Musical styleedit
The music of Follow My Lead can be described as a typical version of Post-hardcore which can feature elements of Metalcore. The vocals switch between screams and clean vocals. There are even elements of Rap vocals listenable. The musicians name acts like While She Sleeps, Of Mice & Men and Bring Me the Horizon as musical influences.[1]
Due to the use of rap vocals and Turntables the music can be described lightly as Nu Metal. The music was compared to the early Linkin Park.[8]
