Sordid Sentinels play rock music, plain and simple. They are upfront about it. They're not reinventing the wheel, nor do they intend to. What they mean to accomplish is to perform good, soul-nourishing rock music, and they accomplish it quite nicely. They pride themselves on delivering an exciting live show, at which they are also successful.

So what we have here is a rock band. How novel. I'm listening to a song of theirs called "Walking the Plank" and racking my brain trying to come up with a handy label.

Read what I come with here.
