That's an understatement.  Extreme performance art combined with great, nasty blues/punk music.

"Can anybody say a bit about Wilkes style (hopefully
with more substance than judgement)?"

Bluesy and fast but very heavily distorted.  He sings into his harp mic, so the vocals sound the same.

J.D. looks like something from another dimension on stage, but offstage he's really nice and easy to talk to.
