Here's a fascinating piece of Canadian rock history that deserves more attention than it's received over the years. The Monks' "Bad Habits" from 1980 represents a perfect snapshot of that transitional moment when classic rock was evolving into new wave and power pop. This Toronto quintet had serious chops - they'd been kicking around the Ontario scene since the mid-70s, and by the time they landed this Harvest deal, they'd developed a tight, melodic sound that balanced hooks with harder rock sensibilities. The album features some genuinely memorable songwriting, particularly on tracks like "I Don't Wanna Go Home" and the title cut, which showcase their ability to craft radio-friendly material without sacrificing their edge.
