Episode 50: My Friends Modern Baseball

Their union may have been one of pure circumstance and coincidence, but these days Modern Baseball are the four best friends that anyone could have. Over the course of three albums and just a few years, the band have become a mouthpiece for the awkward, the disenfranchised and the anxious through their motor-mouthed, anthemic pop-punk. In April, the band finally arrived in Australia after having to unfortunately cancel their September tour plans. In the aftermath of a completely sold-out run, we spoke with vocalist/guitarist Jake Ewald and drummer Sean Huber about growing up, getting in the van and going global.Modern Baseball's third album, Holy Ghost, is out now via Run for Cover Records and distributed in Australia via Cooking Vinyl Australia.Digital: https://runforcoverrecords.bandcamp.com/album/holy-ghostPhysical: https://www.jbhifi.com.au/music/browse/alternative-punk/holy-ghost/941168/Support for All My Friends Are in Bar Bands comes from Spit the Dummy Records.Nothing Rhymes with David's second studio album, Things Work Out for People Like You, is out today digitally and is also available for pre-order on cassette.To pre-order a tape, a shirt or a tote bag, visit http://spittthedummyrecords.bigcartel.comSupport also comes from Sad Grrrls Club.
