They are known for wearing matching outfits when performing to promote their albums, such as red and black for No Sir, Nihilism Is Not Practical, black and green for Age of Reptiles, Doctor and Nurse outfits for Anorexia and Nervosa, and army shirts for The Fear of God. Ideological views Showbread openly advocate Christian pacifism and anarchism, criticize patriotism as idolatry, boycott all companies that use sweatshops, all members are freewill theists, some subscribe to open theism and all members are teetotalers.
