One of our absolute favorite bands, Kitten , is back. They've got an EP coming out August 28th ( Cut It Out ), BUT as you may have guessed from the title of this post, you can get two songs from it right now. For free even! I usually don't brag about these things, but I've heard the entire EP and it's good. Really, really good. As you you know, my musical tastes lean more toward folk and punk, but Kitten have always been an exception . There's something [...]

You really can find anything on the internet: there's now a Tublr blog, The Kitten Covers, which is devoted entirely to re-creating famous album covers... with kittens. Well, you can't accuse them of lacking truth in advertising. Because everyone loves adorable animals, I've collected the metal-themed ones below. But you can check 'em all out here. [...]
I am really messed up right now. This morning I heard a cat crying for help and saw it had climbed to the top of a giant tree and was clinging on in the wind on small ass branches for dear life. I called 911 to ask for help and they said they don't save cats in trees and the operator told me "it will come down when it's hungry".. then hung up on me. There was nothing I could do. I couldn't climb the tree to save the cat and I had to leave to go to [...]
It's no secret that kittens and black metal go hand in hand on the internet, after all there is even an internet comic dedicated to the kvlt cuddly creatures. Perhaps it's their natural pizazz for corpse paint design, or because cats + anything = internet sensation (we're certainly not above posting about cute cats as ...
Pois é, como vocês já devem saber, Morrissey vem aí! Imperdível! Fiquem atentos no IndieRocker.net! Para celebrar essa visita tão ilustre, brindo-lhes com um cover fantástico do The Smiths, feito pela Kitten. A menina conseguiu, em cada segundo dessa faixa, fazer jus à grandeza da banda de Manchester. E olha que não é uma banda fácil de se fazer um cover. No início, a faixa nos cria uma ótima expectativa, feita com uma leve sonorização de sintetizadores e vocalizações para, em seguida, explodir com a música de fato, em todo seu esplendor. Para quem é fã [...]
06 Smiths covers are tricky. I don't care for most of them. I don't know if it's because I idolize/worship/am dependent upon this band. But, there are exceptions. And I'll admit it, they're always with female vocals. I suppose this has something to do with having such a different tone than Morrissey that I can ~*~accept~*~ it as a different interpretation. Anyway, as you may have guessed, this post is about such a track. One of the first things that attracted me to Kitten was Chloe Chaidez being a Smiths [...]
¿Cuántos discos "tributo a…" han escuchado? Parece un método eficiente el de reunir a muchas bandas, hacer que elijan la canción que más les guste de un grupo y ponerlos a tocar para así grabar un disco que, seguramente se venderá. Tal vez no es el proceso adecuado el [...]
Love or hate The Smiths , it's a testament to their songwriting legacy that the B-side "Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want" alone has been covered more than a dozen times by artists ranging from the Deftones and The Dream Academy to Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward. Reactions to The Smiths' music run from delirious adoration to not being able to stand the sound of Morrissey's voice; Please, Please, Please is a must-get for the former category and just may be the most perfectly acceptable dose of Moz for those who fall into the [...]

Don't let the fact that they're fronted by a 16-year-old girl fool you, Kitten demand to be taken seriously with their balls to the wall pop-punk that recalls the likes of Fever to Tell -era Yeah [...]
This is our third year of doing end of the year round-ups at The Ruckus. It's been a challenge to dig through and re-listen to everything that's come out over an entire year of music, and we invariably leave out really great albums, so this time around we've asked a few of our favorite people to contribute their picks as well. This year, our favorite album comes from Frank Turner ( England Keep My Bones ) and because he's an awesome person, Frank gave us his pick to start our guest list. [...]
Listen to three new Smiths covers by Sara Lov, Telekinesis, and Kitten, then preorder the 20-track tribute album.
Every Monday up until Christmas - which is on a Sunday, just so you know - Slugabed is giving away a free track on Soundcloud. The philanthropic adventure began with the release of 'Kittens' last week and this Monday saw the delivery of the beautifully titled 'Getobonk!' True to Slugabed form both tunes are, according to the comments on Soundcloud, "crazy fresh", "well funky" and "tight as hell". Such comments, to be perfectly honest, embody the kind of snappy commentary that should go on film posters. For example: BobbyEnzyme64 says "Drive was hella cool" and PuzPuzPuz says "Ain't nobody doin [...]
6. Kitten Part one saw me go through five acts that released albums in 2011 and everyone one of them has made my 40 album long short-list (an oxymoron for you) for my top 25 albums of 2011 (which depending on how I've structured these posts after writing them towards the end of November will either be posted soon, or has already been posted), part two is a little different. Kitten , a band that [...]
My name is Kevin Yordy, manager for The Amends, a Colorado-based indie rock-n-roll band. I believe Tyler, one of the band members contacted you before, but I thought I should start earning my keep. The Amends recently independently released their first full-length album, and would be honored if you gave it a listen and hopefully [...]
I have been anticipating this for awhile now- our beloved Kitten cover one of my favorite bands of all time, The Smiths. As expected, this cover is ace. It will be officially released on Please, Please Please a Tribute to The Smiths , a compilation featuring a bunch of really cool names including Stars and William Fitzsimmons. It's available for pre-order here .
Your mom's tasty pumpkin pie is not the only thing cooking for the holidays. As a post Thanksgiving treat, Kitten will stream their own spin on The Smiths' classic "Panic" on November 25th. The track is a part of The Smiths' tribute album, Please, Please, Please: A Tribute to the Smiths, out on December 13th via American Laundromat Records, featuring indie-rock artists such as The Wedding Present, Stars, Telekinesis, Tanya Donelly and many others. The band is getting awesome buzz on their latest single "Chinatown". Check it out if you haven't. - Nicole Dawley
I've been to some very, very good gigs recently, but this was fucking incredible. Drew ( Wounded Knee ) put together an evening of bands to celebrate the release, on Gerry Loves Records , of his album House Music . He was preceded on stage by The Wee Rogue, whose hunched playing style and gentle vocals we rather lovely. Kittens, I wasn't so sure about, I must be honest. They were nice to listen to, particularly in the intimate environment of this particular gig, but I am not all that sure I would feel compelled to [...]
