Music: The Band Perry

A Country Music trio consisting of Kimberly Perry (lead vocals) and her two brothers, Neil (mandolin, drums, accordion) and Reid (bass guitar). Signed to Universal Republic, the band got modest success with "Hip to My Heart", but it was "If I Die Young" that propelled them to mainstream success�the song topped both the country and adult contemporary charts, also reaching #14 at pop. No One Hit Wonder, The Band Perry has also had considerable success with the three follow-ups. In 2012 they released the song "Better Dig Two", featured on their brand new album Pioneer.

Tropes present:

Band of Relatives
Darker and Edgier: The first two singles from Pioneer suggest this. "Better Dig Two" is about a woman who loves a man a little too much and says that the grave digger "better dig two" if one of them dies. "DONE." is the hardest rocking song they've done yet.
The Four Chords of Pop: "If I Die Young" uses IV-I-V-vi
If I Can't Have You: "Better Dig Two" can be read this way, though that was probably not intentional.
Small Town Boredom: "Independence".
Teenage Death Songs: "If I Die Young".
That Liar Lies: "You Lie".
Wham Line: "All Your Life" sounds like a sweet ode to a lover, until "You could be the centerpiece of my obsession/If you would notice me at all".
