Grüvis Malt are known for their blending of genres (progressive rock, hip hop, jazz, and funk) and intense song writing. They are the self-proclaimed founders of the "futurock" genre, which features a blending of irregular time signatures (like math rock), unconventional chord progressions, and abnormal song structure. Because of this blending of many genres of music, Grüvis Malt are sometimes called a "musician's band."

The group stopped touring in 2005, after the release of their last album, Maximum Unicorn, in order to pursue solo projects and higher profits.
