Style
The band's sound is similar to what happens with similar bands, often mistakenly associated with emocore. In fact, their style combines rapid, harmonious and catchy post-hardcore with harder crying and very melodic vocals of singer Thomas Prescott.
In their style, the band is often compared to commercially successful bands like Thrice. In addition, more or less stronger alternative is to recognize rock or emocore influences.
