Modern Baseball announces new LP, touring w/ The Wonder Years, Defeater & Citizen (dates & stream)
by Andrew Sacher
Pop punk band The Wonder Years will be heading out on a North American tour this spring and taking out some seriously excellent support, including lyrical emo kids Modern Baseball, hardcore rippers Defeater, and emo alt-rock bashers Citizen. That tour comes to NYC on April 17 at Best Buy Theater. Real Friends are on that show and most other dates too. Tickets for that show go on sale Friday (12/13) at noon. All dates are listed below.
Meanwhile, Modern Baseball, who have gained a lot more recognition this year since the relatively quiet release of their 2012 LP Sports, have announced that they’ll release that album’s followup, You’re Gonna Miss It All, on February 11 via Run for Cover. Sports was a winner in its ability to be endearingly youthful, and while you might say Modern Baseball have grown up a bit on You’re Gonna Miss It All, they haven’t stopped writing insanely catchy songs with grin-inducing lyrics. The first taste of the new record is “Your Graduation,” which you can stream along with the tracklist, below. That’s the artwork above.
All of their dates (including Long Island NJ shows with Bayside), are listed, along with that stream, tracklist, and streams of Defeater and Citizen’s 2013 LPs, below…
