If you read this site with any sort of regularity (which I would hope you do), you should know by now that every single person here at HSB loves The Format. I told everyone a couple weeks back about their free album giveaway and I'm here to remind you guys about it. The giveaway begins today the 26th and goes until July 16th. It's the one-year anniversary of Dog Problems being released and what better way to celebrate than to... give it away for free? Exactly. You can read more details (what they hope to accomplish and also why they can do this) at my earlier post.
Really though, I think this is one band that is often ignored by the indie community and I want to see them get bigger - there's no better way than to offer their album for free. You have absolutely no excuse to not check out the band if you never have. If you take a chance on just ONE thing this day/week/month, take it on The Format. Download their album for free from theformat.com; you won't regret it.
You can also watch an acoustic performance of the band on Spinner.com, including new song "Swans."
The Format - Dog Problems [You might think that the first half of this song isn't very unique, but the end is the best part]
The Format - Snails [EP version]
