Raw, melodic, edgy, acoustic rock. The songs are based strongly around the lyrics, which range from the personal to the political. They're (sometimes painfully) honest and to the point.

"Incredible stuff. He's your 'New Favourite Artist'. He's my new favourite artist, I'll tell you that right now......I'm going to play another song from him, 'cos that is just too good."
