The current lineup features Corgan, Iha, and Chamberlin. The band is recognized for its diverse, layered sound, which has incorporated elements of gothic rock, heavy metal, grunge, psychedelic rock, progressive rock, shoegaze, dream pop, and electronica. Their debut album, Gish, released in 1991, was well-received by critics and achieved underground success.
