KOTTAK's debut CD, entitled "Therupy", was released in September 2006 via Escapi Music. According to a press release, the album boasts 12 tracks of high-energy riffage: 10 originals — including "Ripped", "High (In My Little Room)" and "Song That Won't Go Away" — written by Ratchitt/Athena/Whiston, and two covers: SCORPIONS' "Holiday" and CYNDI LAUPER's "Money Changes Everything".
Obvious comparisons will no doubt ensue over the drumming styles of Athena and her brother but one thing is for certain, Athena's her own person. KOTTAK represents her music, the band's singular vision, and, along with Jimmy/Dave/Rev, her shot at the brass ring.
