This has, of course, been good for them as their sound and songs have been developed by this process, and their live show has improved immeasurably. Now the album is finally released, and things are looking up for the band. Their sound is definitely power-pop and there are clear influences from a wide variety of bands although these influences are pooled to form some extremely innovative music. The sound is very contemporary and goes down well live, with Tom Livemore's creative lead guitar parts often claiming a great deal of attention and also bringing on the Pink Floyd and Radiohead comparisons as he melds experimentation with modern rock. The songs are always guitar and bass-driven and are mainly dark and brooding but without a lack in energy.
Good use is made of distortion, delay, and wah.
The lead and rhythm guitars of Tom Livemore and Andy Jennings mesh well with Simon Smith's bass and John Large's drums, giving the songs a certain power. Lyrically, the themes are varied. The band wears its Christian faith on its collective sleeve whilst showing a level of maturity which has come from attempting to live out that faith in their culture. The vocals are strong and passionately sung, Andy Jennings's strong West Midlands accent a change from the usual Liverpool and Manchester accents in British power pop. They have managed to land a mainstream distribution deal, however, and seem comfortable where they are, under no pressure to conform their message to fit in with the standards expected by the CCM industry.
