Bad Habit Records started with a totally unplanned release.
In the second version of the Bad Habit retail shop in Ipswich City, every Saturday a local guy would come in and proceed to tell us how shit all the records we had were. If you've ever worked in a record shop you'll understand how you grow a pretty high tolerance for punishers and wacky regulars. But one Saturday I cracked it at this guy and said he can't come in here and bag everything out until he's produced something that blows everyone else away.
The guy laid low for a few weeks and didn't come in, at which point I started to feel a little guilty and wondered if my response had been too harsh. Turns out I shouldn't have worried. A few weekends later, he comes in with a box of tapes. He'd recorded a demo. A homemade one-person demo just using free to download programs. And it's actually some half-decent programmed drums death thrash.
As I looked at one of the pixelated ink jet printed covers he'd made for the tapes, I noticed it said Bad Habit Records #1. Hence a label was born. Old mate earned his right to be an annoying punisher I'd say.
Release date - August 2018
Print run - 100 I think
Format - Cassette Tape
Listen - Return To The Sewer, by Clone Mutant
Encierro "Doomsday Still Bleeds Red" LP
Seven songs of dark crust played in the key of despair. Encierro formed in the wake of Australia's savage Black Summer bushfires, an intense and catastrophic fire season that consumed large parts of the country in late 2019 and early 2020. The cover artwork for this LP is inspired by this horrific event, which wiped […]
Oratory — Inner Pyre 7 inch
After the great plague, Oratory reformed with a clear vision to forge Sepultura's Chaos AD with Celtic Frost, Discharge, Neurosis and Abscess into some hardened weapon-grade steel in the form of three songs. Hence the Inner Pyre EP spews forth from the gates of Brisbane City, resulting in some of the best extreme songs to […]
Gudgeon — Self Titled LP black vinyl
How does one describe Gudgeon? They have existed as a band for nearly a decade. They have been jamming and writing songs that whole time. In isolation, they evolved. Like some sort of Galapagos Island music project. Their closest relatives would be the already weird and outsider brands of punk. Think Nomeansno, Man Is The […]
7"s up on webstore now. Go check it out or swing by the shop today til 5.30.
Just a little information post about today.
We are open til 5.30. Cranking the new @djmourn album and watching horror movies. If your on the guest list go to the castle rave launch.
Our buddies in Rockhampton / Yeppon are having a Palestine benefit gig with the best punk bands from the Rocky area playing. If you`re around that area, get along. Regional Queensland is a hostile enviroment to any underground culture so give these cats some support.
Folk meltdown Slim Krusty is playing at Lantana in Caloundra. Get to that if you like folk,pingers and punk.
Also there`s a big Drum and Festival in Nambour. With an after party at the Presynct.
Transmission over.
New Mural for the upcoming Gaoled show. Painted by the big Swak.
Every young hardcore punk kid that comes through the shop is losing their shit about this show. It`s really 4 of the best current heavy bands in Australia. Expect brutality and madness. But also expect the best friendly vibes you`ve ever experienced. It`s the dichotomy of Nambour underground music on full effect.
Brought to you by the pillars of underground insanity @teamglassesrecords @antivision.aus and us.
Get your tickets asap. We`ve been getting close to selling out the Black Box. This might be the first one we do? Don`t miss out.

We now have a sock section. As a teenager one of the greatest places to go was the oddball t-shirt shop in the old half empty mall. 15 different Iron Maiden designs, those shirts with every classic UK punk band printed all other the front, velcro wallets with a weed leaf and rasta colours. Anything your young heart desired. In an effort to replicate that vibe, here`s some Misfits, Slipknot, Mayhem and Cannibal Corpse socks. Instore and on the webstore.
Gig announcement. Hear ye, Hear ye. Medieval peace punkers are touring on their new record Confere, released on Relapse Records.
Joining them will be @slowcutband @workquestionmark (launching their 1st tape) and @flail.sludge
Get your tickets via the link tree in the bio.
