Their profile on the Lancaster Music Co-Op website reads:

"Original music at its best.

From heavy guitar, banging drum beats and bass that makes you move; Listen Twice puts a focus on a collective sound that makes you want to know more. Taking inspiration from rock, indie and alternative styles (as well as some ska for fun) Listen twice offer style of songs that you can love in an instance. Add in the rather fantastic vocals of Kate and you have got a band that can fill any room and get people into the music."
