* NotChristianRock: After their debut, they took a turn against their Christian roots.
** ChristianRock: Their debut, on the other hand, has a couple of references to Christ in "Never Far Behind" being one example.

** This can sometimes be scene on their social media as well where they have been known to post some racy photos like the two of them hanging out topless in the desert (seen from behind), getting ready for a show backstage in their just their bras, and prominently displaying their butts in matching thong underwear.

** Their single "Don't Go Changing" features both sisters topless on the cover but covering their nipples with HandOrObjectUnderwear.

** Their "Sanctuary" EP features both sisters fully nude on the cover, again covering their nipples but their butts fully visible.
** On the cover of their album "A Touch of the Beat Gets You Up on Your Feet Gets You Out and Then Into the Sun", AJ is wearing a thin, semi-transparent white t-shirt that doesn't do a great job of hiding her nipples.
** They also both appear fully nude in the music video for "Church", lying on their stomachs so that their breasts are hidden but their butts are pointing out for all to see.

* AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent: "I'm Here", the ballad at the end of ''Insomniatic'', and ''Insomniatic'' itself, after ''Into the Rush'' thematically.

* NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly: Electronically focused pop/rock of the folky indie variety.

* ContemptibleCover: The cover of their comeback single "Take Me" shows a nude woman's butt covered in a transparent veil. Especially odd given how the song otherwise has no profanity or any overt sexual references.

* BreakUpSong: "Out of the Blue", "Collapsed", "Flattery", "I'm Here", "÷", "Closure", "Potential Breakup Song" (natch), "If I Could Have You Back", "Silence".

* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: On average, a 3. They don't usually go any higher than a 4. A few songs from "Insomniatic" arguably reach a 5, however.

* TheSomethingSong: "Potential Breakup Song"
* SiblingTeam: Sisters.

They are currently working on their upcoming third album.

* ContemptibleCover: The cover of their comeback single "Take Me" shows a nude woman's butt. Especially odd given how the song otherwise has no profanity or any overt sexual references.
