At first they played covers of bands like (not surprisingly) the White Stripes but soon turned towards making their own songs, especially after the coming of the third member Anže, who also switches between guitar and bass guitar. Since then, the band has recorded well over a hundred songs, forming an eclectic repertoire and sometimes a hard rock synthesis of blues, ska, reggae, surf, psychedelics, alter and progressive rock, country and metal. This in mind, reviews of Dandelion Children most often remark on their "grunge" sound, which partly stems from the very distinctive lead singer's way of singing. |
