The Format - Boycott Heaven [CD]

After nearly two decades apart, Nate Ruess and Sam Means return to The Format, the indie pop band they helmed in the early 2000s. Teaming with Grammy-winning producer Brendan O’Brien (Pearl Jam, Bruce Springsteen, The Killers) and drummer Matt Chamberlain (who's played with David Bowie, Bob Dylan, and others), the duo’s third album Boycott Heaven incorporates sonic nods to the alt-rock, grunge, and pop-punk sounds that Sam and Nate first bonded over as Arizona teenagers in the late 90s.
