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").^{[citation needed]} They have played at festivals such as Big Day Out and Wacken Open Air, as well as shows in the United States and Canada.^{[citation needed]} The band provided backing vocals on the Strapping Young Lad album Alien.^[^{citation needed]}

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 mere coincidence and that neither band is engaging in trademark infringement or copyright infringement.^{[citation needed]}
