1 | Shut Up Sidney is a political punk rock band local to Houston, Texas. They have been active for nearly four years now with a somewhat turbulent line-up. They share much in-common musically with bands birthed by the first and second-waves of punk rock, such as the Sex Pistols, the Exploited, Discharge, and so on, though they also boast a pointed political bent more in the vain of acts like the Dead Kennedys and/or D.O.A. |

18 | !!This band provides examples of: |
19 | |
20 | * AllergictoRoutine: "Monotony" |
21 | * ClusterFBomb: The chorus of "Perry". |
22 | ** CountryMatters: Also used quite liberally in the chorus of "Perry" |
23 | * CorruptChurch: "Battlecry" |
24 | * CorruptCorporateExecutive: Rupert Murdoch is painted as such in "Rupert Murdoch's America" |

27 | * DirtyCommunists: Present in the band's imagery, though WordofGod says their message is more geared towards libertarian socialism. |
28 | * DyeHard: Steven and Edgar |
29 | * EpicRocking: "Battlecry" just makes the epic rocking cut, clocking-in at just over six minutes. |
30 | * EvilLaugh: Steven Blind pulls one off at the end of his EvilGloating as Ron Luce in "Battlecry" |
31 | * GodwinsLaw: Invoked via "Battlecry", which denounces youth-pastor Ron Luce and his Teen Mania/Battlecry organizations as militant fascists, even going as far as to directly various slogans of the Third Reich throughout the song's lyrics. |
32 | * IntentionallyAwkwardTitle: "... And Then the World Raped Itself" |
33 | * LargeHam: Steven Blind has his moments. |
34 | * LastChorusSlowDown: Perry, though it's technically the second-to-last chorus. |
35 | * LoudnessWar: "... And Then the World Raped Itself" |
36 | * MachineMonotone" Steven goes into this towards the end of "Monotony". |
37 | * MinisculeRocking: "THEM!" and "E.A. Sucks", both lasting just about a minute or so. |
38 | * MotorMouth: Present on a few songs, particularly "Osamasong". |
39 | * PunctuatedForEmphasis: |
40 | --> "JEAN! CLAUDE! (J-C-V-D!) VAN! DAMME! (J-C-V-D!) |
41 | * PrecisionFStrike: "Rick Perry, you're a FUCKING CUNT!" |
42 | * ProtestSong: A sizable lot of their material. |
43 | * SelfPlagiarism: The chorus of "Cervantes" sounds quite similar to the main riff from "Roller Derby" |
44 | * SingerNameDrop: The band's name is quelled from a quip of Johnny Rotten's towards Sid Vicious during an interview. It is sampled at the beginning of "Osamasong", effectively starting the first record. |
45 | * SpellingSong: "S.I.D." |
46 | * StageNames: All the bandmembers tend to get these. |
47 | * TakeThat: They've a good few of these... |
48 | * TestosteronePoisoning: Parodied with "A Real Man" |
49 | * TitleOnlyChorus: "Roller Derby" |
50 | * TheSomethingSong: "Osamasong" |
51 | * ThreeChordsandtheTruth: Every now and then, though it's often averted as, while their compositions are generally kept simple, they can branch-out now and then. |
