fun. (Official Thread)

[Asadcow]

Saw them with Manchester Orchestra awhile ago. Definitely excited for this as I was a big fan of the Format and I love the Jellyfish influence in the songs. Favorite so far is Walking the Dog.

[SSLYBY]

Seen them with Jack's Mannequin. Can't wait for the new CD.

[Genuma]

I love the three songs I've heard, I hope the rest is as good. I remember when Benson Hedges was supposed to be a Format song. :-(

[Alex!]

One of my most anticipated this year. I can't wait. Everything Nate Ruess touches turns to gold.

[Charles777]

Loving the songs I've heard so far. Walking The Dog rules.

[Asadcow]

I'm also looking forward to a studio version of All the Pretty Girls On a Saturday Night, that song sounds like pure pop goodness.

[boxingwithstars]

just got an e-mail from them saying they'll be releasing another single (All The Pretty Girls) on 8/4. i'm trying not to overplay Walking The Dog before the album comes out, but i can't help myself. it's so good.

[Genuma]

I've had At Least I'm Not as Sad and Walking the Dog on repeat all day. So good. and Amazon has the single listed but you can't get it until August something. Probably the 4th, like someone said.

[SSLYBY]

When is the album released?

[Asadcow]

August 25th

[Genuma]

August 25th. Here's hoping for a leak sooner. I wanna pre-order this. http://hellomerch.com/shop/index.php?page=shop.product_details &flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=539&category_id=25&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=57

me too, i just wish it came with a physical copy of the CD instead of a digital one.

Wow, that's a cool pre-order

[Genuma]

Wow, that's a cool pre-order
yeah, pretty cheap considering what these other bands would be charging.
me too, i just wish it came with a physical copy of the CD instead of a digital one.
same here, the record is nice too. They have another pre-order where it's $8 for an autographed CD. Not too much to add on if you want it, too. :shrug:

yeah, that's probably what i'll do. or at least order the vinyl and pick up the CD eventually at a show or something.

[Genuma]

yeah, that's probably what i'll do. or at least order the vinyl and pick up the CD eventually at a show or something.
I'm just gonna get the vinyl. I'll just burn a CD if I really want one. haha

[FoldAndDivide]

I'm pretty excited for this, I pre ordered the vinyl deal on Saturday.

[nlcentralchamps]

I want to hear from somebody who has heard this. I am really considering pre ordering the vinyl/shirt package, but it gets expensive with shipping.

[Genuma]

I'm sure someone on staff must have heard it.

[nlcentralchamps]

Oh, and I wish they would come back to Orlando on their upcoming tour :-(

[nlcentralchamps]

I'm sure someone on staff must have heard it.
I thought I read somewhere that Drew has heard it?

[boxingwithstars]

Oh, and I wish they would come back to Orlando on their upcoming tour :-(

me too, did you see them open for MO at The Social? it was a great show. it really sucks there are no Florida dates this time around.

[nlcentralchamps]

me too, did you see them open for MO at The Social? it was a great show. it really sucks there are no Florida dates this time around.
Yes. I went in thinking I'd absolutely hate them, according to some of the stuff I read in the tour thread. But I loved every bit of it. Audrye Sessions, them, and MO all but on awesome shows that night.

[Genuma]

I thought I read somewhere that Drew has heard it?
He has the avatar going, so I think he might.

[boxingwithstars]

Yes. I went in thinking I'd absolutely hate them, according to some of the stuff I read in the tour thread. But I loved every bit of it. Audrye Sessions, them, and MO all but on awesome shows that night.

yeah, it was kind of an odd tour for them to be on, so i can see how fans of MO who didn't know what they were about would have been surprised or even turned off by their sound. but i thought they were excellent.

[Genuma]

Probably goin' to see them in September. I never saw the Format, I had time to but I never thought they'd break up so suddenly.

[liar23]

Walking the Dog is grrreat. Can't wait for the new album.

[Klatzke]

this is one of the few albums i'm excited for this year

[Genuma]

leeeaaak leeeeeeaaaaak. (I wish it would. not it just did)

[batmannj]

The pre-order looks tight. I've really enjoyed the songs I have heard so far.

[drewz5]

if only i had $25!

