I love modern baseball because I'm ugly and they're the representation I need.

They did a show in boston and played "mass", and when Jake sang "my baby's in Massachusetts" he said "that's here!" And that's the best moment of my life.

i started listening to them about a month after they ‘split’, that’s what i call a modern tragedy

Incredible video, Harrison!

I honestly believe that "Pothole" might be the most emotionally devastating song ever

Leaving this comment, in case MoBo reunites and releases new music

I'm glad we could both appreciate these guys, Re-Do and Broken Cash Machine are 2 of my favorite songs ever written

I feel like this but with The Front Bottoms. LOVE modern baseball too!

I love this band to death. Ian, Sean, Jake and Brendan will always have a special place in my heart. Holy Ghost makes me cry every single time I listen to it. Every single time. I'm incredibly biased because that album was the soundtrack to my most tumultuous mental health years, and knowing the story behind it and why each part is so raw (especially Brendan's) and different to their past albums, coupled with the explosively melancholy performances always brings a sense of catharsis that make me cry tears of defeat and pride all mixed into one gross cocktail. The timeline of their albums and the issues they explore could honestly be a movie; a bunch of sad highschoolers who don't fit in start making music about girls who don't love them back, suddenly getting hit with the toughest experiences of their lives and the way it breaks them, only for them to remold themselves is such a touching tale of maturity it would fit right in with a classic 90's coming-of-age movie. But instead it's a three album (with a smattering of singles and EP's and splits) sonic experience that is so real it becomes uncomfortable. I think the reason this MoBo "character arc" always chokes me up at the end is that I listened to these albums at roughly the same age the guys in the band were when they put them out, and each one ended up being a soundtrack so perfect for my own high-school coming of age experience that by the time Holy Ghost rocked around, I didn't feel alone even when I continually isolated myself from my friends and family. I didn't feel alone in wanting to end it all, and I didn't feel alone in feeling out of touch and distant from everyone around me. At first I just clung onto those words, "I'm a waste of time and space" and would ignore the rest of the bands message out of sheer stubbornness and not wanting to get better. But eventually I did, and Brendan's vocal performance on the last leg of the album with the rest of the band playing as passionately as they do with as much chemistry as they do always brings me to tears, because it chips away at that iceberg of stubbornness every single time. And I've listened to it so many times the vinyl is basically unusable. It chipped away at that iceberg so much I started to reach out to my friends and family and counselors to help me chip away the rest, and I did in the end. For me now, MoBo's "character arc" and specifically Holy Ghost will always continue to make me ball my eyes out, but now it's mostly out of pride, both in those sweet sweet Midwestern boys, and myself.

Thank you MoBo. Thank you.


(Also thought I would mention that the reason Holy Ghost is such a flurry is because Brendan had to write his half of the album in like a week to make the deadline, they flow into each other because honestly it's basically one big stream-of-consciousness thought, which for me I really like and prefer to the previous two albums)

MoBo has definitely become one of the most influential punk bands of this past decade. Name any pop punk, folk punk, and indie punk band that's come about after 2015 and I'm sure you can clearly identify the MoBo influence.

I have to say, you've been one of my biggest influences in music for the last year ! amazing video as always

Knew Alfo was a sad boi. I could feel it in my bones.

“Why I love Title Fight”😔next?

I was literally just thinking about how amazing the transition is between Charlie Black and Timmy Bowers before I clicked on this video.

7:40 the opening to rock bottom IS the text from her friend. It's not jealousy, it's the girl's friend encouraging her to get with bren

Their acoustic of ‘Apartment’ takes me back to when i was 15 and in my first relationship. Makes my heat sink and lift at the same time

Modern Baseball and Car Seat Headrest are my two favourite bands. Alfo perfectly described the ingenious of MB's music.

But I feel like the thrash particle is a little underrated it’s so good 😤🥺

rip mobo, saw their final show in London, I miss them a lot, was glad I was able to meet all of them, except for Brendan
