Music Style You know that stupid electroclash stuff, its like that, but change the image and screw all that serious and annoying pretentious stuff.

Press Reviews "Want to know the only band that matters anymore? The only band that matters is...Poingly."--Suck.com (3/29/99) "[Poingly] is some sort of post-neo-retro-fringe-like take on music that went completely over my head...so if you find yourself saying 'hey man, there's not nearly enough toilet humour and penis references in music nowadays'...you might want to give 'em a go."--raw42.com (ehm@raw42.com)"Orchestrated electronica with digital and organic breakbeat/drum 'n' bass, arbitrary samples, and a whole lot of lyrical toilet humor. Dark, rhythmic ambience with the words 'Elvis' Last Turd' repeated over and over isn't for everyone, but qualifies as creative none the less."--Listen.com review
