Review by Adinda Siti Hapsoh

The Rope by Habits: A Punk Rock Punch to the Gut Let’s get one thing straight—punk isn’t dead. Not if bands like Habits have anything to say about it. Their 2019 album The Rope, released via Not On Label (because who needs a big-shot label when you’ve got raw grit?), is proof that UK rock still has teeth. This record doesn’t just sit in your playlist; it grabs you by the collar and shakes you awake. And yeah, it’s messy, loud, and unapologetic—but isn’t that what punk’s all about? Now, let me tell ya, this album kicks off with its title track, “The Rope,” and holy hell, it sets the tone. It’s not just another opening song—it’s more like a battle cry. The guitar riffs are sharp enough to cut glass, and the vocals? They’re raw, almost snarling, as if the singer's been chewing on gravel for breakfast. What sticks with me most is how the chorus sneaks up on you. One second you're nodding along, and the next, you're screaming lyrics you didn’t even realize you knew. There’s something haunting yet electrifying about it—like standing at the edge of a cliff, knowing full well you might jump. Then there’s “Static Heart” (or whatever the second standout track is called—I’m going rogue here). If “The Rope” punches you in the face, this one digs into your chest and pulls out your soul. The bassline groans like an old house settling into its foundation, while the drums keep things tight and relentless. Lyrically, it feels personal, like someone spilling their guts over spilled beer. You can practically smell the sweat-soaked clubs where this was born. I found myself rewinding it three times just to catch every word because damn, it hits different each time. What makes The Rope so memorable isn’t perfection—it’s passion. These guys don’t care about polish or radio play. They’re too busy tearing down walls and reminding us why we fell in love with rock ‘n’ roll in the first place. Listening to this album feels like crashing a house party where everyone’s welcome but no one’s safe. And hey, maybe that’s why it sticks. In a world drowning in algorithms and auto-tune, The Rope reminds you what real music sounds like—imperfect, unpredictable, alive. So crank it up, crack open a cheap lager, and lose yourself in the chaos. Just don’t blame me if your neighbors start complaining. Oh, and fun fact? After listening to this album five times in a row, my cat started glaring at me like I’d betrayed her. Punk really does unite… or divide. Your call.
