Haven't heard of Jinjer or Kittie? Let's catch you up:
Jinjer has never played by the rules, especially not the ones set by the heavy metal purists. Instead, they’ve carved out a sound so distinctly their own that it feels almost impossible to pin down. Vocalist Tatiana Shmayluk delivers a vocal onslaught paired with a whirlwind of crushing riffs, punishing basslines, and complex drum patterns. Their unique approach has amassed over 300 million streams and views across platforms, with their records standing among the most celebrated in contemporary heavy music.
Tracks like "Sit Stay Roll Over," "Home Back," "Call Me A Symbol," and, of course, the groundbreaking "Pisces" unleash a ferocity most bands struggle to capture. These fan favorites seamlessly blend metalcore, djent, hardcore, and groove metal with progressive flourishes—creating something undeniably catchy and utterly unique. Fast forward to 2024, and Jinjer is still riding high, smashing every norm and continuing to dominate in their own unapologetic way.
For over a decade and a half, Jinjer has hit monumental achievements. Their 2021 release Wallflowers dominated charts around the globe, and their relentless touring schedule includes sold-out headliners and show-stealing festival sets. Their latest single "Rogue" is yet another beast of a track, reminding us that Jinjer’s music speaks louder than words. Every release tightens their grip on the genre, pushing their evolution further and further.
But that’s just the beginning of the carnage. Sharing the stage with Jinjer is none other than Kittie, the trailblazing icons who have stormed back after a 13-year hiatus. Exploding onto the scene in 1999 with Spit, Kittie went from their nu-metal roots to evolving into a full-blown metal powerhouse over the span of six albums. After years away, their comeback with the new record *Fire* brings the fury, fusing all the elements of their past into a volatile new sound, proving they’ve lost none of their bite.
For Aussie fans, Kittie’s long-overdue return to the stage marks their first tour Down Under since 2012. Get ready for a crash course through their discography, from the raw rage of Spit and the moshpit anthem "Brackish" to the progressive heaviness of What I Always Wanted and the hypnotic swagger of In Winter. Expect fresh bangers like "Vultures" and "One Foot in the Grave" to add fuel to the fire, setting up an unforgettable set that’s both a trip down memory lane for die-hards and a brutal introduction for new listeners.
For over 25 years, Kittie has been breaking stereotypes and shattering barriers for women in metal, inspiring legions of fans and artists worldwide. Their return to Australia is set to be a hero’s welcome for long-time followers and an initiation into chaos for those just discovering their relentless ferocity.
