Our influences are many and varied, and differ greatly from one menber of the band to another. The Cure was a major influence, especially in our early years. Disintegration still stands among the greatest albums ever. We all agree on that. Some other bands and musicians that have had an influence on us:

Corey (guitar, vocals)

Here are my personal influences that have helped shape the type of guitar parts I play and write, and even, in part, the lyrics: Breaking Benjamin, Smile Empty Soul, Seether, Staind, Alice in Chains, Jimmy Eat World, Three Days Grace, FlyLeaf, Incubus

Axel (drums)

Within Temptation, Meg & Dia, Lacuna Coil, Mute Math, Catherine Wheel, and The Cruxshadows are all artists whose drumming had a direct influence on my sound, style, or performance. Some more than others, but I can trace the application of new techniques and improvements in my range and style to each of these artists. I learned something from all of them. Also Our Lady Peace, Alkaline Trio, Bif Naked, Evanescence, and Toad the Wet Sprocket.

Leif (bass)

Flyleaf, Enya, Gretchen, Within Temptation, Vitriolic, Midnight Oil, The Cranberries, Bif Naked, and some others that I cannot think of at the moment.

Bryan (guitar)

The Church, Pearl Jam (sometimes), television jingles, Sister Hazel, Alice in Chains, Staind, Midnight Oil, Metallica, Jack Johnson, Five For Fighting, Collective Soul.
