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. |
