The Format talked with the Last Donut of the Night newsletter:
Nate: It’s tough, and this harkens back to our conversation about how America is eventually going to burn down, and that’s when new and good stuff will start up. As far as bands, Sam has his ear to the streets way more than I do. But I’m encouraged now more than ever—and I sound like a fucking old guy—but I just like seeing guitars. If that’s not your thing, cool. I’m fine with that. But I remember the community that we had as pop-punk kids growing up in Phoenix, going to see shows, and what that meant to my life. I wouldn’t be here without any of that, and I couldn’t be happier with where I ended up in my own personal life—and those formative years of going to see bands played such a huge part.
