My matesssss, I hopen you have all been very well. I've wanted to make this video for a long time, but it was honestly a pretty hard video for me to make and I kept pushing it off, but I decided enough was enough and just went for it.
Modern Baseball is such an important band for so many reasons that I won't get into because I talk about it in the video haha, but for real I hope you enjoy it. I decided to call this video Long Live Modern Baseball because I want to do my tiny part in helping preserve Modern Baseball's legacy, MoBo forever.
Modern Baseball consisted of Brendan Lukens, Jake Ewald, Ian Farmer, and Sean Huber. They formed in 2011, signed to Run For Cover Records in 2012 and put out thier debut album Sports in late 2012. MoBo has also released masterpieces such as You're Gonna Miss It All, Holy Ghost, The Perfect Cast EP, some splits, and incrediblr singles.
They put out classic songs with classic music videos such as: Your Graduation, The Weekend, and Rock Bottom. MoBo can do no wrong.
I'll love them forever, but I'm very self-aware that I'm incredibly biased...
Now, it's time for the feature presentation: Long Live Modern Baseball
I will thank you and eat a jolly rancher if you follow my brand on IG @matesclubusa
thank you always
Love you.

Thank you so much and have an outstanding Monday!
i hope they watch this m8, this was so perfectly articulated wishing u the best ♡
Will share because modern baseball and you need appreciation
I feel like mobo came into everyone's life just at the right time
Mega Chonk yes! They got me through high school
True
found them at the most depressing time if my life and they helped me so much
Modern Baseball is what a coming-of-age film would be if it were a band
This actually took my breath away, you fuck.
wow, that's so accurate
holy fuck this is insightful
As someone who writes scripts, they make one hell of a soundtrack band
I just want Modern Baseball to come back even though I know the reality
i know :/
Slaughter beach dog!!!
Alice Defrenne you’re right but it’s only half of Mobo
@@alisondefrenne3608 awesome music but completely different to mobp
Yeah I know it's not the same but still really good, just glad they're still making stuff tbh even if it's not as mobo
CZcams recommend actually doing it's job for once. Well done.
Modern Baseball feel less like a band and more like a group of friends you grew up with.
to me, mobo is the band that makes you feel like you can do it, Be happy, be sad, start a band whatever it is you wanna do they make me feel like I can do it. Thank you Nate for this video.
I agree so hard, Trevor. Love u mate
It’s been three whole years of me thinking about you everyday
this is the best reply
sometimes for hours, sometimes in passing

I've never actually put into words what modern baseball means to me, so here it goes. Mobo is my favorite band and they have been since the summer of 2015. I was 15 and only recently gotten into pop punk, and that's all because of my older brother who started introducing me to iconic bands like fireworks, state champs, man overboard, and so many others that are considered pop punk staples. Of course, I still love pop punk, but I don't find myself listening to some of those "old" bands anymore. Modern baseball is different through. From the moment I first heard your graduation, I knew it was something special. I was young and my music taste very much defined who I was, or at least who I wanted to be. In my head I was misunderstood and different and all of those cliches that pop punk kids tell themselves. But Mobo made me realize it was okay to be a little weird and different, without being resentful of a society that often chooses to alienate teenagers who like alternative music and the social scene surrounding it. Then, I got into a pretty bad accident that left me physically fine, but pretty emotionally traumatized. That sounds melodramatic, but what I went through was a lot for a teenager who was already struggling with unrecognized anxiety. Looking back on what my mental state was like afterwards is crazy, because I can't believe I survived what was going on in my own head. Modern baseball really helped me through it though, because it was angsty and funny and honest. I found myself in every word of every song, and I was stoked when they announced Holy Ghost. When that album came out I listened to it on repeat for what feels like forever. Every night before I fell asleep I would give it a full listen through, and I did that for months. That album truly changed my life for the better. It sounds super cliche, but for once in my short little life I felt like somebody else got what I was going through. And one fateful day they announced a tour that would be stopping in my city, and I