Rounding out the week and heading into the weekend with a brand new edition of Artist Spotlight! Today, we head to the City of Brotherly Love otherwise known as Philadelphia, PA and uncover the sounds of Modern Baseball. The group largely consists of Brendan Lukens, Jacob Ewald, Ian Farmer, and Sean Huber. The band's music is an inventive mixture of indie rock influences mixed in with a slight punk-rock sensibility reminiscent of Say Anything that puts them in a class all their own and gives them clout and user accessibility to fans of both genres. I was impressed with the vocals that had a spoken word like dexterity to them that was a little unusual at first, but totally made sense as you delved into the music further and explored the vivacious melodies and homegrown instrumentation that runs rampant throughout their music. An amazing upstart band that deserves some love from the Boston area. Some great songs to check out from the guys include "Re-do" and "Tears Over Beers".
For more information on the guys in Modern Baseball, head on over to their Facebook page located
here and 'Like' it so that you can stay in tune with everything that is going on in their world. The band is also on Twitter as well over
here and communicate with the guys directly to find out if they'll be venturing up to the Beantown area sometime with a concert appearance. The band's latest album appropriately titled "Sports" is now available for streaming and purchase on their Bandcamp site located over
here for your listening pleasure.
