Musical style and influence
Miss Vincent have cited musical influences including Alkaline Trio, Bad Religion, The Misfits, Bayside,[10][11] Social Distortion, AFI,[12] The Ramones,[13] Against Me!, Our Time Down Here, The Gaslight Anthem,[14] Masked Intruder,[15] Buddy Holly, and Danny & the Juniors,[16] leading to them being described as punk rock,[17][18][19][20] gothic punk[21][22][23] and gloomy punk,[24][25][26] with traditional rock 'n' roll elements[27] and "vintage vibes".[28]
Band name
After hearing the mention of a "Miss Vincent" in Alkaline Trio's "Queen of Pain", frontman Marshall was inspired to look into the character, discovering the story of Joyce Carol Vincent, inspiring him to write a song about her life. The song was initially titled "Miss Vincent" but the band eventually decided to change the song's title to "No One Knew" and used the song's original title to name the band instead.[29] "No One Knew" was the band's first single and it was released on 5 October 2012.
