Bio:

The legendary AOR band Bad Habit formed in Lund, Sweden in 1986 by Hal Marabel and now ex-keyboard player Doc Pat Shannon. They released their first album (mini-album) ‘Young & Innocent’ in 1987 and were actually the first band to get an independantly produced music video aired on Swedish national TV. The video was of their first ever single release ‘Need Somebody’.The band have since released 7 albums, their latest of them released in 2005, entitled [hear-say].

Album:

Recorded in 1989, released in Japan in 1996.Included insert and catalog MVP (View photos)A discussion on Scandinavian AOR would be incomplete without mention of Malmo based outfit Bad Habit. Timing their run through the 80's and dodging hair-metal bullets along the way, this classy five-piece straddled the fence between hair-metal and AOR, ending up like a cross between Danish boys *Fate*, Norwegians *Davinci* and fellow Swedes *Glory*. They did have an intriguing sound, enhanced by Hal Johnsto's *Brian May* like guitar lines. Signed to Sony/CBS for a 6 track demo called 'Young And Innocent' released in 1988, the band traded labels and moved to Virgin Records for the release of their debut album in 1989 called 'After Hours'.Bad Habit's credentials are given rock-solid endorsement on their opening cut 'Living On The Edge'. A racy number with a swag of keyboard and guitar melodies competing with each other. 'Rainbow' follows a path similar to *Davinci* and features a gorgeous chorus. 'Do't Stop' is a blatant attempt at party rock, while an album like this would be incomplete without a soaring ballad of which 'Never Find Another You' fits the bill perfectly. One of the best moments here is the melody drenched 'Rowena', for which there is a video for it. 'The Winner Takes It All' is another racy up-tempo affair, and to end the album, the band deliver the *Boston* classic 'More Than A Feeling'. Quite cheeky of them to pull this out on a debut record. Not a pinch on the original mind you /(but what is?)/, though it's admirable nonetheless.Bad Habit soldiered on for a few more years, but pulled up short as the onslaught of grunge took over. To their credit, the band reconvened in 1995 for the 'Revolutio' album, plus 1998's 'Adult Orientatio' album.Hal Johnston (aka Hal Marabel) also participated in the pop/metal outfit *Arena* who were prominent during 2003. By 2005, Bad Habit had signed to Frontiers Records for the release of their 'Hear-Say' album. It seems the band are still a going concern, which is good news indeed.

Album:

One of the greatest Melodic rock / AOR acts from the ’80s Swedish scene, BAD HABIT, did a comeback to headline the Swedish AOR Convention, and at the same time released this “After Hours [re-cap] [2-CD Remastered + Unreleased“, a 2-disc set including their celebrated 1989 album ‘After Hours’ freshly remastered plus a bonus track, and an extra CD featuring 2 brand new songs and ton of unreleased tracks from the era, all supervised by the band’s guitarist / producer Hal Marabel.This limited edition released four years ago is already out of print, and as requested by many of you, here’s for all to enjoy.Way back in 1989 Bad Habit release ‘After Hours’, one of the strongest European AOR / Melodic rock albums of the year with a sound in the classic Scandinavian style but also influenced big big names from the genre such as FM, Shy, Boulevard, Strangeways, etc.The singer, Bax Fehling, has an impressive range comparable to vocalists such as Fergie Fredericksen, Tony Mills, or Terry Brock, while the guitarist Hal Marabel delivers solos as impressive as Steve Lukather or Neal Schon. Lush and occasionally “pomp-sounding” keyboards, thanks to Doc Pat Shannon, feature heavily on many songs, while the memorable choruses on tracks such as “Play the Game,” “Rainbow,” “Rowena,” “Don’t Stop,” “Coming Home,” “Living on the Edge,” and “Winner Takes It All” are loaded with grand and rich background vocals.The bonus disc is excellent, with new songs especially recorded for this reissue, plus early 1988 / 1989 unreleased recordings

Bio:

