'Poor Old Me' is a song about self-destruction, another introspective look at the state of the human condition.
Combining elements of Bring Me The Horizon, Currents, Spiritbox and Underoath, New Habits are already being marked as a new band to watch through the quality of their songwriting and the immediacy of their approach.
Starting in 2020, everything New Habits have created focuses on this attitude - taking negative viewpoints and turning them positive; moving from problem-oriented lyrics to solution-oriented lyrics.
New Habits are fully DIY, managed and self-produced at will, featuring members of Chelsea Grin and I Am Haunted. Their collective life experiences make New Habits an important, real, new voice - experiences that echo throughout the band's music.
Members of New Habits have variously dealt with depressive episodes, existential crisis, drug dependence, anxiety, family bereavement and relapse - all events that could easily lead to nihilism and cynicism. Instead, the band focuses on overturning and overcoming these moments - an attitude that will surely resonate with those looking for hope in their hurt.
Their new single ‘Poor Old Me' (featuring Charlie Rolfe of As Everything Unfolds) is a powerful perspective on someone caught in the vicious cycle of self-sabotage. Blending together the band’s gritty instrumentals, Charlie and Aaron’s raucous screams, and intensely nuanced melodies from both Charlie and Zach, the song also leverages very raw and real lyricism to create a beautifully tragic piece of music. Listeners who have experienced self-sabotage personally or within others will surely find something strong to connect with throughout this single.
