Every Avenue - Bad Habits

There are plenty of bad habits in modern pop-rock music today. Cliché lyrics, tired formulas, and excessive autotune are just a few examples that have recently plagued such pop-rock acts like All Time Low, Mayday Parade, and The Maine. Thankfully, Every Avenue avoid each pitfall on their third album, Bad Habits. The 10 tracks display a remarkable improvement from the Michigan quintet from their previous two releases, as they flex some aggressive guitar work and refined songwriting while maintaining their knack for writing catchy pop hooks.

Bad Habits

Visitors to the Universal Studios theme park in Los Angeles this Halloween should prepare to be scared, Alice Cooper-style. According to NME.com, the Alice Cooper Welcome to My Nightmare attraction is a “spooky” maze containing snakes, spiders, guillotines and electric chairs. It will be at Universal only for this year’s Halloween season, from September 23 to October 31.
Universal Studios creative director John Murdy said: “As a life-long Alice Cooper fan who’s been motivated and inspired by his craft, I am absolutely thrilled by this incredible opportunity. It’s a nightmare come true.”
The maze also will preview music from Cooper’s new album, Welcome 2 My Nightmare, to be released on October 17.
Cooper said in a statement that the ride “is a nightmare that will haunt visitors’ dreams for a long time to come… [It’s a] living horror movie, so there’s no place more appropriate to offer a preview of the new [record].”
