At face value, we've always called ourselves "cabaret rock," in that we take a lot of influence from the cabaret movement of the early 20th century, as well as traditional elements of rock and roll. In a lot of ways, the cabaret-burlesque community of that time carried a lot of the same values as the punk rock movement that followed it - women's liberation, freedom of sexual expression, and anti-establishment narratives.
Beyond that, all of us come from vastly different musical backgrounds with hugely different influences - including mariachi, jazz, blues, metal, post-hardcore, hip-hop - which is why we're hesitant to confine ourselves to one genre. Ultimately, we'll leave deciding what we are up to you, the listener.
