THE BEAST

KITSA is a rousing heavy rock act hailing from the salted aura of Port Orchard, Washington. Launched in 2022, the band's music is deeply rooted in weighty riffs, spanning various genres over several decades, with a deep nod to Pacific Northwest grunge.

With Elder, The Sword, Down, Alice In Chains, and Nazareth cited as some of their influences, the foursome of  KITSA comprises members from eclectic bands, including Devilbilt, YEDD, Teepee Creeper, Pivot Point, Earthwreck, and Abused. In April 2023, KITSA released three incendiary live demo tracks recorded by Jeremy Deede and Tony Reed at Devils Child Records.

Later in 2023, the band set out to record their full-length debut, 'Dead by Dawn.'  A melting pot of musical forces, the record features an assortment of sweet, sweeping vocal harmonies on the title track "Dead by Dawn," the live fan favorite "Journeyman," and a classic rock banger "Seeds of Famine." Dead by Dawn is transcended by hard-hitting muscled tracks like "She" and "Hate."
