Artist description Squirm's musical style can best be put under the modern rock umbrella with an emphasis on an overall groove and shifting sounds rather than a turn-your-guitar-up-and-bash-it-out mentality. Described as a cross between Bjork and Phish, Squirm features a soaring female voice over a locked in groove with melodic interplay between vocals, guitars, keyboards and the occasional trumpet.
