The band's protopunk sound prefigured much of what was to come in the punk rock era. their visual style influenced the look of many new wave and 1980s-era glam metal groups, and they began the local New York scene .
The band was influenced by vintage rhythm and blues, the early Rolling Stones, classic American girl group songs, and post-psychedelic bands such as the MC5 and The Stooges, as well as then-current glam rockers such as Marc Bolan.
They did it their own way, creating something which critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote "doesn't really sound like anything that came before it. It's hard rock with a self-conscious wit, a celebration of camp and kitsch that retains a menacing, malevolent edge."

PERSONALITY CRISIS
Well we can't take it this week
And her friends don't want another speach
Hoping for a better day to hear what she's got to say
All about that Personality Crisis you got it while it was hot
But now frustration and heartache is what you got
(That's why they talk about Personality)
But now your tryin to be some no you got to do some
Wanna be someone who cow wow wows
But you think about the times you did they took every ounce
when it sure got to be a shame when you start to scream and shout
you got to contradict all those times you were butterflyin about
(You were butterflyin)
All about that Personality Crisis you got it while it was hot
But now frustration and heartache is what you got
And your a prima ballerina on a spring afternoon
change on into the wolfman howlin at the moon hooowww
All about that Personality Crisis you got it while it was hot
But now frustration and heartache is what you got
Now with all the crossin fingers that mother nature says
Your mirrors get jammed up with all your friends
That personality everything starts to bend
Personality when your mind starts to bend
Personality impression of a friend,
Of a friend, of a friend, of a friend, of a friend
Personality wonderin how celebrities ever met
(Look and find out on television)
Personality Crisis you got it while it was hot
frustration and heartache is all you got. Don't you worry
Personality Crisis please don't cry
it's just a Personality Crisis please don't stop
Because you walk a Personality
Talk a Personality
τεραστια μπαντα..
