- Ho Yay: The video for "Glory Box" features double ho yay — men being affectionate to each other — but the men are all women in drag. EVERYONE in the video is in drag.
- Periphery Demographic: They're rather popular among metalheads, for whatever reason.
- Signature Song: It's either "Glory Box" (the band's big UK hit) or "Sour Times" (the band's big US rock radio hit), both from Dummy.
- The Woobie: Beth Gibbons. Whenever you see her sing, her face is CONTORTED with sadness, so much so that she looks like one of those Greek tragedy masks. It's hard not to feel sorry for Beth, even if you don't know precisely what the reason for her prolonged pain IS.
