* GenreMashup: RWBY's output varies depending on whoever writes the songs. Blake's output (such as ''This Will Be The Day and Red Like Roses'') is hard rock, Weiss's songs (e.g. ''Shine'' and ''Dream Come True'') are inspired by Motown, while Ruby writes the group's ballads (i.e. ''Home'' and ''Wings''). Even the lone song that Yang sings (''Not Fall In Love'') is said to have a Latin-tinged feel to it. However, it's implied that the group leans more towards hard rock than any other genre.

* SurprisinglyGentleSong: ''Wings'' and ''Home'' are the only two ballads the group records, and only the former made it onto the album while the latter became the B-side to their first single. The rest of their output, although varied, is ''very'' forceful by comparison.

It's the start of the English summer of 1965, and life can't get any better for the Yeatles, the biggest band in the world. A flyer they find at their local golf course promises a night of auditory fireworks from a London-based band, so they decide to see it. As Sun, Neptune, Sage and Scarlet soon learn, not only are the group on their level as performers, but they're also all female. Whatever will arise between the two bands?

In short, this is a PeriodPiece romance between team RWBY and team SSSN that pays tribute to the RWBY soundtrack.
