Kittens play a raw and heavy brand of noise rock and they consit of Shawn Fedorchuk, Russ Desjardine and Steve Kellas, who started Kittens together after they disbanded their previous band, Batsweat, recruiting drummer David Kelly and releasing the album Like A Plough on cassette. Desjardine (who went on to play bass in Artificial Joy and helped found The Bonaduces as drummer) and Steve then left the band and Jahmeel Russell joined on bass. Kittles released several albums on Sonic Unyon in the late 1990s. After disbanding for almost eight years, they had a reunion show on New Years of 2007.
