Angular, discombobulated yet tuneful and melodic 90's styled emo. I haven't heard a band like this in quite some time and there's probably a good reason for that. The Reptilian is decent enough with their jangly guitars and drums that sound they're falling down a flight of stairs in time but they are also nothing I can fully enjoy. All I can picture is a bunch of nerds in high water pants jerking around a basement in some sort of spastic epileptic seizure. However if you like Algernon Cadwallader or Cap'n Jazz they you will like the Reptilian just fine. They are good at what they do, but what they do I've never really been into. I like my 90's emo but I also like it on the loud/soft variety, not the let's see how many notes we can jam into one frame.
