Pop-punk college problems

Most kids outgrow pop-punk by high school. Philly based Modern Baseball took it to the collegiate level and skyrocketed to fame and acclaim with the success of their first album, Sports, and the absolute relatability of lyrics set to hooky guitar and steady beats. You‰’re Gonna Miss It All is the holy sophomore album, providing a more polished variety of sound while still clinging to all the angst a college sophomore can(‰t) handle. “Trying hard not to look like I’m trying that hard and failing miserably at everything, including that,‰” croon a slightly whining vocalist over easily processed melody and catchy drums. Enjoy the hauntingly simple acoustic- “Timmy Bowers‰” and interlude-like failed romances put forefront in “Pothole‰” and “Notes.‰” The crux of MoBo is still their lyrical barbs, holding strong to every social anxiety or uncomfortable situation a person could expect to encounter in these formative young adult years. If you‰’re interested in a soundtrack of last weekend‰’s drunken escapades, just share an emotional experience with You‰’re Gonna Miss It All and cling to the bittersweet nostalgia when it‰’s done.
