We talked last week about The Format playing Fallon this week, but at that point didn't know there'd be a new single and full album announcement. So, 20 years after the last album, we're getting a third album from the Arizona band! We talk about the excitement of fans of fun. discovering Nate's previous band's new tunes, and theorize this is going to be a departure from the band...into pure rock n' roll.

What do we think of the new The Staring Line album?
This week Kyle and Blake are talking about the new The Starting Line album, Eternal Youth, as well as Acceptance's Phantoms/Twenty re-imagining. Plus, The Format is doing a few reunion shows, including playing Jimmy Fallon on October 6th where the other guest is the genre's biggest promoter, Taylor Swift. We look forward to millions of Swifties discovering The Format, even if they're 20 years late to the party.

Ep079 - Infinity on High by Fall Out Boy
We're back! And we figured we should return with as big an album as the 2000s produced, and so we chose Fall Out Boy's massively successful Infinity on High. The 2007 album sold over 2 million records worldwide! We love the album, but can't help but make fun of some of the lyrics. And we're genuinely blown away by the creative leap taken on this album - Patrick Stump really expanded the definition of what works in pop-punk with this one. Video version to come as soon as Blake works out the technical problems...apologies.
