Buckle up because “Bad Habits” by Reckless Coast is a coastal anthem that rides the waves of their pub-rock persona. Picture a beachside bar with a live band cranking out tunes that make you forget your worries and you’ve got this rollicking track that gets the legs moving.

Despite the visceral energy that pumps out the song’s subject matter is a contrast to a hedonistic song. Frontman Jaeden Ogston’s lyrics dive into the messiness of toxic routines, hitting you like a sudden realization after one too many drinks. Produced by Cody McWaters, the track’s arrangement is a sun-soaked blend of surf rock with a smattering of garage. While it’s a foot-stomping good time, you can’t help but sense a hidden depth, a musical undertow waiting to pull you into uncharted waters.

“Bad Habits” is a wild ride, leaving us eager to see where Reckless Coast’s musical mischief takes us next. “Bad Habits” boasts a raucous arrangement that’s tighter than your grandma’s knitting. The guitars drive the song, the drums pummel away with veracity, and Jaeden’s vocals soar like a bird in flight. The song’s pull and push leaves you happily caught in the middle.

Instrumentally, the track is a carnival of hooky riffs and rhythm, with enough sonic surprises that allude to other good-time rock groups like Hockey Dad, The Darkness and even early Hoodoo Gurus. The mood is a delightful mix of doubt and exuberance. “Bad Habits” vibe oscillates between punchy and melodic, delivering a musical slap that feels both gritty and polished. You’d be hard done to find something not to like about “Bad Habits”.

A “Bad Habits” like this may not be such a bad thing if it means Reckless Coast creates music that is a rebellious celebration, a rock anthem that invites you to scream out your frustrations and stomp your feet in glorious defiance.
