[1] The group perform and record songs about Lancashire, technology and British culture, such as "He's Turned Emo", "Chippy Tea" and "eBay Eck".

Whilst working at St Helens College, Wriggles met Dickie Ticker who was producing electronic music and light-hearted remixes under the name 'Diffusion'.

The three became interested in working together and, after Korova disbanded, Thresher and Wriggles joined forces with Ticker to create electronic dance music under the new name Emmet.

[5][6] They first dabbled with comedy music producing a remix of the Coldplay song "Clocks" for Radio One DJ Chris Moyles in the style of the German dance group Scooter.

On the request of Moyles, they produced a remix of songs by Norman Cook aka Fatboy Slim in order to perform them at an outside broadcast in a pub in Brighton.

Musical influences include the Oldham Tinkers, George Formby, hip hop and John Cooper Clarke, as well as the Houghton Weavers.

[17] To avoid further problems, the band subsequently retitled the song "The Beer International Non-Profit, Non-Governmental Sporting Quad Yearly Event".
