The band's members include Soft (Vocalist), Soni (Guitarist), Wing (Bassist) & Heihei (Drummer). Composing in Honglish (a combination of Hong Kong-styled and accented English, and Chinese), they have written songs with topics ranging from daily happenings to social issues.

The band describes their music genre as "Math-Folk". It is a combination of math-rock & folk songs with constantly varying tempos and progressions alongside gentle tones and harmonies.

The band's first published song "Burn It Down" brings forth the struggle between religious and LGBT-oriented parties. On the other hand, "Durian What What What" describes the political situation in Hong Kong after the Umbrella Revolution in 2014.

GDJYB released their first full album 23:59 Before Tomorrow in early 2017 in both Hong Kong and Taiwan, consisting of 11 new songs including hit singles such as "Durian What What What" and "Burn it Down". This album also marks the end of original bassist YY's journey with the band. She has been replaced by new bassist Wing Chan.
