The music that this band makes is really weird, sort of a fusion between new metal and some alternative band like for example Jane´s Addiction (I am saying this mostly because of the vocals. The guitars are heavy, specially on the choruses and they play dissonant phrases here and there like bands in ths tyle of Korn could do (but they are completely different from this band). Here there are a lot of maniac guitar solos and guitar atmospheres. I don´t like too much the vocals...I think that a stronger vocalist or someone with a different range could have given the band a needed extra power. One of the fundamental things here are the choruses which have a lot of hooks (almost poppish in some songs).

Favorite tracks: "Whole world´s insane", "Hitches" and "Drops of Miracle".
