Musical style and influences

The group's music is characterized as pop punk,[17] however heavier than a majority of their peers thanks to a "purer and grittier style" and Duncan's raw and emotional voice.[18] All of the band members have been influenced by pop punk and punk artists while vocalist Tobi Duncan's interests in hardcore music have also shaped the group's sound.[19]
