EP

The Format

Bright acoustic-driven indie pop with soaring nasal vocals and suburban heart. A five-song blueprint for the melodic emo-pop explosion of the early 2000s.

August 9, 2002 · Western Tread Recordings

Find on Amazon

A bright, sun-drenched yearning for things that haven't happened yet.

Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive, harmony-drenched chorus of the opening track that defines the band's melodic ambition.
The way the acoustic strumming builds into a layered, theatrical crescendo during the bridge of track 4.
The vulnerable, stripped-back vocal delivery in the final track that showcases Ruess's range before the full band kicks in.
