Punk rock

Busted is a Punk rock act. Their sound grew out of Son of Dork, Brown Eyed Girl, Wheatus, JoJo and Pierre Bouvier. Those roots explain a lot about how Busted arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Scouting for Girls, You Me at Six, Kids in Glass Houses, Will Young and Take That, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Orla Gartland, Jonas Brothers, 5 Seconds of Summer, Lewis Capaldi and McFly, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 37 connections around Busted, reaching back through Son of Dork and forward to Orla Gartland.
