Tropes that apply to The Calling

 * Break Up Song: "Nothing's Changed" and "Could It Be Any Harder" sound like these, although the latter could also be about someone dying.
 * Intercourse with You: "Surrender" and "Unstoppable"
 * Manipulative Bitch: The eponymous girl in "Adrienne" seems like one of these.
 * Meaningful Name: Alex Band.
 * One-Hit Wonder: "Wherever You Will Go" was their only Top 40 hit.
 * One-Woman Song: "Adrienne".
 * Signature Song: "Wherever You Will Go", helped along by the fact that it has appeared in a number of TV shows.
 * Silly Love Songs: A lot of their songs are either this or songs commenting on the nature of life and humanity. It works for them though.
 * Vocal Dissonance: Alex Band, who was 20 when they released their first album, looks like a a teenage Pretty Boy but has a deep, semi-Nose Yodeling singing voice.
