Music and lyrics

With Scandinavian Leather Turbonegro returned to a more rock style, continuing that found on Apocalypse Dudes with a development of the 'deathpunk' sound. While the songwriting is reminiscent of that of the Ramones, the sound is more multi-layered, including string arrangements, harmonic backing vocals, arena rock influences and psychedelic undertones, which the band coined "Rainbow Rock", or deathpunk with a pop sensibility.
