Its hard to describe what music sounds like with words, and especially hard for me to be objective. Here are some words used to describe the things we love about music and the things we try to inject into our music...
The fun and energy of surf rock...melodic, aggressive, maybe a little campy (Man or Astro-man?, The Ventures).
The emotion and vastness of "post-rock" (Slint, Mogwai).
Melodic, and dynamic compositions (Fulflej, Thingy).
Instrumentalism...not just songs without words, but songs that don't NEED words.
Bw/AT's music can be compared to theme songs for TV shows that don't exist, jingles for products that are too strange to be sold to the public, and testaments to every emotion and mood imaginable. There are no lyrics to give these songs a definate character. Listeners are left with unusual, flowing, and sometimes playful melodies that allow them to decide for themselves how to feel. Melodies that will bring to mind the emotions you the individual assign or re-assign them.

Employing a fun array of instruments...the Virginia brothers craft catchy soundt
author: Rodney Gibbs
Justin and Jared Brown have a guitar, a drum and a basement. What else do you need to record your own DIY manifesto? This collection of surf and rock instrumentals would be evocative of Some Velvet Sidewalk if Al Larsen was proficient on the guitar. Employing a fun array of instruments, from bunchy guitars to slinky keyboards, the Virginia brothers craft catchy soundtracks to kickball games and clay-mation films yet to be made, such as "Ray Harryhausen", an ass-kicking ode to the master of stop-motion animation. This is the kind of music that Frank Black vacuums the house to. Get the picture?

author: Geoff Melton
In the finest DIY fashion, brothers Justin and Jared Brown have drawn influences from the great instrumental bands that have come before them (and a few other places as well) to create Born With A Tail. Throughout this eponymous full-lengther they take bits of all kinds of rock (surf, garage, math, emo, punk and even straight-ahead) stir them up with guitars, drums, bass, keyboards and even some xylophone resulting in a disc that’s often quirky and a bit off the beaten path, yet somehow catchy and at one point even a bit introspective ("Break or Shatter"). Overall a very intriguing little disc.
