Sounds Like: Proto-punk...the like...the Velvets and Modern Lovers uhh with umm... mixed with uhh 60's garage rock tendencies such as ? and the Mysterians and at other times I'd say that we have umm... a heavier post-punk feel with also moments of umm i gues it'd be like Elliott Smith/Johnny Thunders acoustic...uhh acoustic self-reflective type songs and the lyrics...a mixture of heavy Richard Hell and Jonathan Richman influences in terms of the tendencies in the lyrics...and definately a Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd guitar playing influence here and there I'd say...(Harlow continues to ramble half stoned...)
