They listen to and are influenced by Refused, Mad Caddies, Rancid, Op Ivy, AFI, Death By Stereo, Deviates, Cherry Poppin' Daddys, Bad Brains, and even Bob Marley. But it doesn't end there, "We are influenced by everything we listen to" is what Alex, the drummer, says about the band. When they play shows they concentrate on making it the craziest thing their audience will ever see.
New songs are currently being written with these influences and each of Petulant's own styles built within the group and will be heard at their upcoming concerts and their demo which is currently being worked on.