[Asadcow]

Light a Roman Candle With Me sounds so chill. Also, totally just nabbed that pre-order.

[nlcentralchamps]

I really am eager to hear this.

[Genuma]

hopefully be hearing the album soon.

[JordanBuell]

leeeaaak leeeeeeaaaaak. (I wish it would. not it just did)

yeah it did. its out there. just look.

[fimiani91]

I saw them open for Manchester Orchestra and was really impressed. I am equally as impressed with the album.

[Tead42]

yeah it did. its out there. just look.

Confirmed. It leaked. :D

[Genuma]

fuck this. I'm at Scotland at a B&B with wi-fi but the guy won't let me download anything so I can't get this. I could probably get away with it since he doesn't use the connection, but the guys an ex-police chief sooo, not gonna fuck with that.

[s.t.e.v.e.n.]

Freaking leaks.

I'm excited for this album. The new songs sounded great live.

[s.t.e.v.e.n.]

I saw them open for Manchester Orchestra and was really impressed. I am equally as impressed with the album.

Good to hear. My only concern with bands like this is that the overall feel of the songs won't translate on the album. All the samples sounded great though.

[ikikwe]

The album is really fantastic. It's a bit early, but a possible AOTY.

[Genuma]

man I love this! so glad I didn't wait.

[Genuma]

The little Format comment/closure in Take Your Time is great

[The Personist]

Amazing band. Amazing album. Can't wait to pick it up.

[Genuma]

fucking pissed I missed getting the vinyl.

[s.t.e.v.e.n.]

Worried about staying power with this one.

[anthonydarko]

Unless something else knocks my socks off, this will most likely be the AOTY for me.

[Genuma]

I think it has staying power, listened to the whole album at least 30 times and no trouble yet.

[JordanBuell]

i love listening to this in the car. such great driving music

[Mitch]

AOTY for me so far.

[boxingwithstars]

AOTY for me so far.

me too.

[s.t.e.v.e.n.]

I think it has staying power, listened to the whole album at least 30 times and no trouble yet.

I don't know. This has been a common problem for me this year. I've heard albums that I like but I haven't felt compelled to listen to them after a while. We'll see.

[Genuma]

easily AOTY for me.

[imahoodlum]

I listen to the album at least daily. Sometimes more than once a day. I absolutely love it.

[Genuma]

i listen to this album too much.

[Genuma]

the bonus tracks are really good.

[batmannj]

the bonus tracks are really good.
Are the bonus tracks on the iTunes release?

[geebee889]

I do like this album a lot, but I don't know about AOTY yet...

[Genuma]

Are the bonus tracks on the iTunes release?
yeah, there are two. Walking the Dog II (slowed down acoustic version) and an acoustic version of Take Your Time. they both sound great though.

[batmannj]

yeah, there are two. Walking the Dog II (slowed down acoustic version) and an acoustic version of Take Your Time. they both sound great though.
solid. I dl'd the record a while back and I've been listening to it a lot and I can't find it at any stores by me, so I might go the iTunes route. The two bonus tracks sweeten the pot quite a bit.

[The Personist]

"Light A Roman Candle With Me" is my jam.

[jbaseball44]

Finally listened to this for the first time today, good album

[awakeohsleeper]

So I've finally listened to this album based on all the hype here. Didn't enjoy it that much and not a fan of the vocals. Maybe I'll feel it more with a few listens?

[jbaseball44]

I didn't know there was all that much hype for this on here. Upon first listen i like the song "The Gambler" a lot.

[Genuma]

if you were a format fan i think you instantly love this album.

[DejaNew]

if you were a format fan i think you instantly love this album.
Truth.

[boxingwithstars]

i really hope everyone who enjoys this album is buying it. i bought it twice, you guys can afford to buy it at least once! the band deserves the support.

[The Personist]

Seriously. It's so fucking good.

And I bought it!

[jbaseball44]

Upon my first few listens today, "The Gambler" really sticks with me

[zonto]

If I don't get my vinyl before September 8th heads will roll...

[jbaseball44]

"It was the winter of '86, and all the fields had frozen over.
So we moved to Arizona to save our only son
and now he's turning to a man, although he thinks just like his mother,
he believes we're all just lovers he sees hope in everyone.

