Style and Influences
Delorentos are known for their attractive guitar sound full of hooks and harmonies. The band's influences include Arcade Fire, Pixies, The Cure and The Clash. Their musical output has been likened to many modern British bands. The style of their single "Eustace Street", about a troubled love affair set in Dublin's Temple Bar, has been compared to that of Editors, and another single "Stop", influenced by a post-punk sound, has been likened to Bloc Party. The band's second single "The Rules" has been called "a sharp comment on the culture of casual racism". Conlan and Yourell like The Band, whilst Conlan and McCormick like The Redneck Manifesto. Conlan has stated that their earlier music had "a lot more dancey beats to it, but we're always chopping and changing". For instance, at one point the oldest song in the band's set list was "Leave It On" and that was only about eight months old at the time.

Famous quotes containing the words style and/or influences:
“New is a word for fools in towns who think
Style upon style in dress and thought at last
Must get somewhere.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“I am fooling only myself when I say my mother exists now only in the photograph on my bulletin board or in the outline of my hand or in the armful of memories I still hold tight. She lives on in everything I do. Her presence influenced who I was, and her absence influences who I am. Our lives are shaped as much by those who leave us as they are by those who stay. Loss is our legacy. Insight is our gift. Memory is our guide.”
—Hope Edelman (20th century)
