They are a very family-friendly band, and do not play heavy metal or “screamo” music. Their genre is more alternative rock and classic rock – their cover song playlist spans quite a range of genres including artists such Weezer, Stone Sour, Neil Young, and even Johnny Cash. They will provide a play list (and lyrics for the original songs) if desired. Let me know if you have any additional questions, or if you would like to meet with the boys at some point.
