The
long awaited and much anticipated official CD release of Detroit’s own
Konniption Fit, has been scheduled for January 30, 2010 with a
fun-packed line-up at TNT’s. The night will include not only great
music from a variety of bands, but also a number of exciting giveaway
and raffle items from Coffin Case, one of Konniption Fit’s endorsement
companies.
Konniption Fit’s “Ballistic”, produced by
Andy Patalan at The Loft studios in Saline Michigan, features 12 songs
of fun, upbeat Pop Punk sharpened to a razors edge with Modern Rock.
Stylistically, the songs on “Ballistic” run the gamut of styles and
influences, from the sounds of a riveting racehorse riot to moments of
harmonic texture and melodicism, all coming together as a whole which
can only be described as uniquely Konniption Fit. Catchy, lush
harmonies and melodies are contrasted with the roar of Marshall-driven
guitars, sledgehammer drums and tight, pulsing bass lines, causing the
listener to want to sing along and slam dance all at the same time.
Konniption
Fit is a punk/pop/rock band with a heavier edge, hailing from Detroit,
MI. Their sound covers many sonic territories, from crunchy ear candy
to rebellious moments of anarchy, yet all mixes cohesively into one
band. Their goal? To write music with a raw, rebellious attitude, play
music with conviction, and devastate the stage with an onslaught of
catchy melodies, high energy performances, and an unforgettable show.
Konniption Fit is brimming with hook-laden, pop punk bliss contrasted
with guitar-driven modern rock, creating a fresh sound with
mass-crossover appeal. A bright light emerging from Motor City, this is
a band that isn’t afraid to step outside the darker Detroit music “box”
and tap into diverse influences.
While working hard to
promote their live show, Konniption Fit has had the opportunity to play
some of Detroit’s largest and best venues, including the Royal Oak
Music Theater, St Andrews Hall, The Crofoot and The Emerald Theater.
Through hard work, they’ve garnered stage time with national recording
acts such as Days of the New, Taproot, Sponge, Ashes of Soma, WWE Diva
Christy Hemme, The Luchagors (featuring Lita from WWE), The Muggs
(“Greatest American Band” finalists), Frequency 54 and Crud to name a
few. Recently, the band just finished up their second Midwest tour,
hitting cities such as Chicago, Fort Wayne, Pittsburgh, Toledo,
Cincinnati and more.
