This is how a band documentary should be filmed.

4 years later and I'm still watching this religiously to feel something
Same here tbh
same
Same
The whole pandemic and staying inside isolated didn’t help much. Thankful to be out and happy for everyone who also got through ok
same
This was a tough watch. Not because of the content but because of the whirlwind of emotions it evoked in me.
We’re lucky to have had a band like this to showcase that it’s okay to cry and hurt and work on making things better.
Things always get better day by day.
Wishing the MOBO boys all the best with whatever the future has in store, whether they come back or not they gave a much bigger piece of themselves to the world than most people will ever notice.
I hope you find your happiness.
MANCHESTER UNITED you know its about a band and not sports right?
Great story, great film, great band.
i can't even express how fucking much I love brendan
+EnderFarts
+EnderFarts i was gonna say what a beautiful and amazing comment then i read your name 😂
Deccy Playz Hey man, just because I play minecraft, doesn't mean I'm some fucking emotionless 10 year old...
+EnderFarts I'm not saying that at all aha
I just laughed because of the farts part aha
Minecrafts pretty dope though
Same!
THE FREAKS AND GEEKS REFERENCE HOLY SHIT I'M SO
+Lane Boy i know right man!
THEY GOT IT DOWN TO A T LIKE THE FACIAL EXPRESSIONS AND THE ACTIONS OMFGG
I JUST
I've lost count of how many times I have watched this documentary, I always seem to come back to it.
Modern baseball is and has been my favorite and most meaningful band for me for a couple of years now, you guys have helped me through some tough times and at the time of writing this I am going through the worst period of my life so far.
I hope to forget about this comment and come back to this in the future when everything hopefully is better and be able to laugh about it.
Thank you MoBo for everything you have done for me, the fans and music in general.
Bren, thanks for sharing your story with us, i hope you are doing better these days, you sure as hell make my days better!
Come back to it 5-6 years later and it’s mind blowing. I watched this when I was 16 or so now I’m 23. Life is a lot. Things are a lot. But we can appreciate the good while we’re here and just experience it. So crazy. I’m glad MOBO was the foundation for us meeting here. They were so special.
I would do anything to see them live again
This never fails to make me cry and here I am almost seven years later.
came back to leave the exact same comment
6 years since Holy Ghost… still holds up.. still brings all the emotions out. MOBO forever
Modern Baseball is for sure going to be one of those bands that leaves a huge impact on their genre. With the last album I felt like things were heading towards that path and now I'm certain. People will talk about Modern Baseball like they talk about Brand New or Say Anything or Taking Back Sunday or something, you know?
I'd say their legacy has surpassed the bands youve mentioned
Mitchell Pasztor Maybe Brand New cause the Jesse Lacey shit sort of soured everybody on Brand New, but idk about the other ones. Way too early to call.
as much as I love both mobo and bn; the "fight" between the two bands was funny. I should have went to that tour.
@@DJKNITEX what are you talking about? do you mean the fake beef between tbs and bn?
tldr: apparently one dude from Brand New drunk tweeted about MOBO and essentially talking smack
modern baseball makes me feel something ive never felt
is it modern and basebally
Shortly after discovering these guys they rapidly became one of my favourite bands. I've never connected with lyrical content so easily as I have with them before, and I can never help but tap, beat or dance along to their catchy music. As a 20 year old longing for the playful, innocent and careless times of young teen-hood, these guys bring all those emotions back to me, and for that I'm infinitely grateful - you guys are awesome!
Dude that's pretty much exactly how I feel, word for word
Jack Demetriou I know that feeling
J D Nostalgia my man, I feel it too!
based on that, If you wouldn't mind a recommendation, I'd listen to It Never Goes Out by the Hotelier. It's an album that gives me the same feeling.
These guys went to my high school. Really cool seeing something big come out of a small town.
The world really is small man! I have seen a lot of stuff that makes me go damn small world or just crazy shit I never expected to hear about happen in my home small town or just in general
I hope bren is doing great they deserve the world
I think it’s really fitting that the last words of this video are “we’re proud of what’s to come, and you”. I’ve never felt so connected to a group of strangers before and I really am so proud of them and can’t wait to see what they all do.
this is the best thing I have ever seen
i really miss them, they were so genuine and you could really tell how they all have an amazing friendship. right when i found them they quickly became one of my favorite bands. i hope someday they start making music again.
