reissues of the album. Shortly after Spit's initial release, Ng was absorbed into Artemis Record, who gave the album a wide re-release on January 11, 2000. Kittie promoted the album with the release of two single, "Brackish" and "Charlotte", which became radio and MTV hit, and extensive international touring which saw the band perform at the Ozzfest and SnoCore festivals in 2000 and 2001, respectively. The album reached number 79 on the US Billboard 200 chart and was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in October 2000. .
