Bad Habits is a rock/punk/metal band from London, England with various changes in the line up since original formation 1984 by former Leicester band Gypsy members (with albums Gypsy (United Artists Records 1971) (SPM, CD reissue 1994) Brenda And The Rattlesnake (United Artists Records 1972) (CD reissue, SPM 1994)) who decided to go in a heavier musical direction from their original formation and therefore used both names interchangeably with the first heavier sounding single for Bad Habits "Lipstick Queen" released in 1986 on Sniffin’ Rock Magazine (#13 EP in vinyl SR 0010A7) and the release of Gypsy - Future Teller (SPM 1995).
