Bud Petal's music has been described as "cerebral art-folk", "like a chance meeting on a dissecting table of a sewing machine, an umbrella, Noam's Chomsky's book Year 501: The Conquest Continues, and early Bob Dylan", "the music Lord Byron would be making had he lived in the 21st century and taught himself how to play the guitar", "what you get if you mix love, politics, and surrealism", and "the feeling one gets when drowning within a sea of smiles".
