Original material bands usually cringe at the ubiquitous question, "who do you sound like?" Unfortunately, if you want to get booked, it's a question one must answer. Let's see… Tom is an avid Rush fan. Arthur and Paul both agree on progressive, but where Arthur branches out to Goth and Metal, Paul prefers Classical and vintage Captain Beefheart. Dave's influenced by old pop radio hits. They all love King Crimson.

Where does that leave us? Well, Bastille's sound, style and substance has been compared to 80's stalwarts Echo and the Bunnymen, The Cars, Roxy Music and Billy Idol, but with a sardonic sense of humor that over a decade of retrospect can only bring to light. This is not the result of profound intellectual ruminations, but rather, the product of what gets thrown into the musical Cuisinart. Dave brings songs in various stages of completion, Arthur brings riffs as song fodder, Paul serves as arranger and submits an occasional set of lyrics, Tom ties it all together with a unifying bass line and works with Dave on vocal harmonies…..What it sounds like is what it sounds like.
