Style

The band plays sometimes quite chaotic Emo style. Characteristic are the slow, melancholic parts in her pieces - which are supported by short -acting emerging atmospheric guitar walls - and faster, harder bursts with emotional crying and shouted or half - written text parts. Furthermore, also rather very fast hardcore punk find typical with emotional pieces - partly geschrienem - singing.

Among many Emo and hardcore punk bands the post-hardcore legends Fugazi or the No Wave / Noise rock band Sonic Youth are mentioned as influences.
