Showbread is one of many modern hardcore bands that originated in the early 2000s that have infused hardcore style screamings into all different types of music. They are known for having several unique twists to their sound and their image. Their two vocalists, Josh Dies and Ivory Mobley, trade off in "dueling" vocals which alternate between yelling and screaming (though occasionally they use melodic singing). This effect has caused the band to occasionally be labeled as a "spaz rock" band. Second, they are one of the few hardcore bands that uses a keytar. Third, they are known for wearing only red and black clothing when performing, an aspect that causes many critics to label them as a fashioncore band. All members of the band are very energetic during their concerts. Fourth, in keeping with their campaign for uniqueness in the music scene, the band generally does not refer to their music as screamo; instead, they prefer the term "raw rock." In the words of lead guitarist Matt Davis, "No one ever knew what to say when people asked what style of music we were, so rather than come up with some hyphen filled moniker, we just started saying 'raw rock' and turned it into our campaign."