And even though she moved away,
we always get calls from our daughter.
She has eyes just like her father's
they are blue when skies are grey
And just like him, she never stops,
Never takes the day for granted,
works for everything that's handed to her,
Never once complains.

You think that I nearly lost you
When the doctors tried to take you away.
But like the night you took my hand beside the fire
30 years ago to this day
You swore you'd be here 'til we decide that it's our time
Well it's not time, you've never quit in all your life.
So just take my hand, you know that I'll never leave your side.
You're the love of my life, you know that I'll never leave your side."

One of my favorite parts on the album

[imahoodlum]

I even love the bonus tracks a ton for this album. Excellent.

[boxingwithstars]

me too, this song has been making me teary eyed.

[boxingwithstars]

I even love the bonus tracks a ton for this album. Excellent.

the bonus version of Walking The Dog is sick. i wish they would have done an acoustic recording of All The Pretty Girls, too.

[jbaseball44]

me too, this song has been making me teary eyed.
It's a great song, his vocal delivery on this song is particularly good.

[atarirockstar]

Got into these guys because of the hellogoodbye tour. The girlfriend wanted to see hellogoodbye, and I wanted to see if anybody good was on the tour. I found fun. and I was a little less reluctant to go to the show. They put on an amazing show, and now I'm a fan.

[ashiex3]

I really want to see these guys live. They need to come back down to Florida.

[Genuma]

their Chicago show sold out, good for them.

[Larsfan]

I can't stop listening to this album! It's so amazing. The Gambler, Light a Roman candle with me, Walking the dog, All the pretty girls... man they're all so good.

Nate's voice is so perfect. I especially love the way he sings on Barlights... he just sounds so great.

[muttley]

Missed the signing tonight. This sucks.

[Sigur Ros]

Saw these dudes in Chitown with JM. I loved that demo song.

[Ilovepoprock]

this album's even more than i had hoped for. saw them a couple nights ago, they were as amazing live as the format was.

[Genuma]

Thanks Max, i actually just took the time to read it myself, solid interview, i am starting to like this band more and more.

[Larsfan]

I have a random question... you know when in live performances (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDNTY5nI_88), Nate sometimes says that "it's hard to these keys on the spot"? What does that mean exactly? I really know absolutely nothing about singing and keys and all that, so if someone could enlighten me, i would greatly appreciate it because it irks me everytime i hear him say it and i have no idea what he means lol.

[batmannj]

hmm? (http://www.amazon.com/Aim-Ignite-Fun/dp/B002FOQY2W/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1251675996&sr=8-4)
I don't think it's the same vinyl as the one in the fan pack though. But this in vinyl any form would be awesome.

[undecidedshrub]

how old are they?

[Genuma]

I figured the same, but as you said any would be nice. kinda steep though.

[boxingwithstars]

i really want a poster of the album art.

[Asadcow]

After having this album for quite awhile, I can confidently say that Light a Roman Candle with Me and Walking the Dog have stuck with me as favorites. Not to say the other songs are anything less than spectacular, I am so in love with this album. Just pure fun.

[The Personist]

Aim and Ignite > Daisy

[boxingwithstars]

Aim and Ignite > Daisy

i agree, but it's purely personal. Aim and Ignite is just more my style of music. Daisy is proving to be really difficult for me to get into.

but this morning i listened to Aim and Ignite right after listening to Daisy, and i felt like i had just stepped onto another planet. what a contrast.

but this morning i listened to Aim and Ignite right after listening to Daisy, and i felt like i had just stepped onto another planet. what a contrast.

Just in general, I think fun.'s a better band...or at least a less overrated one. Brand New is so meh.

[Genuma]

The opener and closer on this album are the best. both fucking perfect.

According to iTunes I have listened to this album 35 times haha.

[uchiha]

The opener and closer on this album are the best. both fucking perfect.

According to iTunes I have listened to this album 35 times haha.


lol, mine says that I've listened to Be Calm 26 times... and Take Your Time only 10 times, not listening to the last 4 songs nearly enough.

[Genuma]

lol, mine says that I've listened to Be Calm 26 times... and Take Your Time only 10 times, not listening to the last 4 songs nearly enough.
other than when only the first two singles were out (Walking the Dog and At Least I'm Not as Sad), I've listened to the album as a whole every time. and Take Your Time is probably my favorite, so good.

