Bad Habbit (the intentional misspelling supposedly stood for Beers and Buds) popped up out of the Parkrose area, and this demo, "Overdose", from 1989 presents five tracks of thrash metal that also have some elements of traditional heavy metal. One of the things I find most interesting about this demo is that it was recorded in the KGON studios, and was cleverly produced by someone named Buck Futts.
I'm not sure if all copies had this issue, but the labels on my tape were reversed. Side 1 label was on side 2 and vice versa. The labels also contained a nice statement of caution that the recording contains the word "fuck".

The inlay mentions that people should be on the lookout for an upcoming Bad Habbit LP titled "Just Say Yes". I spent some time trying to track down contact info on the internet for the band members, but came up empty in my quest to find out what happened with that planned LP. Did the band break up before it could come to fruition, or did it get recorded prior to a break up and there's a reel just collecting dust somewhere?
I'm not sure if any of these guys are still playing music today, but Bill Brewer went on to play in Arachnid, and Marq Lawler spent some time in Anger Management.
