Tits of Death is an all-female five-piece rock band from London, UK. Their aggressive synthesizer sound has been described as "the Shangri-las meets Slayer". [Swindells, Dave. [http://www.timeout.com/london/clubs/features/2491.html "The Dog's Bollocks"] , "Time Out London", January 17-24 2007, p. 108]

Tits of Death formed in late 2005 and consists of Marni Maelstrom (vocals), Synthia DeBris (synth/keytar), Titania Tornado (guitar), Debra Damage (bass guitar) and Kitty Darling (also bass guitar). The band has no drummer. Their musical inspiriation is drawn from glam rock and psychobilly icons such as Suzi Quatro and The Cramps, to punk and heavy metal acts New York Dolls and AC/DC. [Medd, James. "Sisters of No Mercy", "Esquire", May 2007, p. 48]

Tits of Death's songs are generally breast-themed, with titles such as "This is a Bust", "Iron Nipples" and "Dirty Pillows", the latter based on a line from the film adaptation of Stephen King's Carrie. [Barding, Andy. [http://www.playlouder.com/feature/+new-years-revolu-7/"Tits of Death: New Years' Revolutions"] , "PlayLouder.com", January 2006.] Their first single, "Iron Nipples", was released in August 2007 on Seriously Stacked Records, earning praise from the UK indie press.
