The Songs of Butler & Cupples make a striking entrance with their debut single ‘Bad Habits’, a pop-rock statement that proves substance still reigns supreme. Eschewing the usual spotlight, the project operates as a creative framework focused on songwriting first, a philosophy that places melody, emotion, and craft above image or hype.
‘Bad Habits’ opens with a grungy, hard-hitting guitar riff that immediately sets a bold, edgy tone, before giving way to a captivating vocal performance that is both raw and polished. The track walks a careful line between pop, rock, and grunge, balancing grit with contemporary production that complements rather than competes with the song itself. Its melody grabs you from the first listen, while underlying tension and attitude lend it a sharp, memorable bite.
While ‘Bad Habits’ is the project’s public debut, the writers behind it are far from novices. With years of experience shaping music for television, sports broadcasts, and international programming, their expertise shines in a song that is meticulously crafted yet effortlessly engaging.
At its core, The Songs of Butler & Cupples is about creating space for authentic expression, and ‘Bad Habits’ is a confident first chapter. It’s music designed to resonate, not to chase trends, a reminder that great songs, above all, speak for themselves.
