They're known for their catchy, frantic songs and witty lyrics. Although not overtly popular in the mainstream, they've had a few chart-climbing singles and maintain a dedicated fanbase. ''Extremely'' hook-laden songs await.

26	!! This band provides examples of:
27	* BreakupSong: ''Happiness Ltd.'' was basically a breakup album.
28	* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: ''Scenes One Through Thirteen'' is a compilation of early singles - At the time they didn't have a guitarist, Steve Bays was only playing keyboards (the original vocalist was Matthew Marnik), and they had a noisier, more aggressive PostHardcore / PostPunk sound.
29	* MessyHair: Steve Bays, with all of his unruly ginger curls, certainly counts.
30	* SanitySlippageSong: "Oh, Goddamit" qualifies. ''"Oh, oh goddamit, I think I've lost it. Oh goddammit - I think I've lost you."''
31	* SesameStreetCred: They popped up for an episode of ''Series/YoGabbaGabba''.
32	* SignatureStyle: Steve Bays' voice has led to him being described as a "headlong yelper" by ''Rolling Stone Magazine''.
33	* SillyLoveSongs: Love songs? Yeah. But the silly part was averted for most of their career, with their first silly, happy love song coming out in 2010.
34	* ThirteenIsUnlucky: The packaging to ''Elevator'' doesn't list a track 13, as a play on buildings with a [[MissingFloor missing 13th floor]]. The 13th track is simply the last few seconds of the previous song indexed on its own track.
35	* WanderlustSong: "This Town" is all about leaving town.
