The band were described by The Scotsman as "a seedy 1970s porn baron and his silent but violent henchman playing gutter-trawling, kerb-crawling blues punk with skyscraping vocals and a predilection for the occasional Eddie Van Halen guitar 'lick'", also being described as "testosterone-fuelled bluesy punk". Craig McLean of the Daily Telegraph described the band's music as "garagey-blues". The band have been called a "a Scots White Stripes", but with "much more hidden menace", with songs described as "a mix of Led Zeppelin and 90s American indie", with their style described as "scuzzy experimental rock", a "garage metal cacophony", "aggroglam", and "sleaze-rock" comprising "manic rigging, high-speed drumming and porno lyrics". Andrew Eaton of The Scotsman described them as a combination of "the rock'n'roll basics of the White Stripes with the showy excess of The Darkness".

Famous quotes containing the words musical and/or style:
“Hell is full of musical amateurs: music is the brandy of the damned.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“Everything ponderous, viscous, and solemnly clumsy, all long- winded and boring types of style are developed in profuse variety among Germans—forgive me the fact that even Goethe’s prose, in its mixture of stiffness and elegance, is no exception, being a reflection of the “good old time” to which it belongs, and a reflection of German taste at a time when there still was a “German taste”Ma rococo taste in moribus et artibus.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
