Tourettes is a heavy metal band from Sydney, Australia founded in January, 2000. Their style has been described as "a mixture of hardcore, nu-metal and other elements to create an apoplectic and eclectic noise". [1]

Live, the band combines performance with visual elements, which has earned them a loyal fanbase (dubbed as "SikFuks"). They have played at festivals such as Big Day Out and Wacken Open Air, as well as shows in the United States and Canada. The band provided backing vocals on the Strapping Young Lad album Alien

The band's logo is very similar to that of Trivium, but since both bands were formed in 2000, it could be argued that the similarity is just a coincidence and that neither band is ripping the other off.
