ABOUT: AFTERLIFE
Vocalist Tyler Levenson, guitarist Andrew McGuire, drummer Luke Walkinshaw and bassist Tristan Edwards—emerged from West Palm Beach, Florida, at the tail end of 2016 with a clear vision of what they wanted to bring to the world with their music. Finding the intersection between Slipknot, Linkin Park and modern hip-hop, the band set out to create something both fresh and familiar.
"Bad Habits" is about realizing that your behavior or vices are negatively impacting the people around you" explains Levenson. "It captures the struggle between denial and self-awareness, ultimately becoming a cry for help. As people, we all struggle with life and the unfortunate circumstances it brings. Sometimes the ways we cope, the ways we "get by" can become harmful, not only to ourselves but to those around us."
He continues, "One of my favorite deliveries in the song takes place in Verse Two, where I intensely describe my battle with denial: Then I put a fake face on, cause I'm headed to a place that I gotta get away from / Can you help me get away from all the pain, the doubt, the fear that traps me here?
The song is a perfect description of how I was feeling on a day-to-day basis at various points in my life.
