GUIDE TO BOOKING GIGS IN NAMBOUR
Nearly every day we get DMs and emails asking if we can put on Nambour gigs for bands. Probably we can't right now. Bad Habit is slowing down on doing shows. But we'd still love to see you play here, so here's a guide to booking your Nambour gig. Hopefully it helps. [Featured image: Double-Sided […]
CIMITERIUM
Melbourne stenchcore luminaries Cimiterium are headed to Nambour for the Bad Habit Birthday weekend, fresh off their tour of Europe alongside Katorga. We caught up with vocalist Myles about keeping the crusty dream alive in the modern world… BAD HABIT: Hello Myles, how are you? How was the European tour from a few months back? […]
WIFECULT
Wifecult play on Thursday 18 April at Bad Habit / Old Ambo with Melbourne rude punks GLEN, Big Pineapple Custodians Extrafoxx and local inventors of Rock n Roll WORK?
MALIGNANT AURA
Malignant Aura have emerged from the depths of Naarm’s metal underworld to unleash death and doom alongside Melbourne colleagues Carcinoid, Brisbane’s SLOWCUT and Cerebral Erosion for one night only at The Presynct in Nambour. We spoke to Chris Clark, one of the masterminds behind Malignant Aura, about inspiration, triumph and loss. BAD HABIT: Right off […]
@lanceksinclair is djing this Saturday morning in the shop. Lance is an underground lifer and singer for @grieg_the_band .
Come in on sat!!
The brutality continues. Sorting through records to go this Saturday. If you're new here, here's the deal. We put new stuff out on Saturday mornings at 9am. Locals get first go for all of Saturday, then Saturday late afternoon the leftovers go live on the webstore. Don't dm asking for holds or anything like that. Don't be an annoying nerd.
Cheers.

And @sorrystate for Americans. Big love to all the independent stores who take our releases. You guys are legends and centres of underground scenes.
There's a Brisbane launch on October 28th @thebeardedladywestend with Exit Ploom , @pisssshivers and @oratory666 . Presented by @r.i.ppeace
Brisbane punk had a real golden era in the early/mid 2010s. The explosion of the more commercial side of hardcore in the 2000s had made 100s of teenagers aware of hardcore and the accessibility of the internet and explosion of obscure punk blogs had drawn them past the bigger rock star type bands into the weird and wild world of underground punk. Brisbane was also lucky enough to have a loose all ages venue that showed kids what total madness was possible once all the grown ups/businessmen types left the room and let the real heads run wild.
Out of that era came some total world class hardcore. Shackles, Last Chaos and Sick People were all total powerhouses in this era. There was one more band. A total sore thumb in the hardcore scene, but just as important and vital. That band was Black Deity. Some drug damaged maniacs playing bluesy punk. They still had cats going crazy and, personally, I saw them a bunch of times high as shit, and they always blew me away.
Black Deity released a Demo and 7", recorded an album, played a bunch of shows, drunk a bunch of beers, pulled a bunch of cones, took a bunch of pills then broke up. With the LP never coming out.
Now 10 years later, finally, the album can see the light of day.
Nine songs of sleazy blues punk tunes about self destruction and love and love lost. Think Black Sabbath for an obvious comparison, or Sir Lord Baltimore, Pentagram or Mayblitz.
@blackdeity1r
