I'm significantly less familiar with The Format than Fun., but this was an instant preorder. Dig that tune!
@shea tell me why you love the format so much not teasing, i cant name a single song from them (i'm gonna listen) but want to hear from you
Damn this song rules. Love the production and he actually reminds me a little of John Darnielle in the first verse.
the bridge makes this go from a 9/10 song to a 10/10 song lol I've just had it on repeat for the last hour. maybe a couple more hours!
I saw them open for yellowcard and something corporate in like 2004 and was hooked. They’re one of the few bands that like EVERYONE in my friend group agreed on and like half our parents love them too lol. Assume it was due to them being one of my “first bands” but I’ve always been more partial to them than fun
Holy shit this was my exact experience. Paid like $10 for a ticket to Yellowcard at Water Street Music Hall in Rochester in 2004 and The Format was one of the openers. They were sold out of Interventions so I drove all over the next day, dragging my friend around trying to find it. Now we both have Format tattoos.
artist behind the virgin mary statue is Kyle Montgomery who seems to specialize in making these: https://www.instagram.com/killdie
Was my introduction to them as well...and then my roommate and I ran the programming board at our college and brought them in for a show haha
