Style

The band had a great influence on the later emerging so-called Screamo. The band is often associated with this genre it myself.

When label Three Records On G is to be read to the style:

" At Antioch Arrow album or performance is an overwhelming art explosion of noisy poems sprayed in your face in one minute bursts. Sort of like someone emptying cans of Mace in your eyes. "

The style of Antioch Arrow is often referred to as a kind of hardcore, which should help draw attention to the experimental, self- reflective character of Emoband in relation to the normal hardcore.
