style
Stefan Gaffory from Ox-Fanzine assigned the band to this genre in an article about noise rock . Victor W. Valdivia from Allmusic also assigned the band to Noise Rock on Nationwide , whereby they come very close to Hard Rock , as you can hear influences from bands like the Rolling Stones and Southern Rock influences. In addition, you can hear influences from sleaze rock and blues rock in various songs . Allmusic's Alex Henderson assigned the band to alternative rock in his review of Shimmer . Occasionally, influences from hard rock and punk would also be processed.
