The Songs of Butler & Cupples, a songwriting-first initiative led by two seasoned industry writers, make a striking entrance with their debut single ‘Bad Habits’. The track balances pop, rock, and grunge, opening with a gritty guitar riff before giving way to a polished vocal performance that anchors the song’s emotional weight.
Rather than chasing trends or image, the project prioritises substance and timeless songwriting. Bad Habits is immediate yet enduring, combining tension, attitude, and melodic clarity in a way that feels relevant both now and a decade from today. The restrained, confident production reflects the duo’s extensive experience across television, sports broadcasts, and international projects, allowing the song itself to take centre stage.
‘Bad Habits’ is a statement of intent. In an era often dominated by hype, The Songs of Butler & Cupples remind listeners that great songs speak for themselves.
