Style

[53] [54] The band disagree with the stereotyping, pointing to the fact that they formed by themselves—they are not the product of a record producer—and they play their own instruments. [55] [56] They have been inspired by McFly, Blink-182, Ed Sheeran, Mumford & Sons, [1] Taylor Swift, [57] and Justin Bieber. [58]
