Simply put, Modern Baseball is a band that comes across as truly genuine. Hailing from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the 4-piece are a group of young and up-and-coming lads whose first LP Sports was recorded while the band was still in college. Although young, the band has proven they are quite capable of composing some fine groove-centric punk whose lyrical content is both likable and relatable. Drum and bass tracking is particularly stellar on their LPs and many songs delve into heartfelt content such as feeling unnoticed amongst peers, or dealing with watching everyone around you aspire to success. Another interesting quality worth pointing out is the band's tendency to diverge from the idea of a dedicated lead singer. In fact, some would say the band really has no dedicated lead singer as each member can be heard singing at some point on their tracks. Each member at some point has even been privileged to sing entire tracks from start to finish. To this effect, Modern Baseball presents an enjoyable and interesting layer of diversity and variation to their albums. You never know who's gonna get the vocal spotlight next on each track! While other bands out there have probably employed this idea, it's something I have personally never encountered. As such, I could whole-heartedly say that this band is fantastic and is creating some of the most truly genuine and heartfelt tracks I've heard recently. Their third LP Holy Ghost is due out May 13th and I couldn't be more stoked after hearing two singles off the album which I'll include below. Give these guys a listen and support them! I promise you they are worth the time.
