Their music is flavoured by a blend of blues, hard rock, alternative rock, and psychedelia along with Rupam Islam's vocal renditions of his characteristic psycho-analytical lyrics. They are noted for their social commentary and advocation of causes such as the welfare of HIV positive people.

Like most other Bangla bands, Fossils performs in the Bengali language but using mainly Western principles of music.