This made me fucking cry. These guys are my life line. The one thing I can hold on to.
i want what this band has so badly
I could not relate to this comment more
Lane Boy SUP |-/
M E T O O. The music, the connection. Everything would be so nice to have
This is the 5th time I've watched this
I watch it whenever I spend too much time in a bad spot. It gives me hope
Hope you are doing okay dude!
@@aldenscoconut8785 Hey, thank you man... it's been 4 years since those days and I'm glad to say I'm in a better spot! Still struggle with some things but life has been kinder to me since.
Thanks for your kind comment c: MoBo forever
@@dantemorales1826 I'm so glad to hear that, dude! I really hope you find inner peace. Rock on, brother!
7 years later and im watching this
i really hope everyone understood the freaks and geeks intro thing
I loved that part, lol.
fr lol
I really loved that part and that show, I really wish they'd gone on for at least a few more seasons.
so good.
i was so happy when i saw that
I know this is so much after the fact but Bren we miss you and hope you're doing well. I found Modern Baseball well after they had stop making music and I'm glad this may be the final relic of them that's available
Coming back several years later - I saw MOBO live once when I was younger. It was everything for me then. Now I’m 23, struggling a lot with life but I appreciate this band for being so honest and open with their lives. MOBO will be a part of me forever. Thank you, thank you and I hope everyone there and here is not afraid to live their open, honest lives. We will be grateful for it later.
I started listen to Mobo after my friend told me about one of their album "you're gonna miss it all". he said "you should listen to this, this album was released on 11 february, your birthday date". and i digging it up on spotify, talk again to myself "should i listen to another mobo song?" and i was grateful to know them, this band is something new because i don't listen to emo genre before..
Almost a year since Brendan's part talked me down from suicide and into calling the doctor. I may not have gone to the first appointment I made but I went soon after and after trying different treatments for a few months I think we've found what is best for me. Thank you so much B, Cam, and all the guys from Mobo and SN.
Hope you’re holding up well
Big Dick Joe Thanks man, I actually am. I just graduated college and have “graduated” from 2 years of cognitive behavioral therapy! Hope you’re well!
BarfyMan 362 good shit, happy for you!
Yo! Glad you’re doing well! I came across this on the 5 year anniversary of me fucking my life up and it’s not entirely better but I’m very aware of things. I’m happy to hear you continued on and are still pushin! Life is some baaaad but it has so much good. Let’s appreciate it while we can.
All of their songs feel like home to me. Been listening to them for about 4 years now, sucks that they “broke up” :(
These guys have the sort of friendship I need in my life
The freaks and geeks intro
Yess
I can't get enough of the last minute of the video, I NEED to hear more ;(
After all these years, it still hurts.
miss the boys so much.
who in the goddamn fucking world would dislike this?
people who missed the like button
I would listen to Modern Baseball when I was 16 struggling with my depression and the loss of my big brother after he took his life. The comfort that I was able to feel from these songs at that time was so immense. Now I’m 22 and these songs hurt even more but in a better way. I love every song and I still enjoy listening to them but I have this pain in my chest for the really broken young girl who found this band. Who was saved by this band. I’m so grateful I had Modern Baseball when I was at my lowest. I saw them live at Byron Bay Falls festival at the end of 2016 crying and yelling every lyric was one of the most healing things I’ve experienced. Thank Modern Baseball for everything and I hope you are all well.
miss you mobo, hope everyone's doing well and gets by, and to people that're trying their best.
it feels like an honor to be apart of this community and their story even if its as little as buying there albums I will appreciate them and what they did for me emotionally and mentally forever thank you MOBO
I just wanna give Brendan a hug until they rip me off of him
10:56 that Joyce Manor sweatshirt 👏❤
So proud to call these guys my favorite band(:
fuck yeah
I really hope Bren’s doing alright.
Please come back!
This band. This record. This short doc. It causes so many emotions and reminds me of what an amazing band these guys made, and what a great group of dudes they are. Even though they’re not together, I’ll never forget them.
