| 4 | A musical band, Wedlock formed circa 2004 in Richmond, VA, formed of Paul Allgood (vox, sampling) and Jeff Hathaway (programming, keyboards) for its original members. They did a couple Eps together until Jeff formed his own production company and Paul kept going with Wedlock in live form. Exogamy was a 2008 debut that eventually reached #40 on OutVoice's LGBT chart, and also contained their most successful single to date "Black Sundress"(#9 Amazon mp3). Their follow up, Continuity, was voted runner-up in the Indie Band of the Year Contest hosted by Music Emissions[[note]]A Canadian E-Zine[[/note]]. |

| 6 | Allgood has been the sole remaining original member, and continues to record and perform as Wedlock with many others, much like Pere Ubu but not nearly as famous. |

| 35 | !!Wedlock has examples of the following tropes: |
| 36 | |
| 37 | * CultOfPersonality: Their song "Reverend Charisma" is about the cult leader Jim Jones. |
| 38 | * DreadlockRasta: Though not a Rastatafarian, Paul Allgood wears his hair in this style. |
| 39 | * IdiosyncraticAlbumTheming: "Matrimony," "Exogamy," and "Continuity" all end in "y", as Allgood purposely tries to use one-word titles either pertaining to marriage or the "y" ness of something. |
| 40 | * ProtestSong: The song "Allegiance?" WTF?! is a track with an anti Bush, anti-oligarchy, and anti-war sentiment, complete with vox sample. |
| 41 | * RevolvingDoorBand: Apart from Paul Allgood, the band has featured a different line up on each of its releases. For a band called Wedlock, there's a lot of musical "divorce" going around--over ten member changes over its history. |
