Musical style and influences

[edit | edit source]

The group's music has been characterized as pop punk,[16][17] melodic hardcore,[18][19] skate punk[20][21] and post-hardcore[22][23] however heavier than a majority of their peers thanks to a "purer and grittier style", Duncan's raw and emotional voice and their punk (rather than pop)-leanings.[24][25] All of the band members have been influenced by pop punk and punk artists while vocalist Tobi Duncan's interests in hardcore punk and metal music and Bostock's ska influence have also shaped the group's sound.[26][27] The band have also cited influences from bands such as Have Heart, Trophy Eyes, Turnstile, La Dispute, Can't Swim, Movements,[28] Title Fight,[29] the Misfits, the Sex Pistols,[30] Rise Against, Thrice, Blink-182,[31] Polar Bear Club[32] and Sum 41.[19] Duncan has cited the poets W. B. Yeats and Emily Brontë as a major influence on his lyric writing.[33]