Watching this made me fall in love with them again
Love you
why the fuck am i crying
i come back to this more then i would like to admit
If there's one thing I took away from this doc is that there's still a lot of life to live and how different it can be throughout the years. fuckin' hell.
Also, Modern Baseball is an awesome band lol
I met Ian this last week at Fest in Gainesville, I was so starstruck and was so lost for words. He was super sweet and wish nothing but the best for him and the guys
I didn’t know I was gonna get tossed into the emotional grinder. This is really good
holy shit this made me wanna cry
Imma need to get hella boxes of tissues for when Holy Ghost comes out. This documentary only makes me love them even more
miss them, hope they're all doing well!
I keep watching this video just to hear a snippet from that closing song over and over again. It's only a minute long but that minute hits me so hard.
whats the name of the song pls?
+Richard Kinier Just Another Face
When I was 19 I Started spiraling to a dark place, feeling aimless after high school. It was MOBO who showed me it’s ok to be uncertain and doubtful, but to have hope and always live on for brighter days. Very few times have I felt as connected with a band as I did with MOBO and I’ll forever be grateful to them, over 4 years later I’m 23 and happier than I’ve ever been
I promise it does get better
My grandfather passing is devastating so Jake's story made my feel him again.I miss him so much he was everything to our family.This doc. made me cry just amazing.
as far as i'm concerned, bren is one of the most creative and talented musical geniuses in this world, that's it man, you're a legend, and you all inspire so many people everyday, you're all forever, modern baseball forever.
Haha! The Freak and Geeks intro was fucking great!
2024, and im still waiting for an extra inning
Hi dudes, just wanted to take a moment to thank you for doing what you do. I struggle with depression and Modern Baseball has helped me through some hard times. Especially big thanks to Bren for being so open about his experiences with bipolar disorder.
also they're shamelessly self promoting their next tour in the video by wearing so many Joyce manor shirts lmao I love it.
+invisible. They've always worn other local band shirts, long before they had a tour with Joyce Manor planned
+McZukas I'm joking around.
That’s a dream tour dude..should’ve fucking been there
We're all here for you Bren. I remember hearing Your Graduation for the first time, and listening to it for hours every day for weeks. I feel your guys' music in my soul, and knowing there's someone out there who understands what's going on in my life is more than I can ask for. I can't say that I know how the bad times feel to you, but I know how they can be. I've already pre-ordered Holy Ghost and have May 13th marked on my calendar. I'm at a job I can come see you guys tour, so I'll be keeping an eye on that too. Thank you for your music, and thank you for spreading a message of the importance of mental health. Keep putting yourself into what you write, and you can't go wrong.
Modern Baselball forever❤
wow this was incredible. i cried when bren was talking about their mental health and stuff. i love this band so much and im sad i discovered them while theyre not performing anymore but :) great stuff
That freaks and Geeks reference though omfg.
I fell in love with them all over again
this video always finds its way back to me. Mobo helped get me through some of the darkest times of my life, and sometimes I still get in a dark place from time to time. but that's okay, that's life, and I'm so lucky to have good friends and I'm so glad to be here at the end of most days. DIY music, and mobo forever.
miss you mobo. thank you.
i been listening to modern baseball for 3 years now and when i knew they split up i ignore this documentary because i had the feeling that it was going to make me really emotional for a band that i didn't really was around anymore. I was right, i dont think i have words to express how this band makes me feel and makes me react to stuff that happen in my life. I love the legacy but it makes me really sad how i'm probably never going to have the experience to see them live but either way they make a huge impact on how i take things day by day.
Always coming back to this when I need a good cry
Goals is to make music as good as these guys one day!
Got a chance to see them, The Front Bottoms and Brand New last Tuesday and it was literally the best show I've ever been to.
Marco Zavala bro same!!! it was so fucking sick
2 years later and we are all still in love with your radiant energy and awesome gifts of music. THANK YOU
this band changed my life completaly. I remember hearing just another face for the first time and feeling understood. Then I got to listen to more of their music and I started crying. How can four strangers sing everything that's going on in my mind and make such awesome art out of it? forever my favorite band.
I feel like holy ghost is really going to put them over the top, and they deserve it modern baseball is absolutely amazing with a unique sound and very deep lyrics
I miss this band alot.
