Part of the original concept of Bad Habit Records was to delve into the past of Australian underground music and dig out important releases and reissue them with a real eye to keeping the atmosphere of the original time and circumstances.
The first Helta Skelta LP was self released and sold out quickly. The cryptic cover is aesthetically pleasing, but also has the aesthetics of 1 thousand bugs crawling all over your skin. The music is this 60's garage inspired punk but played with the aggression of hardcore. The guitars are nearly surf rock at times, minimal distortion. The vocals are beamed in directly from the dimension of angry father yelling at his crying family for not turning off the lights or putting the water back in the fridge.
