about

Heavy Habit evolved from a pop up performance piece on the roadsides of Great Barrier Island early last summer. A new project for Toni Kendall and Elise Bishop, responding to a decade of residing on Aotea (as HH prefer to call it), Heavy Habit continue to provoke diverse reactions and encourage dialogue just by making a bit of noise. Heavy Habit love doing live, and won't stop.

"Big drumming and distant singing brings out the wilder side of this rock music which you could call by a number of different names: outsider, weirdo, art, etc. As the cymbals continue to crash, this sound comes out that I can't quite place but it's kind of like demons trapped somewhere mixed with scratching a record. I'm not sure but it adds an interesting aspect to the sound. I actually looked up Heavy Habit on Discogs and they are a duo. So you have to imagine one person using things I don't know much about to create "noise" (which is a term I use broadly) and the other is drumming along to it.

As the sound changes to more of a destruction based feel, yelling can be heard and it's just got this feeling of... it's something that if you're seeing live and Heavy Habit is opening for an artist you came to see and you might not be familiar with them, this could make you rather uncomfortable. And that's not a bad thing because music should bring out emotion in you no matter what emotion it is. Sometimes music can have that power of fear and I think that should be utilized more often, especially in a live setting."
