The Devil Wears Prada (band) provides examples of the following tropes:

• Album Title Drop: Sassafras for "With Roots Above and Branches Below."
• Artifact Title: Subverted. They assumed the book was about anti-materialism, but after reading the book, they decided to rework the title to fit their own view.

"When standing before God, he won't care about your sweet Prada scarf or Gucci shoes or whatever. It's a Christian reasoning for the name, we didn't name it to attempt at being fashionable or whatever." (Mike Hranica)

• Christian Rock: Nowhere near as wholesome as one might think though.
• Large Ham: Mike seems to enjoy being one, especially when he guest spotted on A Day To Remember's I'm Made Of Wax Larry music video.
• Lyrical Dissonance: In their more Christian-themed songs, reading the lyrics and listening to the hard music style can be slightly jarring.
• Metal Scream: As per Metalcore fashion, Mike employs this alot.
• One of Us: They're fans of The Office and the Zombie EP was based off of several zombie inspired works, especially The Zombie Survival Guide.
• Soprano and Gravel: Jeremy (soprano), Mike (gravel).
• Surprisingly Gentle Song: "Louder Than Thunder", sung entirely by Jeremy.
• Zombie Apocalypse: The Zombie EP, naturally. The songs exercise every trope found in the genre.
