As I don't want to look like a ripoff, I've renamed it to Sad. Which is a fitting title since nobody bought it.)

Each track is a bit different genre-wise. Duckies is a Beckesque rock rap, Bad at Rhyming is a post-punk power ballad, the cover of La Bamba is synth-punk, and Launchpad is third-wave ska. Variety is the spice of life, as they say.

This band only has one member because I have no friends.

I like all sorts of music, so beside the general theme of "alternative" I wouldn't really describe this project with a single genre.
