Electric Six mix a variety of genres in their music. Initially, the band’s style was more of a punk rock, as of 2010; their genre has taken a more “darker” tone, Heartbeats and Brainwaves being an example. According to the critics, the lyrics of their songs are ironic, angry, lustful and dissatisfied. The band is currently on the verge of releasing their latest live album.
