Their songs are deep reaching and deal with subject matters such as love, drug addiction, self hate, mental health, and current affairs. Their sound mixes pop and hard rock with a grunge edge. Some of the band's melancholic songs exhibit vocals similar to those of Peter Gabriel or Roger Daltrey. On their more upbeat songs, they have been likened to U2 and sometimes, Pink Floyd, Phil Collins, Genesis, The Fray, and Nirvana.
