The band has stirred up a storm across the Midwest since 2017 thanks to their energetic live shows, strong sense of community, and genre-defying songwriting. The trio has appeared at several regional and national festivals, completed 3 regional and national tours, and received the coveted Artist of The Year award from their local Madison Area Music Association.

Kat and the Hurricane&#39;s 2024 debut LP, <a href="spotify:album:3iMQu34pGqA2sZs504oBGE" data-name="Got It Out">Got It Out</a>, represents a new high in their craft of catharsis. Seamlessly weaving elements of synth rock, pop punk, indie-pop, alternative rock, indie-folk, and hip-hop across ten tracks, the band speaks to the growing pains of mental health and trauma healing. From the raucous stadium rock anthem, “<a href="spotify:track:3fL5iHnn1KUQIlGI8tUCPC" data-name="Therapy">Therapy</a>,” high-energy pop-punk confessional “<a href="spotify:track:0KjnzG6PHIqFdH9sll2Wzn" data-name="Caffeine &amp; Alcohol">Caffeine &amp; Alcohol</a>” and lush indie-pop closer, “<a href="spotify:track:6r0RhhBldufu42YF6D0iPA" data-name="Smoke">Smoke</a>,” Kat and the Hurricane illustrates how, even with some healing and a lot of getting it out, pain never truly goes away - it simply shifts.
