[1] Their music consisted of loud, pop-punk melodies combined with a unique mix of guitar effects.
The band's debut album was released in August 2001 on the Devil in the Woods label, entitled You've Seen Us..You Must Have Seen Us....[1][2] This was quickly followed up with a single, "Cat Nap", on the Fierce Panda label, while British music critics praised KaitO's unique punky sound.
2002 began with tours for the band, most notably with the Datsuns, Seafood and Imperial Teen.
[1] An EP was released (Montigola Underground) that summer despite the touring, and KaitO eventually left Devil in the Woods for SpinART in 2003.
The band's sound has been described as "scathing bubblegum pop",[9] and "tightly coiled post-punk-pop".
