The band is sometimes defined as punk but exhibits additional qualities similar to southern swamp rock.
Arpeggiated twangy guitar riffs, pounding bass lines and rock drumming are major features of the group's sound.
Past drummers for The Old Haunts include founding member Curtis James,[1] Natalie Cox, Danny Sasaki, and Chris Sutton,[2] most of who have played with other Olympia bands.
James was in Serum Greys and Excuse 17; Sasaki was a member of Mocket; Cox came from Popular Music; and Sutton had been in Dub Narcotic Sound System.
[3] Before signing with the Kill Rock Stars label, The Old Haunts released a pair of independent EPs,[2] and a full-length album, Collection, which combines both.