immediately begged my mom for tickets. She obliged and in a few short months I was going to be seeing my favorite band of all time play live. Sadly enough they cancelled that tour and announced their hiatus. I, of course, was devastated. Heartbroken, even. I'd never experienced a band that I was invested in break up, let alone one that seemed to happen so abruptly. After I watched tripping in the dark I thought that there was nothing that could happen to bring them down. It seemed like they'd been through it all, and were taking a victory lap with Holy Ghost and the subsequent touring. But I guess we all learned the hard way that things aren't always as they seem. I mourned them, I really did. I gave myself a break from their music, too heartbroken to listen to my favorite songs for reminder that it was all over. Eventually I was listening to their music again though, this time with a new outlook on it. The thing about Mobo was that it felt tailored to people my age, but now 4 years after I discovered them, it somehow seems timeless despite me still being a teenager. The boys had a way of writing that cut deep despite their ages. It was poetic and thoughtful and raw even when it wasn't trying to be. Mobo saw me through what was the weirdest and hardest to traverse part of my life thus far. But in continuing to grow and become a more complex person, I have continued to rely on modern baseball. What they have written has only gained a newer and more meaningful place in my life. Unlike some bands that I used to love but now kind of cringe at, Mobo hasn't been a phase. Their music and their message is versatile and one that always needs to be heard. Mental health is a huge discussion topic within this scene now, and I definitely think Mobo helped pave the way for that. Thanks for the video, I hope you enjoyed my story, and long live Modern Baseball.
@David Optional I really didn't want to respond because I know that exactly what you wanted from this reply. But I wrote this whole long ass thing about growing out of other bands, but not growing out of mobo, and yet you have the gall to comment about how I'm gonna cringe at them some day. I seriously doubt it, but so what if that does happen? Why can't you just be okay with the fact that young people often like things that they grow out of eventually. Why would there ever be a problem with that. I don't sit around watching blue's clues anymore, but that doesn't mean I cringe at the thought of having watched it. I grew out of it because it was meant for kids. As clearly stated, mobo's demographic was/is teenagers and other young adults. So who fucking cares if my opinion on their songwriting changes as I continue to age. I don't understand why having a pretentious attitude towards music written by and for young people continues to be a part of this scene. Tons of other bands that are way more popular than mobo ever was remain popular to an aging group of people who still considered themselves pop punk, despite their lyrics being just as, and if not more, shallow and immature than anything mobo released.
I was 15 when I first heard Mobo, my crush at the time liked them and I remember listening to Apartment first and thinking “yes, I love this, THIS is what I want with my crush,” Things never worked out and my depression was worsening as sophomore year went on, but the more I listened to mobo the more i could relate, they really helped me through so many shit social situations and the bs of dealing with self doubt and figuring out who I am from that terrible HS to college transition... No other band really spoke to me as much as Mobo
My first Modern Baseball was Tears Over Beers too. I still listen to their music all the time, my playlists mostly consist of their music. Just Another Face, specifically, really get to me every time.
I saw Mobo and The Front Bottoms on Brand New's 2016 anniversary tour and it was arguably the best concert next to May Day Parade's anniversary tour, and Blink182's reunion tour in 2009 with old Panic! And old FOB
Thank you for this. I just discovered them a couple years ago. On paper, I probably shouldn’t be as big a fan as I am. I’m almost 36 years old, have a family, a mortgage and a 60 hour a week job. I was into MXPX, Weezer and Green Day when I was a kid, but have “grown past” most of that music. But when I stumbled across Modern Baseball on CZcams a couple years ago, I instantly fell in love with their music. Their honesty in angst, written so cleverly, brought me back to my youth. It was like hearing the Weezer blue album for the first time again, but more refreshing and honest. I’d love to see them get back together.
"You weren't the only one who thought of us that way.."
“I spend most nights awake, wide awake..”
