It's Hook City... from beginning to end.
And, not cheezy 5¢ and 10¢ hooks, but razor-sharp. Great songs. Period.
PM me and I'll see what I can do.

dog problems is totally great. I did some research a while ago and found this myspace site of the new band but I wasn't too impressed by the demo.
I'm excited for the album anyway.

i dont understand why a band like the format has to release such a great album and then break up

i guess it saves us from the inevitable let down

No kidding. I don't know what got into me, but I've listened to Dog Problems about a dozen times over the last week or so. Told myself I wouldn't play any songs from it today.... but now... damn!

Planet Money used one of their songs the other day, which reminded me of this record.

Holy hell; catchy as flypaper. Some around here would violently object to this, but if you liked The Format even a little bit this will be right up your alley. Strong.

This sounds like a fucking Disney cartoon.

The soundtrack to Alladin or something.

Is it serious?

Jesus.
