...lovingly referred to as "folk-punk". Some primary stylistic influences apparent in this music are the blatant honesty of folk and punk, the ideals and rhythms of soul, the menacing grooves of funk, and the shameless composition of rock. (Indeed an
interesting musical gumbo.)
The chemistry is set ablaze by gina, the guitarist, singer, and primary songwriter, a child of classic rock and hippie-era folk.
The fire is kindled by the melodic rhythms of bassist Cory Wood, who draws on a history of composing and listening to various styles of music in his playing.
Drummer Tim Ost is a technique-freaque who has studied extensively and has been involved in a number of musical projects.
The trio's self-titled release presents a vast mixture of all-original songs, from heartwrenching ballads to explosively tense punk to funky latin lightheartedness, all magically adhering to the band's musical code of (mis)conduct. Otto'
s Jacket applies the diversity equation live, flowing haphazardly from song to song, seemingly mixing musical moods at random.
