* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The two EP’s, ''Welcome'' and ''Meat'', have little to none resemblance to their later output. Their debut self-titled EP from 2011 is straight-up indie rock with virtually none of the hardcore elements present, and Joe is also singing in a much cleaner tone rather than the HarshVocals he would become known for later.

While their output could be classified as punk, and many publications/promoters refer to them as such (with the promoters of Athens Rocks festival even going as far as to label them “the saviors of Punk”) the band have publicly denounced this label, with Joe Talbot going as far as to proclaim on stage that “for the last time, we aren’t fucking punk!”.