[uchiha]

I know that 9-11 are my favorite songs on the album, but I always think that I am going to listen to the whole album from start to finish but something always comes up or I lose focus haha... The Gambler is my favorite (I think)

[Genuma]

every song is excellent. I Wanna Be the One is my least favorite, though. I think. well, it's still great.

[imahoodlum]

The opener and closer on this album are the best. both fucking perfect.

According to iTunes I have listened to this album 35 times haha.
I agree. I love Be Calm. I love Take Your Time. Such a solid album.

[HangsLikeHeaven]

i wanna be the one is my favourite from the album.

[liar23]

My favourite is between Be Calm, Walking the Dog, and Barlights. So good.

[HangsLikeHeaven]

I Wanna Be The One > The Gambler > Take Your Time > Be Calm > Walking The Dog > Atleast I'm Not As Sad > the rest

[Genuma]

i wanna be the one is my favourite from the album.
tisk tisk

[Lost Glories]

fanfuckingtastic debut.

[uchiha]

I Wanna Be The One and Light A Roman Candle With Me are definitely my least favorites on the album, but I still enjoy listening to them both

[boxingwithstars]

"i swear, when i grow up, i won't just buy you a rose
i will buy the flower shop, and you will never be lonely"

one of my favorite lines on the whole album. this song is so sweet.

[|adr3naLine|]

This album has yet to even come close to getting old for me, and it's been on constant play. Saw them a little while back too when they toured with MO. Great live show, even when they only played a handful of their own songs.

[SilverWings]

It's a shame they aren't called '.fun' cos then you called vocally refer to them as 'period fun'

[Genuma]

this band is fun, period.

[brentywat]

i keep enjoying this the more i listen to it. so great. that ridiculously high note he hits right in the middle of the first song is crazy.

[imahoodlum]

It makes me terribly sad they are not coming to Texas soon.

[chipdip18]

Great pop album. I interviewed them. Swt Brag.

[HipYoungGun]

My first time spinning this album, or any of the tracks from them for that matter. I'm in awe.

[chipdip18]

[chipdip18]

Ah haha nice job you and Max.

[jbaseball44]

We got your back Jacob

[Genuma]

bump.

[batmannj]

I don't think I've heard a release this good that has stuck with me as much as this one. This, Grizzly Bear, and Thrice are going to have a fight to see who my album of the year is.

[ashiex3]

Still listening to/loving Aim & Ignite.

[Genuma]

my AOTY still, as stereotypical as that is.

[ashiex3]

It will most likely be my aoty.

[abbreviation]

fun. is so good live.

SO GOOD

[HipYoungGun]

you just don't hear music like this anymore. it's incredible. aoty and I hope to see them live.

[zonto]

fun. is so good live.

SO GOOD

This x1,000,000. Top 3 bands I've ever seen live.

you just don't hear music like this anymore. it's incredible. aoty and I hope to see them live.

Read above. :-d

[runningohfive]

Everyone is saying how awesome they are live! Argh! I need to take off work one day to see there show, seriously.

[jbaseball44]

It annoys me that they get compared to The Format so much, they are miles better.

[nonamesleft]

I listened to them this morning. So good.

[Genuma]

It annoys me that they get compared to The Format so much, they are miles better.
if they put out another album this good, I'll agree 100%.

[jbaseball44]

if they put out another album this good, I'll agree 100%.
I don't really like The Format at all, so one good album by fun. wins it for me.

[TachyonEvan]

Saw them last week, seeing them again in a month.

[boxingwithstars]

It annoys me that they get compared to The Format so much, they are miles better.

it almost hurts me to say that i agree with this. the more i listen to this album though, the more i like it better than Dog Problems.

[TachyonEvan]

Oh, they're definitely better than The Format.

[Genuma]

I love both bands and have listened to Aim and Ignite over 50 times now, I believe my iTunes says, but it's only 10 songs. I don't think one album (even if it is better than the other two) can prove them as a better band.

[boxingwithstars]

does anyone know what's up with the video they shot for All The Pretty Girls?

[TachyonEvan]

So stoked- may be seeing them again on Tuesday.

