The Format is led by Arizona duo Nate Ruess and Sam Means and have been around since 2003. They have released two studio albums, Interventions + Lullabies and Dog Problems as well as numerous other EP’s. The band is not very indie sounding per se as much as it is pop and alternative rock sounding which only adds to their appeal. After listening to pretty much every song on their albums, I can safely say that all their songs are either great or border on great. Not only are songs like “The First Single (Cause A Scene)” catchy but they are often musically intricate.
Similarly, their lyrics are deep and talk about things such as friendship and unrequited love. In songs like “I’m Ready I am” they have lyrics that reflect these topics:
“I’m nicotine, I'm coming clean, I fooled the crowd when I made it sound like I was more then ready strike up the band, deprive
My sleep cause theres no love like apathy the bell that tolls rings loud enough that it should have woke us up.”
Clearly, having a more pop orientated sound does not take away from the bands musical genius.
