1) Bad Habit is… Read Full Bio ↴There are multiple artists with the name Bad Habit.
1) Bad Habit is a Swedish hard rock band founded in 1986. Also see Bad Habit Sweden.
2) Like many great punk records, this one’s almost over before it starts. While this isn’t quite great, it does cover all the hardcore bases: fast, loud, aggressive. The four song demo clocks in at just 5:39, but it lets up very little over that time. Bad Habit draws a lot from Minor Threat with just a slightly looser approach a la early Black Flag. They throw in a bit more melody on "Cancer" and it sows the seeds of being more than just another young punk band playing fast and angry. Remembering that this is a demo, a preview of the future so to speak, and that they’ve only been together about six months, it’s an exciting listen. The production is acceptable, but not exceptional and the performance is passionate and honest. Lyrically, they cover the typical topics of frustration, alienation and family breakdown and while the lyrics aren’t poetry (c’mon, it’s hardcore not folk music), they’re heartfelt. To keep things from getting too serious (something so many hardcore bands forget to do), they also throw in "Israeli Girl," an ode to the girl of their dreams, Natalie Portman. I wonder if she’s heard it..." just to make things clear though...natalie portman is all me (joe)

Let Me Tell You
Bad Habit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No need to hide or tell me lies
`Cos I
already know the story
They say love's a game that we play
Where we all try to find a way
To get what we want and not be sorry
So don't act like it's all innocent
I can see the way you're moving it
Let me tell you, let me tell you
You're not fooling anyone
Let me tell you, let me tell you
It's time to stop pretending like you're all alone

I can see it in the look in your eyes
Your eyes reflect the pain and suffering you're going through which is visible to me
No need to hide or tell me lies
You don't have to pretend or deceive me, I already understand what you're experiencing
Cos I know exactly what you're going through
I have experienced the same struggle as you, and that's how I can relate to your situation
