* WordSaladLyrics: "Air War", which samples ''{{Ulysses}}'' by Creator/JamesJoyce.

* SpitefulSpit: According to Kath, Alice (back when she sang with the riot grrrl band) used to spit beer at hecklers from the stage. Nowadays, she can sometime sbe spotted taking a swig of Jack Daniels and then raining it back on the crowd, though it's done with affection.

* FilmTheHand: Kath is routinely photographed wearing hoodies which obscure some or all of his face. Alice picked up on this habit, and will now cover her face with her sleeve/collar/beer/whatever's handy, even wen posing with fans.

* TheSilentBob: Ethan can come off as this, but he's actually more talkative than his stage persona would lead you to believe.

* Technicolorair : Alice Glass is a natural blonde. Formerly black, her hair now cycles through pastel colors.
-->"I’m a natural blonde, but that [[EveryoneLovesBlondes blonde hair, big tits]] idea of what men want, it’s now [[DeadHorseTrope really unfeminine]]."

* DyeHard: Alice Glass is a natural blonde, but dyes her hair black or pink.

* CompanionCube: Alice hand the amp are legally married in some states.

* CompanionCube: Alice has humped the amp so many times, they're legally married in some states.

* AGoodNameForARockBand: They've never actually seen an episode of ''She-Ra'' though.
-->'''Alice:''' ''(supportively)'' I hear it's good though.\\
'''Ethan:''' I hear it's ''bad''.

-->'''Alice:''' I hear it's good though.\\
'''Ethan:''' I hear it's bad.
* IAintGotTimeToBleed: Alice cannot be killed by conventional weapons. She's been kicked in the head by riot police, she's been mobbed in Spain, she's broken her ankle and performed five months' worth of shows on crutches. Actually, considering their live shows, it's amazing she doesn't get injured more often. Now you know why Ethan stays out of her wake.

* CompansionCube: Alice has humped the amp so many times, they're legally married in some states.

--> Horrid! And gold flushed more.

Crystal Castles, an electronic {{Chiptune}}-esque band, are composed of Alice Glass and Ethan Kath. They cause quite a bit of ruckus with their live shows, and often make good use of strobe lights and whatever unfortunate soul is working security. With anything they do, the reaction is always divisive, though their fanbase cherish them lovingly.

--> ''"I’m a natural blonde, but that [[EveryoneLovesBlondes blonde hair, big tits]] idea of what men want, it’s now [[DeadHorseTrope really unfeminine]]."''

-->Feel so good, you said it before.
-->To your feet, you fall to the floor.
-->Deep inside, you still want more.
-->Deal or not, you look to the door.

* OneWomanWail: Tell Me What to Swallow

->''we are crystal castles
->we are 1 boy and 1 girl
->we are named after She-Ra's home
->we play rough''

->"The fate of the world is safe in [[TropeNamer Crystal Castles]]."
-->--'''{{She-Ra}}'''

* SingleStanzaSong: In Doe Deer, Alice screeches "Deathray!" over and over.

* CoveredUp: Their drastically altered version of "Crimewave" from {{HEALTH}}'s self-titled LP is better known than the original. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCwm08sTA5U Compare]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cLxbAQMeWE contrast.]]

These issues were [[OrIsIt seemingly]] resolved when they retitled ''Insectica'' to 'Crystal Castles vs Lo-Bat', and it soon became apparent that the artist who created the {{Madonna}} image was prolonging hostilities as he was benefiting from the exposure -- Crystal Castles tried to pay him for the image but he refused to provide them with the necessary details.
