Several media outlets have reported that the band formed when the members were inspired by the Mötley Crüe biopic The Dirt, though the band disdains this origin story. The band has been noted for featuring three lead singers on alternating songs, while de St. Aubin and Schrobilgen trade instruments on some songs.

Spin has called the band "one of the most riotous new live bands on the planet." ==Musical style and influences==
