Kitty in a Casket
High-octane psychobilly with a horror-movie heart. Slapped upright bass meets melodic punk vocals for a late-night ride through the graveyard.

Kitty in a Casket delivers a high-velocity blend of punk rock aggression and vintage rockabilly swing. The sound is defined by the percussive 'slap' of the upright bass, which provides a frantic, rhythmic skeleton for crunchy guitar riffs and surprisingly melodic vocal hooks. It feels like a high-budget tribute to 1950s B-movies, filtered through the lens of modern street punk.
What sets them apart is the vocal delivery of Kitty Casket, which balances a gritty punk edge with a pop-sensible clarity that makes their choruses anthemic. Unlike the more guttural side of the genre, this music leans into the 'billy' side of psychobilly, maintaining a danceable groove even when the lyrics delve into the macabre, the undead, and the bittersweet.
