The Modern Baseball Movement

Fascinating. So much respect for Modern Baseball.

 

even if musically i'm still torn on them i appreciate this band so much

 

i'm over this band

The article is written well, but it feels like it's trying to hard to be presented in a 'modern' way.

And don't get me started on the lame af "bios" of the members

 

Always like longform pieces.

 

aren't the typography on the links the same from the album cover? I'm admittedly not a big fan so I don't know for certain...

 

This just goes to confirm my thoughts that MoBo will be a band that is remembered. I think their career is kind of echoing MCS's, in that they're kind of the spiritual successors of that sort of smart pop punk. I really love everything they're doing to extend their influence beyond the stage.

 

Not the biggest fan. I enjoyed Holy Ghost but didn't find anything too lasting in it. But this was a really interesting insight.

 

thats an interesting comparison

 

I love Modern Baseball but jesus christ this is too many words about Modern Baseball.

 

I love Mobo and this article is awesome

 

I still think they way overplayed the mental health aspect of Holy Ghost in a way that almost exploits it for the sake of standing out / creating a narrative for the band (i loved the documentary and how it made it seem like the album would be a cathartic experience similar to it that tackled these issues head on, but the album itself is pretty superficial about it outside of Jake's tracks).

With that being said, i'm glad kids are flocking to this band and that they are doing their part to make the scene better and i really like the way the article was written and i think the gimmicks (bios, links, etc) are fun and make sense for the band / type of article.

 

Don't care for their music, but I respect the hell out of this band.

 

That's great they're doing all that. I'm really interested if they've run into any difficulties providing free water at shows. I used to tour manage bands and we would offer free bottles of water at the merch table since venues were okay with providing 5 band members 48 bottles of water but not giving it out free to people in the crowd.

 

Could never get into these guys but the new record is killer. Love all of the first side. Second side isn't as strong overall but probably has two of the top three songs (Apple cider and just another face).

 

I second this, always thought that they will be a really important band of their generation.

 

This is nothing but a great, positive movement, much appreciated!
