Themes
The Wedding is musically eclectic. Their second release Polarity begins with an intro of ska horns (supplied by The Supertones' Dan Spencer) and hip hop beats. Elsewhere, the album delves into Celtic punk ("I'll Sleep When I'm Dead"), post-hardcore ("It's Time to Rock (OK?)") and a country female choir ("Fireworks"), as well as the band's signature pop punk nuances. Lyrically, The Wedding use such themes as love, relationships, loyalty to the 479, confidence in God and working hard.
