The Stiletto Formal

August 22, 2006 By Manuel Enrique Garcia Leave a Comment

Everyone should check out The Stilletto Formal. They are a band from Arizona and I saw them at Warped Tour and I was blown away. There is a keyboardist and a cellist, among the rest of the instruments. The music is extremely different and it offers something new and unique to listen to. The songs catch you off guard with their multitudes of musicianship. This is a band to check out, just listen to them out here.
