An angsty brew of bilious Papa Roach-isms, snotty Billie Joe Green Day vocals and crunching Rage Against The Machine riffage.
Oh, and a bit of 'politics' in there too. The much-heralded Billy Talent utilise well-established nu-metal components, but - in this case - it's a proficient blend of traditional ingredients forging a blinder.
