The Songs of Butler & Cupples debut with Bad Habits, a pop-rock statement that puts songwriting first. Driven by craft, collaboration, and emotional clarity, not image or hype.
More of a creative framework than a traditional artist, The Songs of Butler & Cupples put songwriting first. Bad Habits, released via S16 Music, is direct, melodic, and unfiltered, driven by grunged guitars and a commanding vocal that balances raw edge with modern polish.
There’s a quiet confidence to Bad Habits, moving between pop, rock, and grunge with ease. Uncluttered writing and a timeless feel let melody and attitude speak for themselves.
While Bad Habits marks the public launch of the project, its creators are anything but new. Butler & Cupples (J Butler & G Cupples), are long-standing industry writers whose work has long been in the background of major television, sport, and international programming.
That experience shows in the restraint and focus, music designed to connect, not compete.
At its core, The Songs of Butler & Cupples is about creating space for songs that matter. Bad Habits sets that tone; built for longevity, not the moment.
