hold on; theres a hole in my heart.
okay, so all im really wondering is why all my favorite bands of all time are all breaking up. and whats weirder, is the fact that they both have a nate in them. and both nates are original members. but seriously, it had to be epic bands in my llife such as The Receiving End Of Sirens and The Format. (as shown above) its seriously killing me.
the story of how i came across The Format is a funny one actually.
it all started...
one day in music tech class, amanda was ill and therefore not in school. amanda was my partner in our sony acid project. so i was at our computer, and mr. garcia was like go to these websites and listen to some cheap music. and so most kids didnt, they played around on itunes, but i was like, hey! amandas not here so i dont have my mandarin podcast buddy, so why dont i check out this most likely cheezy site with bad indie bands. so i did. and i was about to give up and give into that "bad indie band" theory, but then, like last on the last page was a band called The Format. the picture they had of them wasnt that bad (like they werent terribly ugly, or anything) and their EP cover was snails. and i was like hey! this looks kinda cool. so i start listening to the song they had on there called "snails"... and long story short ive been hooked ever since.
the end.
and tonight i go check their myspace for tour dates, and find out theyre yet another band dispersing. they will never ever ever ever be forgotten. their music was truly unlike any other. they had such a unique sound. it could put me to sleep when i was tired but restless, and it could keep me up when i didnt want to sleep. haha either way, it always made you smile when you listened to their music.

i love those guys.
RIP. <3
