    Style and influences

    Although the name of the group suggested that Shockabilly were a

    folk-rock,[5] lo-fi,[4] noise rock,[2] psychedelic,[4] rockabilly,[2][6] rock and roll[3][6] and surf,[2] all of which would be explored in avant-garde arrangements, as the band performed covers of songs by other artists that were nearly unrecognizable from the original compositions.[2][6] The band's music has been seen as a possible influence on the later works of future experimental rock bands such as Sonic Youth, and Primus, where the vocals of Les Claypool have been compared to the vocal style used by Eugene Chadbourne in Shockabilly.[3]
