Musical style

Dowsing's sound has been described as "emotionally charged indie punk". The band's debut EP All I Could Find Was You has been described as "emo-infused indie rock". Hence, they have categorized as "emo-punk" and midwest emo.[12] [13] Alternative Press designated the band's early releases as "Mineral worship", and they are considered an emo revival band.[14] [15]