[bobby runs]

Album is top five for me for sure.

[mrzippo3]

Anyone else going to Chain Reaction or the Troubadour next week for these shows? SO excited!

*5,000th post. SCORE

[SincerelyMe]

I can't stop listening to this album.

[RecklessXRandy]

Still doesn't get old

[Jaimehere]

love the different sounds you can hear in this album, they do it without letting it sound too mashed up, great album :)

[Genuma]

fuck, this is at the top of the list and I definitely love it, I just don't know if this is really #1 for me.

[Five-Star]

Album still gets played.

[boxingwithstars]

Believe In Me is so good.

i was in Charlotte Russe yesterday and they were playing All The Pretty Girls. i got so excited.

[hitormiss92]

Is fun. working on a new CD? I really want new music out of these guys! Barlights is my jam!

And.... fun.>>>>Format

[VampiresRevenge]

I love Aim & Ignite.

[katyara]

What was their holiday song called? I only remember hearing it once at a friend's. It was really good, though.

[liar23]

Believe In Me.

[KingJohn_654]

i've seen fun. twice.

/siq brag.

[stereokiller]

album of the year for me - aim and ignite.

i love this band.

[Momo32T]

Listened to it when it first came down, then I put it down for a while once I become immersed in Beggars and Daisy. Picked it up again a few weeks ago and fell in love with it. Always loved the Format, but love the Beach Boys/Queen feel of fun.

[krystofer]

Love all the refrences to The Format in Take Your Time (Coming Home)

[bobby runs]

I hope I can see them next month with Jack's

[katyara]

Believe In Me.

Awesome, thanks.

[hitormiss92]

can you guys name some bands that sound like fun.?

[Genuma]

the format

[hitormiss92]

besides the format? that one is like /duh

[krystofer]

haha Beach Boys and Queen both influenced The Format which you can kind of hear within their music, not many bands sound like fun. and The Format

[boxingwithstars]

can you guys name some bands that sound like fun.?

you should check out Miniature Tigers.

and i think fun. sounds like Mika sometimes.

[BensonHedges]

So in love with this album. Can't remember the last time I loved an album like I do this one. Every time I think I've got the whole thing down, something comes out of nowhere and surprises me.



and i think fun. sounds like Mika sometimes.

"At Least I'm Not As Sad" is especially Mika-esque.

[tottivillarossi]

Who is the girl in At Least I'm Not As Sad (As I Used To Be)?

[jender4]

Good Indie band. i got the album and enjoyed it for a day or two...

[fanberlinboy]

Good Indie band. i got the album and enjoyed it for a day or two...
See, it was the first day or two where I wasn't so sure about it and then after that, I couldn't stop listening to it.

[BensonHedges]

Does anyone know of a place to get the writing credits for the album? I don't have a hard copy and I'm curious what's solely Nate and what might have had some help from the other guys.

[Chris92]

See, it was the first day or two where I wasn't so sure about it and then after that, I couldn't stop listening to it.
Not me. The moment the whole band came in in "Be Calm" i was fucking sold, haha.
The first 2:30 weren't that enjoyable first time though...
I loved it starting from "I don't remember much that night..."

[funployee]

I enjoyed this album so much when it came out, and can't wait to spin it all summer as well

[boxingwithstars]

i'm so excited to finally see them again at the end of this month with MCS! i saw them live once months before the album even came out... and they haven't been back to FL since.

[Charles777]

God I love their album. I wish all music was like it.

[fanberlinboy]

Not me. The moment the whole band came in in "Be Calm" i was fucking sold, haha.
The first 2:30 weren't that enjoyable first time though...
I loved it starting from "I don't remember much that night..."
Well, even in those first two days, I couldn't stop listening to it haha.

[jender4]

See, it was the first day or two where I wasn't so sure about it and then after that, I couldn't stop listening to it.

Then is uppose it is only fair to give them another listen 8]

[fanberlinboy]

Then is uppose it is only fair to give them another listen 8]
Yeah, I'm saying the first day or two, I wasn't sure about it and then after that, I absolutely loved it. Definitely my 09 album of the year.

[Genuma]

live EP is pretty good, it's nice to have better live recordings.

