* GenreShift: Tricia's solo music sounds nothing like what she performed with the band. Fans were surprised that ''The Road'' was actually a worship album, and while ''Radiate'' does have a similar writing style to Superchick, it is a 100% pop album.

* IAmWhatIAm: "Real". Name dropped in the opening line no less.
* LikeParentLikeSpouse: "Barlow Girls".

* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: Anywhere between 1 ("Courage") and 6 ("Hey Hey").
