If the name of the band gives off a Starflyer 59 vibe, you would kind of be right. The guitars often start off reminding me of early Velour 100 at first – but with male vocals. You also hear some Gold-era SF59 influence as well as some emo influence. They seem to mostly forgo the wall of guitar sound of many shoegaze bands of the era, but I don’t know if that was the choice of the band or a limitation of a demo recording. Songs like “To Be Me” even have a slight hint of 80s alt rock thrown into the mix. Ever so slightly, though.
