{{creatortropes}}
* [[Ascended Fanboy]] - During the tour for Casually Dressed & Deep in Conversation, they got to open for their idols, [[Iron Maiden (Music)|Iron Maiden]].
* [[A Good Name for Aa Rock Band]] - The band is named for a song by [[Planes Mistaken For Stars]], not the [[Elton John]] song, as some believe.
* [[Badass Beard]] - Kris, Matt during Tales Don't Tell Themselves.
* [[Bishonen]] - Matt during the eps and Casually Dressed.
* [[Break Up Song]] - Moments Forever Faded, The End of Nothing, Juneau.
** Every song on the Four Ways To Scream Your Name EP details an aspect of breakup.
* [[Careful Withwith That Axe]]
* [[Creator Backlash]] - The Band really, really seem to hate their song 'The Getaway Plan'.
* [[Driven to Suicide]] - The boy in video for "Roses For the Dead", it's not shown but as the video progresses you can see a distraught mother clearing the boy's things away and remensing about him and at the very end it shows the boy at the edge of a tall building.
* [[Emo]] - They've been lumped in with the scene, although they're more Melodic Hardcore with [[Heavy Metal (Music)|Heavy Metal]] influences.
* [[Epic Rocking]] - The six-and-a-half minute "Novella".
* [[Executive Meddling]] - Likely to be the reason for the removal of the screaming in Juneau, as it was going to be released as a single. The band have always played it live in its Juno arrangement (IE with screaming) thus indicating they always intended it to have it.
Line 36 ⟶ 35:
* [[Loudness War]]- They are repeat offenders. Memory and Humanity, in particular, has noticeable distortion and clipping.
* [[Lyrical Dissonance]] - The first half of the song "Welcome Home Armageddon" is probably the most upbeat-sounding song about the apocalypse this side of [[REM]]. The second part is [[Subdued Section|much more somber]].
* [[New Sound Album]] - In 2007, they released Tales Don't Tell Themselves, a mellower [[Alternative Rock]] [[Concept Album]] about a lost fisherman.[[They Changed It, Now It Sucks|It was not well received by the fanbase]].
* [[Old Shame]] - Very much [[Averted]] with the first few [[E Ps]], which are held in high regard by the band and their fanbase.
* [[Perishing Alt Rock Voice]] - Your Revolution Is A Joke, Drive, Sonny, and the end of Kiss And Make Up (All Bets Are Off).
* [[Rearrange the Song]] - "Juno", from their first EP, was re-recorded as "Juneau" on their debut album. The second version was a bit less screamy and intense and more catchy.
* [[Running Joke]] - Matt can't ride a bicycle.
* [[SopranoandSoprano and Gravel]]- Matt the singer and Ryan the screamer. Matt shout-sings the vocals on occasion.
* [[Surprisingly Gentle Song]] - "Your Revolution Is A Joke", "Building", "Sonny", "History" and, to an extent, "Owls (Are Watching)".
* [[Tear Jerker]] - The video for Roses for the Dead.
