Sounds Like:
We'd describe it as a rock band, or a pop group.
Definitely a spazz-rock/pop-punk 'outfit', with progressive leanings.
If you think that a little confusing, reviewers have said we sound like this:

"...they actually sound like early Yes albums being played at 78rpm by The Boomtown Rats, very cool"
(Brixton Windmill)

"..taking Guitar drenched alternative rock and giving it the explosive energy of The Blood Brothers... These guys can't sit still for one second, and when listening neither can you! Fusing the driving force of Dinosaur Jnr. with the sonic punch of Pavement...."
(Subba-Cultcha)

"...an almost unfathomable fusion of Prince, The Bee Gees, Oscar Peterson and Motörhead"
(Wired)

"they sound like Sparks, Prince and the Cardiacs folded, torn apart then stuck together with gaffer tape (and also given heavier distortion pedals for Christmas...) "
(Black Sheep Bar, Croydon)

"The ‘Nun music gets as close to Cardiacs as possible without resorting to full on passport stealing and identity theft"
(Vanity Project)

"a mash up of Nation Of Ulysses or Make Up, Primus, NoMeansNo and the Dead Kennedys"
(Punknews)

"distil the essences of The Banana Splits, The Slits and the great, lost English thrashers English Dogs into a pot that's framed by the attitude of any one of a hundred inept late 70's New Wave also-rans"
(Logo Magazine)

"like a cross between Primus, The Presidents of The USA and a dodgy b-movie and to top it off the ending reminds me of the Muppet Show band... slightly irratic"
(Die Shellsuit, Die!)

And who are we to argue? U decide!
