Surprised by how quickly the reissues sold, The Format are “discussing options for those who missed out” and promise that “more news” is forthcoming.
Dog Problems sold out.. Never imagined they would go in 5 hours, so we're discussing options for those who missed out. More news tomorrow.

As we noted yesterday, both Means and Ruess have the next several months off from their respective new projects, should any anniversary/reunion shows follow the reissues. As of now, no further announcements have been made.
Along with the vinyl releases of the band's two full-lengths, a die-cut 7-inch of their single “Swans” was also announced, and is still available for pre-order. All releases are expected to ship on or around Jan. 2.
