This band has that one song a decade ago and I feel like they just completely disappeared
Basially. They branched off and started doing other work. Solo work, new bands. The musicians are still active, just not as Fun.
I still hope one day they come back together for another album
Underrated.
Much better than ‘Some Nights’, but I like that album as well. What’s your favourite song on this? Mine is ‘The Gambler’
It’s really hard to say. I usually out the whole thing on but the opener definitely hooks me.
The opener is really good!!
Try listening to Nates earlier project The Format. Less pop than fun. and criminally underrated.
Probably one of, if not, my favorite band.
Facts. So good. Criminally underrated. Another band from the same Era that was amazing, The Jealous Sound. Their album Kill Them With Kindness is a masterpiece.
I left this comment unread for a month so I could come back and give it a listen when I could give it the attention it deserves.
A bit more melancholic that The Format. I dig it, it gives me strong Sorority Noise vibes. Maybe even some American Football emo vibes.
It’s hard to find a band that evokes the same emotions as The Format for me, Nate’s bright voice is unrivaled and Sam’s song writing was infectious.
I’d totally forgot about this lil interaction lol but I’m happy to hear you gave them a listen. Lyrically I get the Sorority Noise vibe, and musically I see the American Football. I’ve always had a hard time relating them to another artist. They’re one of those bands that’s kinda hard to pinpoint. They’re like… a late 90s alternative and 2000s emo bastard child that hardly anybody heard. I can’t recall how I even heard em all those years ago lol.
I totally agree with your assessment of The Format though. They invoke feelings and emotions in a myriad of ways.
Jack Antonoff is an excellent producer, he really made Some Nights as catchy as it was. As much as I love Nate, he really excelled with a partner. Just as he was able to work so well with Sam Means in The Format. Even the song he worked on with P!nk shows he has great talent, but he shines best when he can collaborate with another talented artist.
Nate’s solo album didn’t hit the same chords for me.
I tend to gravitate towards ‘All the pretty girls’ but I can put this album on repeat and sing along to the whole thing.