American born guitarist/song writer, Hal Marabel formed this Swedish band back in 1986 together with former band member Doc Pat Shannon. The idea was to create music that mixed hard rock with melodic tendencies from both of their past musical backgrounds. Influences were bands like Journey, Toto, Van Halen and Boston but also other music genres such as Blues and Classical.The next musician to become part of the band was Patrik Södergren (then called Stevie Rose) followed by Bax Fehling and the original drummer Jan Andersson. Jan was replaced by Jaime Salazar shortly after the release of the debut mini-album "Young & Innocent" in 1987. The album was released on CBS (now SONY).In 1989, the band released the eclaimed debut album "After Hours" which made waves in the AOR community. The album was released on Virgin.The band has not played "live" extensively but did gig a lot during 1987-1990. In 1989, the band toured the former Soviet Union extensively. The tour was a major success in all possible ways and led to many new experiences for the band members.In 1989, Bad Habit released a cover version of the old Boston classic "More Than A Feeling".After ‘Above And Beyond’ released in 2008, the band returned with a 'best of' album entitled 'Timeless' which features a collection of songs from the albums - 'Young & Innocent', 'After Hours', 'Revolution' and 'Above And Beyond', as well as two new and previously un-released songs.The brand new album of Bad Habit is ‘Atmosphere’ issued in January 2011 by AOR Heaven Records.

Album:

Things have been awfully quiet in the Bad Habit camp for well over half a decade. Their last full album, Adult Orientation, was released way back in 1998, and since then, not so much as a squeak. You may have been fooled into thinking that Bad Habit had simply called it a day and headed off into the bargain bin corner/over priced collectors section (delete whichever is inapplicable!!!) and joined the land of pathetic day jobs and 9 to 5ers like the rest of (un)civilized humanity.Formed back in 1986 and built around a foundation of AOR/Melodic Rock espoused by the likes of Foreigner, Toto, and Boston, Bad Habit have released a total of five albums with the debut, After Hours, becoming a particular favorite amongst collectors of the genre.Far from being idle, Bad Habit have reconvened with vocalist Bax Fehling, Hal Marabel on guitars/keyboards, Sven Cirnski (lead guitar), Patrik Sodergren (bass), and Jaime Salazar on drums, with the aim of rekindling the creative spark, and Hear-Say is the result.Matters commence with bubbling, swirling synths before the main riff enters the fray and then Bad Habit are soon well into “To Love You,” a song characterised by a silky smooth verse and a killer multi-layered vocal harmony chorus. This is indeed an impressive start, producing the sort of thing AOR aficionados go wild when hearing.“I Swear” continues along the same lines, with a passion-soaked vocal performance from Fehling, topped off by some simple, yet atmospheric, keyboards.The pace drops with the more laid back “All That I Want,” which on first listen strongly resembles the old Climie Fisher chestnut, “Love Changes Everything,” but by the time the ultra catchy chorus winds itself into your head, it has Bad Habit stamped right through it.So far so good then? Well, not quite. Although all the right ingredients are here from memorable hooks, quality vocals and fine harmonies as well as some good songs, there is something that rankles the longer you listen to this album. The album is very beat heavy, which may not sound bad to some. Unfortunately, there is a very 80s electronic drum type sound pervading through the whole album. If a drummer was not mentioned in the credits, you’d swear there is a drum machine there. At times, the bass and “electronic” drums overwhelm what is basically a pretty decent song. Listen to the opening bars of “Reason” for example, for that synthetic rhythm sound … a good song and great vocals by Fehling, swamped by the rhythm section.“Alive” is a great head down AOR rocker with a killer chorus but again the drums and bass mar a potentially great song. Even a screamer of a solo from Cirnski can’t really divert attention from the underlying issues with Hear-Say.The rest of the album follows a similar pattern of good songs tainted by the rhythm section. It’s not that they are performing bad, because they are not, it’s that the sound and style of playing just doesn’t fit in with the songs.If Bad Habit could resolve these issues, they would have an excellent album on their hands, but as it stands at the moment, they are just too much of a distraction to be able to endorse Hear-Say.
