Their repertoire includes "Points West" - a song dedicated to their love of the south-west of England. Lyrics such as "this is my home" and "I'm never gonna be alone" show a strong connection to their audience, who can relate to them. Continuing this unique bond with their audience no doubt maintains their popularity amongst Bristol, increasing their chance of a wider fan base.

The song repeats the message that the south-west is the place to be, which in turn hypes up the crowd by giving them all something in common.
The band's EP "Groin Grabbingly Good Live EP" features a whole set performed by the band in one night. The EP depicts what a typical night out in the south-west might be like. The singer, Dr Elephonté, is heard throughout the EP interacting directly with members of the crowd as if he recognises the faces. Such an intimate venue perfectly demonstrates the party atmosphere that the band aims to promote.
Largo Embargo combines elements of ska and hip hop amongst other genres. They no doubt took inspiration from other artists performing in similar venues around them as these musical styles are ubiquitous in Bristol. They have developed their own original style from a mixture of styles that are popular amongst the south-west and are therefore likely to receive a positive reaction. They clearly display energy and passion for their live shows with the aim of entertaining their crowd as best as possible.
Not only do they write their own music but they have performed covers of songs, altering it to their own style. Below is their cover of "Ready Or Not" by The Fugees - performed in the style of ska.
