The music is a mix of rock, pop, folk, bluegrass and country, or Solveig Anne Marit Bergheim said - Skranglevisepoprock.
Following Solveig Heilo comment: - And more and more country.
Turid Jørgensen thinks their music is influenced by the fact that everyone likes a lot of different music, and that they thus become a bit schizofrent band.

Bergheim says that many say they are a so-called flinkis band, since all band members playing on all instruments. - We are not flinkis, determine Heilo. - We have fun!
Jorgensen said that the starting point for the band is that everyone play instruments they have not played before.
The fact that they sing well and firstemt in addition, they avoid to get into.

Moods however, they are concerned about.
The girls explained that it is the mood they see in the song that determines how it is. - This is a little country, while this is scary, that's the way we sit when we get songs from Mats, says Heilo. - The fact that we have many different moods of the songs give us more energy, " says Marianne Sveen.
Anne Marit Bergheim said that many in the audience says, "a concert by Katzenjammer are a journey through the emotional register."
