Musical style
Ubertøs began as a Smiths cover band, but soon began to create their own material . The band became known for their uncompromising mixture of genres , and unorthodox chords. Genre wise , the band has gone from making an indie rock band inspired by bands like Belle and Sebastian and Stereo Total, Devo, Siouxie and the Banshees and the Velvet Underground, to become more of a new wave/ rock band with features of both country and garage rock.
