The Stiletto Formal is a self-proclaimed "eccentric rock and roll" band from Phoenix, Arizona, and are one of the few rock bands featuring a cello and other exotic instruments and effects as an integral part of their sound. In addition, unusual time signatures, and Kyle Howard's falsetto provide distinction in the music. Their lyrics are often constructed into a short story format. They have gained a local fanbase in Arizona and are attracting national attention after playing nationwide tours and appearing on the Vans Warped Tour.
