The lineup has been consistent since their formation: Frank Hill on bass, Ishdent Rodriguez (ex-Social Fucks) making his debut on guitar, and Noah Goldberg (ex-Project Mexico) on drums. Vocal duties are split roughly evenly between the three members.
Their sound incorporates aggressive and fast chord changes of early hardcore a la Minor Threat, the speed and chugging of thrash, and misanthropic and noisy Flag-esque guitar work. The vocals vary between pained screaming and angry yelling, often with complex internal rhyme and rhythm structures subtly borrowed from classic Hip Hop. The subject matter of their songs often embody the band's philosophy of nihilist-but-optimist and other lofty anxieties, but don't shy around from baser, more concrete matters (example: Urinal Shy.)
