02Musical style and ideology
Spraynard's sound has been described as "melodic, suburban pop-punk." Their music has drawn comparisons to Iron Chic and Dude Ranch-era Blink-182. Randall Colburn of Consequence stated that "their sound, muscular and anthemic, reflects that homespun grit, though it belies the band’s fierce strain of positivity." The band espouses progressivism, and is described by Colburn as a "working-class band." Lyrical themes explored by Spraynard include friendship and community.
