Their sound has been described as "Frank Sinatra meets the Clash," as "Harry Connick, Jr., meets Fishbone,"[4] and as "Somewhere between the Jam and James Bond."[5] A review of Slick Night Out in Billboard compared their sound to the Beautiful South and the Crash Test Dummies.[6]

gollark: <@114827439070248961> Why?
gollark: So this is a mess. PotatOS is actually shipping a mildly different ECC library with a different curve because steamport provided the ECC code ages ago.
gollark: I mean, what do you expect to happen if you do something unsupported and which creates increasingly large problems each time you do it?
gollark: <@151391317740486657> Do you know what "unsupported" means? PotatOS is not designed to be used this way.
gollark: Specifically, 22 bytes for the private key and 21 for the public key on ccecc.py and 25 and 32 on the actual ingame one.
