Modern Baseball are a uniquely contemporary band. Their quirky, tuneful songs convey how it feels to be young and hopeless in modern America - a cracked cellphone clutched in one's hand, subconsciously refreshing social media, hoping to get noticed by that girl at the party and ignored by the ghosts from high school past. Calling on Say Anything's bravado, the Front Bottoms' tongue-in-cheek quirk and the Weakerthans' literary misery, Modern Baseball have made a record with remarkable depth and relate-ability.
