Alternative pop-cum-rock with an intriguingly eclectic set of influences. You've got a vocalist with one of those bleeting, mannered voices once so beloved in the New Romantic pop era. You've got rhythms that take in everything from drum loops to full tilt rock hit bashes. You've got funk feel ("Justification") one moment, get pop ballads ("All To You") the next. They might have a name suggesting a bunch of hairy dinosaurs but in fact they sound like the ultimate student band able to please student bar crowds anywhere though with lyrics which don't hide their spiritual message.
