Got dog problems? Yeah, those crazy canines can be a pain sometimes, huh? Piddling on the carpet. Barking all night. Stinking up the place.
Not so with the band the Format, whose brand of pleasant pop-rock can be downright lovely, as witnessed on their album from last year, Dog Problems. The band is soon to hit the road again. After an already sold out show later this week at the Mayan Theater in L.A., where the band will be doing a taping for a live DVD, The Format head out in earnest in July.