Thought of us as not good partners... Btw.
I sort of forgot about these guys after I grew up a bit. Listened to em earlier today and found out they were broken up and something in me started hurting a little. I had a special place in my heart for this band after all these years. They weren't virtuosic musicians or particularly super talented. They were just right and good at being their own band. Indeed a special group who captured the vibe and atmosphere of the indie/emo person in the 2010s
First MoBo song I had heard was Apartment, long live Modern Baseball!🧡
But Hey Pinegrove is right beside MoBo to me! Both bands know how to put my feelings into all their songs💚
This video really does mobo justice it's so nice. thanks for making this dude
They played a small show in a record shop with Real Friends, Then played with the Story so far , Then Last time i saw them play with was PUP. Your Graduation still get me emotional to this day.
I found modern baseball through listening to the front bottoms and really love listening to them, I’ve also been a fan of hobo Johnson for a while because he seems so passionate in his music
I got a chance to see these guys during their UK tour and they were incredible, long live MOBO
I was playing GTA V and I heard "California Grrls". When I went searching the clip, a guy commented: "you sing like the main singer of Modern Baseball". The name of the band got me and I searched them. I heard "Your graduation" first. Yep, it was love at first listening. It was 2015 and I listened only MoBo because the lyrics were so real, the feeling that they share with you, the teen anxiety and melancholic vibe some of the songs had, were really cool. I was sad when I heard they broke up and a couple of them had anxiety issues (I have them too, lol) and I hope they can get rid of it and join again. Without Marietta and Modern Baseball, my Spotify playlist is not as good as it could be. Nobody around me listen to this bands. Why? Maybe because I'm from Lima, Peru and they're not "popular" there, however, as my mom always says, music has no borders. Lots of love.
Saw them 2 times in Germany had the microphone 5 times and literally cried so hard everytime they’re my all time fav I have a tattoo aswell and am in love with their other projects oof I love that video thanks bruh
I had just graduated high school when I saw them live with Brand New. Holy Ghost is on repeat forever along with all the other discography.
I had a ticket to a show in their last tour but it got canceled. I just really wish I had gotten to go to that show, to at least say goodbye.
I almost started crying at the end when Nate choked up during the last line.
This is something Finn Mckenty would make
agreed
I just discovered modern baseball like last year and it's doing me a sad that they're doing a hiatus. This video makes my heart do a happy
You should be happy for the hiatus, not sad at all. It's for their own good.
Modern Baseball is a band that is impossible to forget. They had me @chl03k.
Holy shit I didn't know that Slaughter Beach, Dog had another band before that one.
My first MOBO song was Old Gospel Choir and i was hooked. Went to their concert in indy, November 2015. Still one of my best memories. So healing and really made me feel that my thoughts were being spoken. Rip MOBO
i know this video is a little older, but i wanted to add my two penneth because i realltntreasure mobo so much to not say anything in passing. even though my music taste has changed drastically in the last few years, i still hold such love and emotions for them and their music like i do with no other group. at the time when i was heavily into them (in about 2015-2016) i had gone through a breakup, the loss of a family member, the loss of a long-term friend, and my parents divorce, so to say i was in a bad place would be an understatement. i was getting to be addicted to drugs and i was drinking until i couldn’t even remember my name, and i had pregnancies scares from my inability to control myself. and then i got my modern baseball tattoo in jake’s handwriting on my wrist, and after an intimate show in a record shop, he and bren told me how much it meant to them that they’d helped me through an awful time; this was my turning point. i really owe the entire group and their music the world, because they made me feel normal and fine and like i wasn’t suffering through depression and anxieties alone, and it wasn’t even thanks to fake words and false expressions of sincerity like in my past. my tattoo is lyrics from ‘coals’, which read: “i’m alright and i’m always getting better”. and to this day, i look at it and i remember, and i breathe easier. because yeah life can be a real bitch sometimes, but i’m alive and i am healthy enough and i am happy enough. and i owe a lot of it to modern baseball
I usually cant make it through full mobo songs anymore. The level of raw nostalgia just hurts too much
Thank you so much for this. It’s really just awesome to hear someone talk about mobo because where I live, no one has a clue what this music scene is. This video was honestly great and refreshing. I hope you have a nice week dude!
