Music

The album has been described as new wave and very '80s-inspired. The album features 'chiptune' synthesizer solos, and chiptune synth tones. Nick Petricca called "Shut Up and Dance" a 'dork rock' anthem and it was inspired by songs like "Hit Me with Your Best Shot" (Pat Benatar) and "Jessie’s Girl" (Rick Springfield), real heart-on-your-sleeve kind of anthems.
