Episode 10: Kittie's "Spit" w/ Fallon Bowman of Kittie

The P.O.D. Kast

We are extremely pleased to be joined by Fallon Bowman, one of the founding members of Kittie, to discuss their debut album, "Spit". We said we would never have a guest on the main episodes of the program, but this is Fallon Bowman! We have no choice. She rules.

In a continuing series where Bryan Quinby (Street Fight Radio) and John Cullen (Blocked Party) review one classic nu-metal album per month, we revisit one of the formative nu-metal albums from John's childhood, Spit. Kittie, one of the best all-female groups of all-time is also Canadian, so John heard them a ton growing up, and Bryan gets his first exposure to a band that he calls "a perfect nu-metal sound". We discuss how John was super afraid of Kittie as a young teen, why "Brackish" would be the song Bryan would choose if someone asked him what nu-metal is, and just what made this small group of 4 Canadian women so special. And then to top it off, we are joined by Fallon Bowman to talk about how Kittie wrote the majority of this record as 14 year-olds, what it was like to tour with Ozzfest and be firmly entrenched in this genre as young women, and ultimately, why Fallon left the band before their second record was even written. Plus, we share a lot of laughs, as the interview goes double the time it was supposed to. It starts at 48:22.
