Revolver has released a list of the top 20 essential nu-metal albums. Kittie’s ‘Spit’ is at lucky number 13.
Kittie’s core sister duo of Morgan (vocals, guitar) and Mercedes Lander (drums) were just 17 and 15, respectively, when the band dropped its breakthrough debut album, Spit, which made brash, no-holds-barred songs like “Do You Think I’m a Whore” and “Get Off (You Can Eat a Dick)” all the more shocking and hard-hitting. Nearly 20 years later, the group’s take-no-shit attitude, primal playing and mix of little-girl sing-song and I-am-woman roars aligns them as much with Nineties riot-grrrl firestarters like Babes in Toyland, L7 and Hole as it does nu-metal.
