Band at a Glance
Konniption Fit is a Modern Rock band with a heavier Pop Punk sound, hailing from Detroit, Michigan. Featuring Jason Caine on lead vocals and guitars, backed by an all female rhythm section of Amber Cat on Bass/backing vocals and Barbie Grrl on drums, their sound covers many sonic territories, from crunchy ear candy, to rebellious moments of anarchy, yet all mixes cohesively into 1 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 a show you'll never forget. Come check it out for yourself!
In the Fall of 2007, Konniption Fit released the EP "Caricatures" produced and engineered by Andy Patalan (Taproot, Sponge) and have been blazing trails with their own brand of "Pop Punk meets Modern Rock" sound across the Midwest. With 2 Midwest tours under their belt, opening for national acts such as The Academy Is, The Envy, Taproot, Sponge, Days of the New, LA Guns and many more, as well as sponsorships from Zon Guitars, Coffin Case, XOX Audio Tools, Kimikal Clothing & Hot Picks USA, the highly-anticipated full-length CD, "Ballistic" was released in the Spring of 2010.



"Ballistic", also produced by Andy Patalan, has since been played on numerous radio stations, college radio stations, internet radio and podcasts across the country, and has received critical acclaim from reviewers and critics alike including Static Noise 88.3FM's Detroit Album of the Year. Paul Autry of Ballbustermusic.com reviews, "It's a fun collection of high energy pop, punk, rock 'n' roll. I can't really pick out any stand out tracks because I'd probably end up talking about every song on the album because it's that damn good.”
In recent news, during the Fall of 2010, Konniption Fit was voted as as one of the top 5 bands in a Guitar Center Battle of the Bands to open for KISS. One of the top 5 finalists, was to be selected by KISS to open for them at DTE Energy Theater in Clarkston, MI (capacity 15,474) on September 11 and Konniption Fit was selected by KISS as the winner. "Ballistic" was chosen by Oakland University radio station, 88.3FM Static Noise, as the Local Album of the Year 2010, receiving the most airplay on their show. In July of 2010, singer/guitarist Jason Caine was the featured cover story for Detroit's cultural publication, W3, which featured an in-depth interview about him and the band. Konniption Fit has also secured shows at the Indie Music Fest in Las Vegas, NE for May 2011 and the Millenium Music Conference in Cincinnati, OH for Sept 2010.
With high-energy performances, catchy, hook-laden songs, and good looks to spare, Konniption Fit looks forward to bringing you the perfect soundtrack and performances to fuel your best times ever!
Discography
BALLISTIC (2010)- Full Length
Konniption Fit's "Ballistic" 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. Lyrically, "Ballistic" approaches a variety of song topics with a bit of humor, sarcasm and bite. Songs like "Antimatter", "Erase" and "Catnip" challenge the typical relationship song model with a sense of realism, depth and a modern day view of life. Angst and sarcasm are spit forth in "Rush Hour", explaining the reasons for the common traffic jam. Like a karma-fueled dragster racing with technical precision, the ladies man gets what he finally deserves when crossing the wrong girl in "Self-Destruct". "Ballistic" has a song for everyone and will leave the listener craving another taste with an insatiable hunger waiting to be fulfilled.
CARICATURES (2007) - The EP The debut EP, "Caricatures" captures Konniption Fit's ability to write diverse material, yet showcase a sound that is cohesively unique & distinctly their own. Produced & recorded by Andy Patalan (Sponge, Solid Frog, Throttlebody, etc) at the infamous Loft studios in Saline, Michigan, "Caricatures" is brimming w/ hook-laden, ear-candy, pop bliss contrasted with crunchy, guitar-driven modern rock, creating a sound with mass-crossover appeal. This is a band that isn't afraid to sound like themselves, & while having many influences, taps into those influences to create something new & fresh.
