Described as a "New York-style art rock band,"[2] The Gunga Din combined a Farfisa organ and psychedelic music-inspired drumming.[1] Its debut album was described as "an equal blend of post-punk and new wave" with occasional psychobilly influences[4] and was compared to the works of the bands such as the Doors, X and Suicide.[3] The band's second studio album also drew comparisons to the works of PJ Harvey and The Velvet Underground.[5]
