Ben Hines aka Humble Dumpling has a highly anticipated art / hip hop show at the Village Pickle / Bad Habit Records compound, incorporating the infamous Alley come […]
Oratory are hell-bent on pushing the Australian metal scene out of its comfort zone. Their recently released music video for the song ‘Capitulation Genuflect’ shows their unique style and commitment to carving their own path in a local scene that’s been known to stifle originality. We caught up with Nathcöre and got his take on […]
Carnal Viscera
Carnal Viscera are about to bring their technicolor death metal show to Bad Habit Records as part of their east coast tour, joined by The Plague and Unbound. We caught up with the band's head honcho to talk horror movies, gallows humour and stalking cult Australian actors. BAD HABIT: We chatted about how there's a […]
Craig first appeared on my radar just after we left Ipswich. He started posting photos of streetscapes of central Ipswich. It’s nothing new to capture the mundane and neglected through a camera, but the familiarity from growing up in that area and affection the photos had of details of buildings and shopfronts that I’d walked […]

Here is a little interview with Caleb Anderson from Kitty Records, an independent label working on Kabi Kabi and Jinibara lands. Caleb and bandmate Riley Brown started Kitty Records in 2021 to create opportunities for other guitar bands and artists, and to give life to projects that might otherwise have drowned. With their own band […]

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
