" Their music is complex and fast-paced, featuring abrupt and inconsistent time-signature changes. These erratic elements are, according to guitarist Bobby Bray, "a reflection of perhaps how our brains have to function in order to be able to do anything in the Western societies we live in. " Over the years, their sound has changed several times.

The Locust have a unique stage presence, costumed in skin-tight, full body nylon suits (which the band refer to as uniforms). The most recent suits were designed and made by Ben Warwas. Unlike most bands, which normally have the drums set up behind the other members, the four members of The Locust are usually all positioned in a line at the front of the stage. The group recommends that in order to get the full impact of the band, one should see them live.

The Locust boycotts Clear Channel Communications, refusing to play in any Clear Channel-owned venues. Clear Channel Communications is a media conglomerate company based in the United States. This boycott affected a 2005 tour with Fantômas as well as a tour with Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Fantômas is an Avant-garde metal supergroup formed in 1998 in California, United States.
