Sounds Like:
Our cover songs sound like songs that you know the words to. Our original songs sound like songs you don't know the words to, but can't wait to learn.
Take a listen to Me First and the Gimme Gimme's . Thats the idea that got the ball rolling with White Trash and the Catholics. Our "inspiration", if you will.
Other than that, it's hard to explain who we "sound like". If we come up with a better answer, we'll write it down.