[anthonydarko]

I'll definitely will be blaring their record all summer.

[aradiantsunrise]

They'll be here in a few days. I'm broke. Sadness.

[BensonHedges]

I listened to Aim and Ignite start to finish last night and it was such an enjoyable way to spend an evening.

[Charles777]

I was resting my eyes in class and I decided to listen to it. I fell asleep during Be Calm and woke up at the end of Take Your Time (Coming Home). Lame!

[ashiex3]

I wish I could see them when they come to Orlando with MCS, but its the day before finals.

[BigG1392]

Seeing them next Monday with Paramore/Relient K! Can't wait

[katyara]

Seeing them next Monday with Paramore/Relient K! Can't wait

I'm seeing those same bands on the 28th. It's going to be awesome.

[KingJohn_654]

"Be Calm" is their best song.

[boxingwithstars]

i just heard Walking The Dog on an Expedia commercial. weird...

[awakeohsleeper]

Crap, did not realise they were touring the UK. They're playing on May 30th in my hometown but there's no way of getting back at this short notice. I'm so stupid for not realising.

[SpyKi]

Saw them in Portland a few nights ago. "What The Fuck" sounds pretty good, I like the little bridge section. Really just a great concert overall, the band was excellent and Steel Train continues to be one of my favorite live acts. Dog Problems in the set was an awesome surprise.

[handlikesecret]

hoping to see them with Steel Train in December. seems like it'd be a killer show.

Good news for people living in CA. Not only are they playing Coachella, but they have shows at Pomona and SF the week after. I predict that they'll debut a lot of new stuff at these shows

[BensonHedges]

It'll be awesome if the new album comes out some time early this summer. I think I remember Andrew tweeting that they're songwriting some more.

Be Calm.

Now listening to the whole album over @ bandcamp

[A7XXX]

Here are some new songs they played at a recent show. Hearing them both makes me so much more excited for the album. Credit to the person who posted them up. I was expecting them to play WTF but they didn't. Weird

Seeing them tomorrow for free. Jawesome.

[BensonHedges]

Trying to decide if I want to shell out the cash for the Panic at the Disco show, since it will be mostly to see them. New songs sound good!

[A7XXX]

Since I have so much time on my hands I found these treasures on youtube. Enjoy!

I love these vids.. some inclomplete songs towards the end but still awesome..

[machiste77]

Anyone know why 'what the fuck' isn't on the new record?

[thirtyfourdays]

it's amazing to see how popular this band has gotten.

i've had the pleasure of seeing them a few times and each time was on a completely different level.

1. saw them open for manchester orchestra in philly a few years back, before Aim and Ignite was released. (I think they played a few The Format songs too)
2. saw them open for Taking Back Sunday and Anberlin in PA at Croc Rock
3. Saw them headline in NYC at Webster Hall to a sell out crowd singing and dancing along. Absolutely amazing to see it all come full circle.

hoping to catch them in NYC on the tour this summer.

What up.

[whiterussian]

I'm not a big fan so I might be wrong, but wasn't the mix on Conan terrible? Barely any guitar or keyboards, or backing vocals. Bass, drums and vocals were stellar though, great band.

"No cameras" + obvious hiding of camera = lawl. They sounded awesome though.

[thecreator]

Heard "We Are Young" on the radio today. I'm really happy for them and their success. Good for them. Gonna buy tickets to see them in March for my birthday. I'm stoked.

[Kyleeee]

Am I the only one who thinks "We Are Young" is an immensely boring song?

[muttley]

Probably not.

[SophGod]

i enjoy We Are Young a lot

[TachyonEvan]

It's good, not my favorite on the album.

[chipdip18]

Not my favorite either.

[vivatoto56]

Agreed, not the biggest fan of the song.

How great is Out On The Town though? The answer is so great.

[BigG1392]

Whole album fucking rules.

[chipdip18]

That live version of 'We Are Young' was underwhelming.

[thecreator]

Title track is my favorite on the album.

A Grantland article all about fun. Cool.

[Sakarazu]

Carry on might be my favorite on the album but I'm not sure. Going to my hot topic this weekend, which was on the list, hoping it's not sold out.

[thecreator]

Went to go buy my tickets for their show here...and it's sold out. I am sad now. :-(
