No matter what band I'm listening to, I will always return to The Format. Why? Because of songs like this. "If Work Permits" is the BEST song by them---hands down. The Format is one of the BEST bands of our generation and, to me, they will never grow old. Thanks for so many unforgettable songs boys.
"Oh man, i write my music because i feeeel it in my bones, man. I don't write music to make money, i do it to express myself, though i do play shows to get signed to major record labels, but that doesn't count. I'm just writing original music that i think is cool, and all those 10,000 other bands like me just copy off our cool style."
wow, it's almost as if you wrote that paragraph yourself! You're right, you could definitely insert "I am a douche" anywhere you wanted in that paragraph... :]
what are you talking about? Do you even know anything at all about this band's history? Or any other bands, honestly there aren't too many bands that sound anything like The format, and if they were just a band for money they wouldn't have broken up. You think any of them play huge sold out stadiums anymore?
Well, what if they are making music because they love music. People like that exist you know. People who make music and want it to be heard.
Either way, would you prefer a band that IS in it for the money and instead of "copying" (inspiration?) 10 000 other bands "copy" 10 000 000 other bands?
really only online, i just got the last one in stock off of amazon but ive seen it on a couple other sites, its a pretty good deal its usually between 12-15 $ on most sites

Sometimes, when sailors are sailing
They think twice, about where theyre anchoring
And I think, I could make better use of my time on land
Ill drink less
Cause lord knows I could use a warm kiss
Instead of a cold goodbye
Im writing the folks back home to tell them
"Hey I, Hey Im doing alright"

this is what i hear from these types of bands:
