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.
