Loop's sound was characterized by strong and influences in addition to the minimalist mayhem of The Stooges and MC5. Their songs were almost uniformly harsh and repetitive, with indecipherable vocals buried under layers of noisy guitar riffs and metronomic drumming. Some of the records featured covers of Suicide, The Pop Group and Can as bonus tracks.

Their devastating sonic attack of bass, guitars and drums annihilating audiences with their loud, yet melodic sound. A four headed rock beast with a voracious appetite for heavy riffs, pounding drums and thumping bass lines, mojo fury will chew you up and spit you out, yet make you happy they did so. the tearing rasp of nirvana is coupled with the tight industrialism of NIN to form a perfectly honed rock animal.
