Fifty Habit is a creation born from love of music and need for release.
The Major separation between Fifty Habit and other upcoming groups is HEART. When you listen to the lyrics you will realize that this is not pre-pubescent whining about high school heartache or parents who just don't understand. What you will hear is an emotional read on real issues like war, drug addiction, religion and poverty.
Avery possesses a unique mind-grabbing tone in his voice, with a stong sense of purpose and urgency. Jimmy uses his drums as more of a weapon than an instrument and beats you in the head with ground-pounding fills accentuating every word and every note with a beat that begs to be
felt. JD, a veteran of the rock scene and music business, completes the equation by rounding out the band's sound with articulate, punchy, and
driving bass lines making Fifty Habit the three-piece powerhouse they are.
Avery, 23, draws on his past while writing music. He chose the dark path of addiction and self deprecation, spiraling him into a world of jails and rehabs lingering on depression and angst. He has been sober now for two years and he uses music as a way to bury the past and come to terms with life. His influences include Tool, Alice in Chains, a Perfect Circle, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Seether and Chevelle, among others.
Jimmy's drumming has defined the sound of Fifty Habit much the same way a hit single would...people remember it. Jimmy's drums command feet to tap and heads to bop. Jimmy, 17, has been playing the drums for many years and has set the bar for up and coming rock drummers. His influences include Neil Peart, John Bonham, Buddy Rich, Mike Portnoy, Danny Carrey, and
many more. Jimmy currently endorses C & C Drums and Soultone Cymbals.
JD is a veteran of the rock world who stepped in when Fifty Habit lost it's original bassist. JD is on loan to Fifty Habit right now from their good friends, Less The Wiser. He produced the band's first CD, Two Year Flu, and is handling production duties on their next CD, due out in late Spring 2007.
