Featured Band - The Format

So last you heard, I had the chance to open for The Honorary Title. They were definitely good, but after making friends with the drummer, Atom, he informed me that he was the drummer for another band. Apparently The Honorary Title is just 2 people, with additional musicians filling in on tour.

Atom's band has been one of my favorites for a while now, so this was a cool moment for me. So, for me, check out The Format and take a listen. They are a good band, you can understand them, and it's just fun music.

Be well, and keep rocking...

the format is currently touring with Taking Back Sunday and Jimmy Eat World. The tour just started and I saw it Monday in Detroit. It was amazing...i can't even describe it to you. Best concert i've ever been to probably.

Tonight I went to the Taking Back Sunday & Jimmy Eat World concert in Providence, RI. Man, that show was the BEST show I've been to. And trust me, I've been to a lot of shows in my lifetime. The Format opened up, and they were beyond amazing. Their sound is really fresh and unique. It's just that kind of music you can listen to in ANY mood. And no matter what, it'll get you feeling really good. I think they're extremely talented. So are JEW & TBS. But anyway, uhmmmm go buy their CD because...well...I said so! =)

I was introduced to the format last year after they opened for switchfoot. I got their cd and they signed it. I put the cd into my cd player and it hasn't left it since. I addicted to thier music.

Anyone who is looking for the Format album online, it is available on iTunes for 9.99.
I got into them through the free iTunes music sampler which features "On your porch". Great song. So I grabbed the rest of them

Oh jeez, The Format is the greatest band that ever handclapped. No seriously, I love them and I'm so excited that I got to meet Sam & Nate (along with The Honorary Title dudes, who are astounding as well!) on the Switchfoot tour when they came here to little ol' Texas. Great guys, great music, great cd.

Man, I love them.
