are known for performing music with shifting tempos, creative chord progressions, unorthodox songstructures, and
surreal lyrics. The group was set apart from other contemporary acts by Hersh's stark, candid writing style; Donelly's
pop stylingsand vocal harmonies; and David Narcizo's unusual drumming techniques eschewing use of cymbals.
