The vocals sound pissed off, snotty, and angry. For a band like this, this is definitely a good thing since the lyrics tend to deal with subject matter such as feeling alienated from the world and not fitting in. \u00a0If I could sum it up in one word, it\u2019d be sincere. \u00a0Would fit in next to Power Trip or Turnstile in your record collection quite nicely.
