Style and Lyrical Themes
The band's female-fronted hard rock sound has been compared to Paramore and Evanescence, and Dawn Michele's vocals on Unbreakable have been described as "riveting". Allmusic reviewer Jared Johnson labeled certain tracks as "pulsating rockers", such as the singles "Unbreakable" and "The Hunger"; he described the album's lyrics to be "victorious as a refuge for listeners struggling with loneliness, discouragement, and isolation." Guitarist Justin Cox said, "we push it as heavy as we can without being metal".
The title track "Unbreakable" is based on the Biblical account of Jesus and the woman taken in adultery. Dawn Michele (lead vocalist) said: "the people in charge were ready to kill her, and Jesus speaks up for her, changes their minds and makes them feel ashamed for accusing her. She knows she’s guilty, and yet she’s suddenly free and given a second chance."
