The band is composed of a bassist, a drummer, three guitarists, and anywhere from ten to twenty vocalists comprising a full choir of lead singers. The band's music is somewhat similar in style to late-'70s and '80s metal. The basic song structure employed by the band does away with traditional verses in order to highlight catchy choruses and integrate as many guitar solos as possible. The result has been described by the band as, "taking everything we loved about the genre, and throwing everything out that we hated." The band cites Elvis Presley and Buddy Holly as influences in addition to hard rock/heavy metal bands like Skid Row, Iron Maiden, and Dokken. "I would call us anthem rock," said Alex Necochea. "We're really not heavy metal. I think our focus is more on writing great singles, as best as we can make them. That's just something Bryn and I grew up on. We're big fans of melody and big driving hooks, that sort of thing."
They were originally planned on being called "Pizza Party" but it was already taken.

If you believe in us
Fists up
If you are one of us
We know it starts tonight
We know the time is right
You know that we've become
We're not our father's sons
We are the chosen ones
We will defeat the light
Rebellion starts tonight
Lights out
Let the power guide you
Lights out
Let us be your guide
We know it starts tonight
We know the time is right
You know that we've become
All that's been undone
We're not our father's sons
We are the chosen ones
We will defeat the light
Rebellion starts tonight
We are all the victims
But we've found our way
Penetrate the pain
And you will hear us say
Whoah-oh-oh-oh-ah-oh
We're not our father's sons
We are the chosen ones
We will defeat the light
Rebellion starts tonight
Oh, yeah!

The lyrics "we are all the victims but we've found our way, penetrate the pain and you will hear us say" indicate that the pain and suffering experienced by the individuals have led them to this rebellion.