Wow. I love this video. I feel the exact same way about this band. Thank you for making this. I literally draw tears sometimes thinking they’ll never tour or make music again, but they really did create a legacy. I’ll probably always listen to MOBO. Their energy performing is just like they’re at band practice with close friends hanging out.
A friend reccomended listening to Modern Baseball to me not long ago, i gave a listen to one song and i said "this is cool" and didnt give them a listen again until i saw this video. I stopped about a minute in and went and listened to ad much as i could. I had no clue two of the coolest bands i ever met (Elephant Jake & Nowadays) were so influenced by Mobo in their sound and i didnt have the right way to explain it for the longest time. Their music is inspiring on an artistic level that i cant put into words, but i really aspire to make music on the level which they did. Thank you for the amazing video
man mobo was the music i listened to during the biggest changing points in my life this band holds such a strangely bittersweet place in my heart
I am beyond honored to have seen this band live. I still hope they restock their merch because they have dope merch. Come back MOBO!
seeing them live was the highlight of my life
Thank you for making this video! Modern Baseball Is truly an amazing band!
1. 16 year old Natey the Matey is incredible especially the haircut
2. Amazing video even tho it hurt me inside 😔✊🏼
i'm not even a modern baseball fan but ive now watched almost every video you have on them. these are really awesome videos!
I found modern baseball my 10th grade year, I’ve listened to it while I was had and when I was sad, this bad is everything to me and constantly will be forever something I can count on to be there to help me through tough times, thank you for everything.
this video made me cry.. i miss them so much :( im so lucky i got to see them live
“I think I saw you in my profile picture once” was the first mb song I really fell in love with. great video!
Awesome video man, they have been my favorite band for four years now
this is by far you best video yet, keep it like that
Nate, my bro, I have to admit I cried toward the end of this video. I too love this band more than words could describe. This band,MODERN BASEBALL were so incredibly talented. You sir did such a wonderful job with this video. I've been an avid follower of modern baseball for many years. I love them so much.
MOBO helped me get through my senior year. I’d listen to them on repeat when I fell in love with a girl I couldn’t have. When my closest friend and i stopped talking. When I thought I’d never get through whatever was bothering me. Then I listened to them when I asked out the girl that I love. We now live together and I still blast Sports to this day. God bless you MOBO, come back soon
Liked and shared. Excellent video, man. I've been listening to Modern Baseball ever since a friend of mine recommended them to me a few years ago. I was lucky enough to see them live in 2016 alongside Joyce Manor and Thin Lips. They've been my favorite band since and I don't think that's going to change anytime soon.
Got into this band when they released the your graduation music video. Was always listening to sports on a loop after that. I really hoped they would come to my country (Portugal) because that would be awesome and we dont really get many bands of this kind. Its sad i never got to see them live but i feel like they where those guys you could look to and say Yeah i feel this too, i can relate to their songs, i like their sound and they speak to me even though they are in the other side of the world i feel like they where my friends too. Really talented guys
Just Another Face always reminds me of my ex girlfriend who had to deal with severe depression and mild panic disorder. Capturing the thought that you are very proud of someone and wanting to stay with them through the whole process gives me chills everytime. Sadly i could never really tell her that, maybe the song will tell her that one day.
I love this so much. Mobo holds a special place in my heart.
just gave this a 2nd watch. i started listening to them right when holy ghost dropped so i wasn’t a fan as long as others but their music really stuck out to me. i remember i would take my dog outside and i would sit on a swing and listen to holy ghost all the way through before going back inside. i did this every day for weeks and months on end. all of their music is beyond amazing and i’m forever thankful for coming across them
i couldn’t have said it better, with the way you talked about how modern baseball was that band you didn’t know you needed. i feel absolutely the same way about this group, and i feel like this video encompasses a lot of great things about the boys. also really loved this style of video, keep doing what your doing mate!
thank you my mate!
