Described as a "New York-style art rock band," The Gunga Din combined a Farfisa organ and psychedelic music-inspired drumming. Its debut album was described as "an equal blend of post-punk and new wave" with occasional psychobilly influences and was compared to the works of the bands such as the Doors, X and Suicide. The band's second studio album also drew comparisons to the works of PJ Harvey and The Velvet Underground.
