...Band. He was persuasive as a busker too. Starting out with just a guitar, he gained attention by becoming a one-man band, simultaneously playing a kazoo, tambourine and drum, in addition to the guitar.

Its hard to describe, but the breaks in their sound awfully formless and abstract, but deep down they consist of just a hard drum beat, a loud bass, and Townshend's amazing chorded rhythm or lead guitar. They use virtually no sophisticated recording tricks. I guess the thing is that they have retained all of the normal apparatus of a regular old rock and roll band, but their sound is unique.
