The group has garnered comparisons to groups such as Motion City Soundtrack and The Faint. They make frequent references to recent popular culture, such as Conan O'Brien{{cite web|url=http://www.jesusfreakhideout.com/cdreviews/GalacticConquest.asp |title=Jesus Freak Hideout's review of Galactic Conquest |publisher=Jesus Freak Hideout |access-date=October 2, 2014}} and Star Wars. Their music and lyrics have stylistic similarities to third-wave emo popular in the 2000s. They are commonly coupled with other Christian punk artists from their genre such as Relient K, Stellar Kart, Hawk Nelson, Philmont, and Capital Lights.

The band has sought to infuse the music with hope rather than maintain the themes of sadness and grief common to this music.[http://www.christianrock.net/artistinfo.asp Artist Profile] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20001218023100/http://www.christianrock.net/artistinfo.asp |date=December 18, 2000 }} at ChristianRock.Net. (Must search to access profile.) Accessed September 9, 2007. Lead singer Matt Langston has said, "You get tired of being yelled at, hearing the same parallels drawn in every song... Knives. Night. Pain. Winter. We have been put here to enjoy the blessings in life, not cry about the curse of our self-inflicted pain. We want to push people past their feelings, passions, and experiences...past their circumstances to see the big picture of God's creation. We want people to feel what He has done for us and wear a smile when they leave our concerts."

Presently, the band no longer identifies itself as a Christian band and defines faith as a personal experience separate from a label placed on their music.{{Cite web|url=http://eleventylife.libsyn.com/episode-39 |title=Eleventylife Podcast Episode 3.9 | publisher=libsyn.com |date=October 13, 2017 |access-date=November 4, 2017}}{{Cite web|url=http://eleventylife.libsyn.com/episode-310 |title=Eleventylife Podcast Episode 3.10 | publisher=libsyn.com |date=October 20, 2017 |access-date=November 4, 2017}}
