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").[2] 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.[3]
