Their music often features sharp, punchy guitar riffs that are driven by high-gain amps and overdrive effects, evoking a classic punk rock vibe. To achieve their frenetic style, the rhythm section delivers tight, rapid-fire bass lines paired with hard-hitting, rapid drum patterns that sustain the relentless pace of their tracks.
