Their style has been described as having an experimental Wall of Sound feel, and taking elements from genres such as Noise, Hardcore punk, and Doom metal, mixing light Synth elements, with a heavily distorted guitar tone, slow songwriting, and agression found in hardcore punk.[4] The band is set apart from other peers by the lack of a Bass guitar.[5] Their lyrics include themes of human suffering, and "an extention of their relationship"[6]. Their influences include bands such as Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs, Melvins, Wooden Shjips, and Luminous Bodies.[7]

In 2021 their second studio album, "We spare nothing" was placed in Sun 13's top 50 albums of 2021, coming in 31st place.[8]

In 2024 to coincide with the release of their third studio album, guitarist Thom Longdin constructed and sold 5 fuzz pedals, with 10% of the proceeds for said pedals, and the album, being donated to the NHS Foundation.[9][10]

They are currently signed to Human Worth Records.[11]
