I watched an interview with Black Francis saying that Pixies doesn't really have style. They just play and play until something sound's cool. Do you think that this is an accurate depiction? Does Pixies have no style?

Artists say that all the time. The truth is all bands have a style whether they do it on purpose or subconsciously. That style will change over time.

Word.

Agreed. Very little bands transcend an overall style, even id they can made a vareity of different kinds of songs. And I don't think this is a bad thing as there is a similar reoccurring appeal that shows in different ways, giving it identity.

Alright, maybe that was a little stupid to say, but still I'm more used to music with their own special style. I don't know a lot of bands who don't have their style, and Pixies is just a little confusing at times.

The Pixies? Post art punk surf rock.

They get quiet and then loud and are very melodic. So basically Nirvana if they weren't quite as noisy and were a better band.

Not sure if you intended "post" to be the modifier of "art" there, but "Post Art" is a concept that I'm surprised doesn't already exist. Or "Post Music". Freeing yourself from the constraints of melody and rhythm and just being really loud and making funny noises.

The Pixies (American indie-folk, punk, surf, college rock alternative/noise rock)

I listened to one Pixies track at the recommendation of Black Francis, so I would describe them as Black Francis's favourite band. Hope that helps, OP ;)
