The raw lo-fi grunge nature of their 3min songs, which has seen some what of a revival of late with acts like The Black Kids, Mazes, Teenage Lovers now on the scene, resonate that growing up teenage mix of angst and love, garage indie and pop. Think old Weezer/Pavement style.

Expect fast paced guitars with a Southern American twang about them, punk style drums and brilliant tinny vocals a la The Black Lips.

With sounds similar to The Soft Pack and The Black Lips, its a summer 60s surf vibe all the way, love it!
