All swagger and recklessness, Bare Bones bring an intensity to Australian punk/rock that belies the fact that they've only got two EP's under their belt. A suspenseful maelstrom of off-kilter guitars a-la Every Time I Die, this is sweaty and visceral feisty rock music that bears shades of The Bronx at their most relentless.

'Bad Habits' is a natural progression from Bare Bones' two EP releases 'Villians' and 'Cut Throat Living.' There's more melodic dynamics in these songs, but they're balanced by tones and riffs more crushing than ever.
