When you ask someone what type of music they listen to, the answer is most often, "I listen to everything". You then go over to their apartment or peruse their IPOD to find a bland collection that deviates little from a single genre. When you ask a band what type of music they play, you invariably get a confused look and an awkward reply along the lines of, "Well... it's really hard to describe". Of course, then you hear them and you giggle at how untrue that sentence was. Tub Ring may actually have a legitimate reason to say both, but won't. Tub Ring is a tornado of genres mixing punk, classical, surf, a-capella, metal, pop, and whatever else crosses their path into one cohesive blend of rock.
