Bio
Strange Habits is a musical evolution inspired by an endless variety of genres. Band members Eric McGuire, Sheel Doshi, and Eric McCauley combine their musically distinct backgrounds to create an original & authentic sound. Every drum beat and guitar strum, bass riff and solo are created with purpose and Intelligent Design.
Strange Habits has a reputation for putting on an incredible performance. They realize that in order to win the hearts and minds of the crowd, a combination of great music and showmanship is essential. In addition to an elaborate light show, occasional on stage break dancing, and natural skill at working the crowd, this trio of musicians take great pride in what they like to call "the one man band". This original creation of Strange Habits makes the crowds go wild as their drummer ,with great skill and precision, simultaneously plays the drums, guitar, and bass. Their favorite pastime is watching the faces of the other bands as everyone is completely blown away.
Strange Habits believes that without commitment you simply can not have depth to anything. Subsequently you will notice that their music does not fit the all to common category of superficial. Their music is passionate and poetic, intelligent and influential. They live their music and have sacrificed everything to become who they believe they were born to be.
Over the years Strange Habits has expanded from a comfortable local fan base, to a band recognized not only in multiple states across the U.S., but internationally. Some prestigious venues include: St. Andrews Hall, Clutch Cargos, and many more. Recently Strange Habits has focused on playing large festivals where they can rock out. They feed off the energy of a massive crowd and radiate a powerful vibe that gets your heart pounding.

Press Reviews
"Raw, Original, and one day these guys’ll be playing stadiums!"
Mark Storks - Detroit Rock Review

Review: Strange Habits - Self titled LP
Wildys World
Strange Habits is a Detroit-area Rock trio with Funk and Reggae on the brain. Playing the Motown seen for the past seven years and have started to receive some regional and international recognition. Particularly known for an on-stage stunt called “the one man band”, where their drummer plays drums, guitar and bass all at once, Strange Habits strives to put on a great show to complement great music. Eric McGuire (bass, vocals); Eric McCauley (guitar, vocals) and Sheel Doshi (drums, vocals, keys) look not just to entertain you, but to immerse you in their own distinct musical culture. Their self-titled album, released in 2009, has much to offer.
Strange Habits opens with Sunshine Wrecking Ball, a Reggae inspired rocker with a vibrant bass line and an almost mellow-Sublime vibe. Silence Of Stone is a big guitar rocker reminiscent of early Pearl Jam. The highlight of the disc is Butter Noodles, with its grunge feel, pop hooks and vibrant rhymes. Butter Noodles is bound to be a concert favorite and may have real commercial potential. Nature opens with a ska-feel before turning into a churning rock guitar bridge. Strange Habits finds a grungy-punk sound for Bullets In My Pocket, a song about a disturbed individual with a mission of revenge, before closing out with the acoustic Take Over My World, a pleasant and lively listen.
Strange Habits has a very home-grown feel to their music, inspired by Reggae, Grunge, Folk and a bit of Punk. Their self-titled debut album is a pleasant listen that refuses to sit still or fall into one category. Strange Habits is definitely worth spending some time with.

Very entertaining, these boys throw the audience on a high energy rollercoaster while still managing to mellow out every so often. Great songs with fantastic melodies leave them with a distinctive defined sound. A truly great bunch of musicians to work with, Strange Habits rock!
