The music is a
powerhouse blend of pop, punk, and rock, driven by forceful guitar
chords, punchy bass lines, and rock-solid rhythms. The songs cover
the broad (that's a pun) spectrum of love, lust, and beer with
a perfect combination of amusingly witty lyrics, memorable hooks,
and melodic vocals. Influences/Similar Artists include The Ramones,
The Replacements, Material Issue, Social Distortion, Elvis Costello,
Violent Femmes, The Kinks, Matthew Sweet, and The Clash. The songs
are powerful, catchy, fast, and FUN.
