The band is considered to be a part of the New Age genre, though it carries many Rock features as well.

Support Lesbiens experienced a tough start in the Czech musical scene due to a general skepticism against Czech bands singing in English. Their first two albums were known by only the most die-hard Czech fans, but their break came with the album Regeneration?, which jump-started their rise to domestic fame.

The lead singer, Kryštof Michal, who has studied in the United States, is known for his extravagant image and quirky humour and maybe due to this, the video clips of the band often carry very abstract features.

After their fourth album Tune Da Radio, the band's lead guitarist and writer Jaromír Helešic left the band, leading to a slight turn away from the Rock genre to a more modern style.

Michal co-wrote the lyrics of the latest album Euphony and Other Adventures with two of England's top lyricists. Their names appear in the booklet.

In May 2011, the group announced a new, as yet unnamed album, due to be released on 19 September 2011. The album was released and is named Homobot.
