The group is identified with alternative rock, hard rock, post-grunge and rock, and its sound also includes country, metal and more acoustic elements.
Formation and recording

Notable work
The band has three number-one singles on the Mainstream Rock Chart. It also provides the full soundtrack for the video game Indigo Prophecy, also known as Fahrenheit. Its fourth album, The Truth Is.., includes the song “I Lied About Everything”, which is inspired by Connolly’s divorce in 2010.
