Musical style


The band's music is mainly described as noise rock.[3][5][6] Pitchfork Media reviewer Andy O'Connor noted the influences of Melvins, Helmet, Karp, Pissed Jeans, and Amphetamine Reptile Records artists.[3] The band also incorporates sludge in its sound.[6]

The band also collaborated with many figures of the noise rock scene. The band's first EP was mastered by Harvey Milk drummer Kyle Spence[11] and their sophomore EP was produced by Ryan Boesch, who worked with various acts such as Melvins, Fu Manchu, Helmet and Foo Fighters.[5]
