    Facts. So good. Criminally underrated. Another band from the same Era that was amazing, The Jealous Sound. Their album Kill Them With Kindness is a masterpiece.

      I left this comment unread for a month so I could come back and give it a listen when I could give it the attention it deserves.

      A bit more melancholic that The Format. I dig it, it gives me strong Sorority Noise vibes. Maybe even some American Football emo vibes.

      It’s hard to find a band that evokes the same emotions as The Format for me, Nate’s bright voice is unrivaled and Sam’s song writing was infectious.

        I’d totally forgot about this lil interaction lol but I’m happy to hear you gave them a listen. Lyrically I get the Sorority Noise vibe, and musically I see the American Football. I’ve always had a hard time relating them to another artist. They’re one of those bands that’s kinda hard to pinpoint. They’re like… a late 90s alternative and 2000s emo bastard child that hardly anybody heard. I can’t recall how I even heard em all those years ago lol.

        I totally agree with your assessment of The Format though. They invoke feelings and emotions in a myriad of ways.
