The group's music employs pop /rock song structures, but uses elements of improvisation, particularly during live performances Their 2014 album Grassed Inn was shortlisted for the Australian Music Prize (AMP).

In 2015 the band's album Illegals in Heaven won best album at the Queensland Music Awards. The song "Palace of Love" was the most played track on Double J digital radio that year.
