Formed in 2000, The Format is an American indie rock band formed by Nate Ruess and Sam Means.

Their style can be considered a mixture of indie, alternative, punk and folk music, with elements of 1960s and 1970s pop music.

The Format chose their name to make fun of the music industry's inclination towards a cookie-cutter "format" for a hit.

The band announced a hiatus on February 4, 2008. Twelve years later, on February 4, 2020, they announced a return from their hiatus.
