Bad Habits Are Just Plain Bad

It’s been a while since I’ve heard something this God awful that compelled me to type about it. I’m usually content to let dog crap lie where I find it, but this, is . . . . special.

According to the bands long winded and tedious bio Bad Habits is, “Made up of 3 immortal Characters that are: a 999year old half vampire half human Man who has the blood essence of every major military figure and martial artist in history flowing through his veins: the son of the devil who is trying to win back his redemption from his unfortunate birth and an invincible “east meets west” warrior princess who keeps the peace between the other 2 so that they can protect the world from untold evil in its many guises and disguises…” and that’s just part of it. Too bad they couldn’t find a talented musician in the half dead world to help.

Also according to the bands bio, “Bad Habits currently have 5 self released albums out on iTunes International and physically on Amazon.com.”

God help us all. The end times have truly arrived. FIVE albums worth of this odious caterwauling. I mean I perused what is supposedly the best material on their reverbnation page and it sucked liked cats being slowly killed in a dryer.

The vocal on “Sons of Anarchy” sounds like Mr. Red Butane (really?) has a throat and ear infection and chose not to wear his headphones while doing the take to avoid the possibility of catching lice. Maybe he’s the lucky one who can’t tell how bad he sounds. Or they got a cut rate sound engineer who’s tone deaf and reasonably priced. A pitch shifter wouldn’t have hurt, neither would some reverb, and getting a different singer altogether would probably be the band’s best move.

Glo Butane does a better job with the vocal duties but the material is so laughably bad, it’s just painful to sit through. I imagine this is what they play for Al Queda detainees for weeks on end before actually asking them a question or offering them a cigarette. I see that they refer to themselves as punk rock, but not sure how or why. If it’s because they don’t care how bad they sound, well they are truly old school. Bravo.

Otherwise, I’m at a loss for what might make them punk, other than they think they are punk because they own a Green Day CD or something.

Bad Habits are again a self described 3 piece Vampire Erotic Rock band which sound as if they’re about to go off the rails at any moment. If only they would careen headlong into something quiet once and for to give it a rest. They have 82,000 likes on Facebook. Further proof that no one is paying attention to anything anymore.
