They are influenced by The Rolling Stones, The Stooges, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Doors, Sex Pistols, Ramonesand 1980s British acts like Spacemen 3and especially The Jesus and Mary Chain. Their style also encompassed slower paced psychedelicdreamy grooves influenced by shoegazers like My Bloody Valentineand Ride. Recently, with their third record , they developed a new sound somewhere between blues, folk, gospeland rock, but still with their old melancholy. Caught up in the hype of the Music-press fueled 'New Rock Revolution' which included The Strokesand Kings of Leonin 2001 to 2003, the band quickly separated themselves from the others in both sound and image.
