[edit] Sound
Boy Hits Car plays modern aggressive hard rock with noted Eastern influences, their live performances occasionally including ethnic instruments. This blending of music combined with the lyrics, which mainly are about angst and tribulations, creates a unique sound, the so called "LoveCore" sound of Boy Hits Car.
