Music: The Calling

The Calling is a Pop Rock band from Los Angeles, California. They formed in 2000 and have released two albums, but have been on indefinite hiatus since 2005.

They have two albums:

Camino Palmero (2001)
Two (2004)

Tropes that apply to The Calling

Breakup Song: "Nothing's Changed" and "Could It Be Any Harder" sound like these, although the latter could also be about someone dying.
Intercourse with You: "Surrender" and "Unstoppable"
Manipulative Bitch: The eponymous girl in "Adrienne" seems like one of these.
Meaningful Name: Alex Band.
One Hit Wonder: "Wherever You Will Go" was their only Top 40 hit.
One Woman Song: "Adrienne".
Signature Song: "Wherever You Will Go", helped along by the fact that it has appeared in a number of TV shows.
Silly Love Songs: A lot of their songs are either this or songs commenting on the nature of life and humanity. It works for them though.
Vocal Dissonance: Alex Band, who was 20 when they released their first album, looks like a a teenage Pretty Boy but has a deep, semi-Nose Yodeling singing voice.