I listen to their album Sports everyday. I hope some day they get back together and make music again. They’re such an amazing band. Great video.
dude just for bringing up the subject and me being able to relate on how you think about mobo you deserve the best and my like
I was just reflecting on when I moved to college and went to see a MOBO show by myself in a new city, and got to meet Bren outside after the show. I found them in high school and their music followed me through so much. Then this video popped up on my feed to continue the nostalgia ☺️ love it!
Great video Nate! I'm hella sad I did not get the chance to see MoBo live before their disband. However, I saw Slaughter Beach, Dog. But it was not the same without Bren lol
Great tribute video. As my favorite and many other people’s favorite band of all time I feel you did them justice. Thankyou🙏🏻. Long live mobo
Im pretty sure mt ex introduced me to Mobo but i possibly found them through bandcamp, i still hold good memories (and sometimes hurtful ones) i love this band to bits and i was so sad to find out they broke up. Ive always wanted to go to a Mobo concert.
Love live Mobo
I’m in tears. I never really dove into their music before finding your channel, & I’m extremely happy I did. Thank you for sharing their music & helping their legacy live on Nate.
Daniel Saucedo thank you Daniel
it was hard to put into words why they matter a lot to me before, but you really pinned it down with this video :)
Thank you for making this dude. Im crying, mobo will live on in all of us, ive loved them since late 2012, and im just glad i got to watch them grow, they helped me in so many ways.
Hannah McDonald MoBo forever 💕
MOBO was a find for me on Spotify and I’m glad I did
Got to see them with Joyce manor
It makes me sad how I've only found out about them last year and loved each and every one of their songs. I just wished I found out about them sooner and maybe been able to see the band together.
Sir, I just wanted to say that this video 100% resonated with me. I was dealing with the same exact situation as you that you described at the end of this video. You’re absolutely right, a lot of people dealing with mental health issues look at help as a bad thing. It’s quite ironic. Just like you a MoBo song opened a part of me I didn’t know existed, for me it was “Note To Self” off of Holy Ghost.
The section that really got me was “Where I want to be still seems a thousand miles away. But pretending we feel safe right here gets harder everyday. It’s a note to self mislaid, you ate words you always used to say.”
I was depressed, in my senior year of high school, and lived in Vegas. A big city where everyone has big dreams that always come crashing and burning. I had stresses of your average teens life in high school plus the stresses of the constant loss of family members and friends due to suicide the last couple years. I also had the gnawing stress of “what the hell am I going to do with my life?” and also the stress of graduation.
After two failed suicide attempts, one the year prior and one just a couple months before graduation I just continued on with life almost like I was a robot. Then I stumbled across their album Holy Ghost and heard Note To Self, I listened to MoBo previous but only one or two songs. There was something therapeutic and eye opening about that segment. It singlehandedly got me to reach out to one of my closest friends about it and it eventually leaded to me getting help. I am forever grateful for MoBo, now here I am in my sophomore year in college trying to pave my way throughout life. I guess you could say I owe them my life as well. Thank you for the video, if you end up reading this thank you because at least I know I’m not the only one that feels this way about MoBo.
I LOVE MODERN BASEBALL. I’ve been waiting for them to tour over here. He even mention in one of their songs that they were near me touring. I miss them 🤧
Modern Baseball reminds me of the reckless time in my life where i met some of the best friends i had in my high school years, and had the absolute most fun.
Modern baseball quite simply just do it for me. There’s been a song to help me in every difficult situation I’ve had even if it’s just been one line. I got a whatever forever tattoo this year that no one ever really sees and it’s like a secret little reminder that everything will be fine, it’ll just be whatever. Cheesy but I love it.
