In 1998, Kittie recorded their first demo, Sexizhell.[5] In 1999, they released their self-titled debut extended play and signed to Ng Records after performing at the Canadian Music Week festival in March of that year.[1][6] The band released their debut album Spit in November 1999; shortly thereafter, Ng was absorbed into Artemis Records, who reissued the album in January 2000.[7] The album peaked at number 79 on the US Billboard 200 chart,[8] whilst both of its singles, "Brackish" and "Charlotte", charted within the top forty of Billboard's Active Rock Tracks chart and the top 75 of the UK Singles Chart.[9][10] It went on to sell over 600,000 in the United States and was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).[11] Kittie's second album Oracle (2001) earned the band its highest charting positions worldwide, debuting at number 57 on the Billboard 200 with 33,000 copies sold,[12][8] although its sales fell below those of Spit with 220,000 copies sold in the United States by 2004.[13] Their third album, Until the End (2004), debuted at number 105 on the Billboard 200.[14] Its only single, "Into the Darkness", reached number 116 on the UK Singles Chart.[10]
In 2005, Kittie left Artemis Records and partnered with Rock Ridge Music to release the band's fourth EP Never Again (2006).[15][16][17] That same year, Kittie formed its own record label, X of Infamy Records, to release its fourth album Funeral for Yesterday (2007).[18][19] The album debuted at number 101 on the Billboard 200[8] and spawned the band's biggest radio hit up to that point, "Funeral for Yesterday", which charted at number 40 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.[20][21] In 2009, Kittie signed a three-album deal with eOne Music to release In the Black (2009),[22] alongside a European licensing deal with Massacre Records.[23] The album charted at number 133 on the Billboard 200.[24] The band's sixth album, I've Failed You (2011), was their lowest-charting album in the United States, debuting at number 178 on the Billboard 200.[25] In 2012, Kittie released its first compilation album Not So... Safe, which featured tracks from most of the band's six albums, excluding Funeral for Yesterday.[26] Due to rising costs associated with touring and writing new music and declining interest in the band's live shows,[32] Kittie entered a hiatus that lasted from 2017 to 2022.[33][34] In 2024, the band released its seventh album and first in thirteen years, Fire, through Sumerian Records.[35] Its second single, "We Are Shadows", became the band's highest-charting song on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay chart, peaking at number 20.[8]