I am so proud of these guys. I honestly feel like the dad at a baseball game where his kid just hit a home run that won the game for his team. I love these guys and it's so amazing to see them on this personal level. Keep doing what you're doing, because you guys are damn good at it.
You boys are a beautiful bunch of souls.
Love ya guts. xoxo
Modern Baseball truly feels like home.
Still watching in 2022!!
This makes me cry every single time
I need friends like this. These guys are amazing and have such a strong bond. It's beautiful.
This is the single most inspiring thing I've seen, ever.
Ohh, that Holiday riff in the beginning
Did not expect myself to have full-blown tears streaming down my face. Glad Brendan got the help he needed. The more awareness the better.
I need MOBO more than ever- slaughter beach dog is good but I want the real deal
xxdewxx9 there’s a lot of slaughter beach songs that sound a lot like mobo
They won’t be comin’ back, the band started to stress them out and put a massive strain on their friendships. It was fun while they lasted, but it’s most likely better for the mental health of everyone in the band that they lay off for a while longer. They’re might be a reunion tour or something like that, but not for a while.
Yes man I need Brendan back
@@GamesForGrizzy There's a song called Corrigan by Sorority Noise that features Brendan on it
Don't be mean.
i’ve been coming back to this video for years and it still makes me cry errytime😢😢😢 i really wish bren the best
With the 10 year anniversary of Sports coming up it’s fitting to watch this again. Modern Baseball will have a special place in my heart for the rest of my life. I hope they will continue to thrive in their lives outside of music. MOBO Forever !
I'm hoping they'll make music soon...we miss Mobo.
Im only halfway through this doccumentary and getting chills. I love to see the bands progression, and I can already tell Holy Ghost is going to make me cry, laugh, and cry again. Super stoked to scream to this album with a car full of friends. MOBO forever
getting to see them play live together will always be a blessing, but relating to Bren on mental health will always save me, and so will their music. It's comforting to know that struggles like theirs makes me not feel alone.
come back here just to wish everything best for all of them
Back here for what must be the tenth time but this time it's even harder given their recent announcement.
I had the privilege to see these guys live in February and it was one of the best and most emotional nights of my life, to be able to sing 'Coals' and 'Just Another Face' at the top of my voice without a care in the world with a room full of people who felt the same way was liberating and empowering.
Thank you so much Modern Baseball for everything you've done. I know you guys will come back when you're ready and I hope to see you at your best again. Honestly I don't think I could put into words how important you guys are to me, I don't know if I'd be here if it wasn't for your music, knowing that someone else understands what it is I'm going through and how it is I feel. I've never met the guys, but I feel like I know each one of them personally and in Modern Baseball, I feel like I have a friend for life will always be there for me.
Take all the time you need guys, we all understand and we all care.
MoBo for life.
I've watched this like 5 times now and it gets to me every time, I'm in tears by the end of it each time. Thank you guys for everything you do and for the inspirations that you are.
MOBO for life
no fucking way its been 4 YEARS... i miss them so much :(
I miss you all. So so so much.
This really makes me want Holy Ghost so bad. Really great doc.
Miss y’all so much still . Thank you for sharing your stories and music with us.
I am now currently having probably the most challenging time for the my mental health. I've always feel alone or left out but now I just feel to be very disconnected with everything or everybody I have. Watching this always makes me feel better afterwards. These guys always makes me feel that I am not as alone as I think I am. I am very grateful for mobo for making feel like there's somebody that could understand me in some way.
Never be afraid to reach out! You are never alone man
I hope you’re good! I am giving you a giant hug now. You are special and great. Don’t give it up.
This documentary shows everything I love about this band. They're passion for music, the incredible songs they write, they're open honesty and how real they are. Jake, Brendan, Ian and Sean are all true inspirations. I love these guys so much. As much as I want new music from them, I totally understand why they took that hiatus and I hope it does them well and that they're feeling better.
So honored to have our footage used in this amazing documentary. Much love.
I promise I'm not crying..
I fucking love modern baseball so goddamn much, I’m so glad I got to see them perform before they went quiet. I don’t know where I’d be without them, they’ve got me through some insanely rough times. If it weren’t for these boys I genuinely think I’d be dead. God bless mobo
