Greer is known for being a high-energy performer and being physically interactive with the audience.^[8][9][10] Greer's songwriting style has been called "more poetic" than that of his DK predecessor, though he has only written songs for the Killer Smiles.^[11] DK bassist Klaus Flouride has said this was what the band was looking for, saying "Skip is a good singer, a good performer, but he doesn't do Biafra."^[12]