I still hate I wasn’t into them when I could’ve seen them at this little bar in my hometown with The Wonder Years (the tour you discuss). When I realized it I literally almost cried. I could’ve gotten into them & seen them with my fave band. And now they’re on hiatus & I’ll never get the chance & they’re one of my faves. This is a great video.
I’ll never forget seeing them with the wonder years and tssf, I hit some random guys blunt before their set and turned out to be laced because everything got trippy dude, funnest and most anxiety filled show I’ve ever been to.
Love this, we miss you MOBO
mobo was my first show and my 2nd show ever was the greatest gen tour :,) such an awesome video love the facts
this is everything. I don't wanna get too deep into it, but I had a very similar experience and feel exactly the same about the band. they helped me a lot through recovery, and I love them. I know I can always fall back on their music when I need to. really good video, the last few thoughts were very touching. ❤️
I hope you're still doing well (:
holy crap this is a good video, ia gree wholeheartedly. mobo helped me through some stuff too, and although im sure you and others have had a worse experience than me, they still made an impact. such a good band.
MoBo has been one of, if not my favorite band for years and the impact they had on myself and others is truly amazing. I have so much respect for them. They were so open and seem like such down to earth people. Their openness with mental health is really something that many bands and people in general don't even get into at all. Tripping in the Dark is a documentary I go back to pretty frequently and the honesty is phenomenal. Bren is one strong dude and seeing him open up is such a great feeling as someone who struggles as well. Gotta love them and hope someday they return with their powerful music.
This is definitely your best video yet, Nate. I’ve never really listened to this band but i’m most definitely going to give them a listen now! this video was so educational and i truly loved it. I can’t wait to see what you work on next :)
Jack Lynch jack! Thank u for making my night
Modern Baseball mean so much to me. You know when you listen to a song and it relates almost identically to your life? For me, that was every one of their songs. They were like having somebody to talk to, because I just knew they understood. All those feelings and emotions I had trouble explaining were summed up perfectly within their music. It's something so hard to explain, yet something that seems so simple when you play one of their tracks. They'll always have a special place in my playlist. Long live Modern Baseball.
One of the most genuine band ever. Their music captures the perfect emotion of a growing up teen.
I feel so blessed I got to see them in my city, not only while they were still touring, but at the height of their popularity, too. A couple of their parents were at the show because of how close it was to their home town, and they all seemed genuinely happy to play that night and to have family there. It was truly one of the best shows I've ever been to, just because of how authentic the band is live, and how much they feed off of each other's energy.
I've been listening to them for a while.and yes I love them
I seen them live with tfb and brand new in '17 it was awesome. I never heard of either tfb or mobo but i binged the hell out of em after that concert ever since. I love mobo
You’d love mom jeans then
I love modern baseball so much, i found out about them my freshman year of highschool and i never thought i would fall in love with the band. No other band has ever made me feel so connected with every album and song.
Music saves and I’m glad you’re doing better
what a powerful video! I loved everything you had to say
killed it with this one brotha. love u
love u tyler
Modern baseball is like the grandpa that died before you’re born
Such a good band, I really hope a miracle will happen and they will come back.
mobo is one of my favorite bands to this day and i love them. really wanted them to get back😫😫💖
honestly got goosebumps watching this it's very truthful
Haven’t watched yet and I can already tell this is gonna rub salt into my wound
i love u
@@NateTheMateForever ily too bby
I discovered them two years ago when they toured with Brand New! Amazing band and great video
They are the ember of our hearts, whether we like that or not
i love them so much
This was beautifully executed 😭
This is what I've been waiting for
jesus i remember seeing them on that tour. one of the better shows i've seen at the right time in my life.
Haven't watched the full thing but I think Joyce Manor plays a HUGE role in "the scene" during the era this video mentions @ 3:19
At least from my perspective in Southern California
This video is amazing nate, damn
