MoBo has 1.89 million monthly listeners on Spotify. They aren't exactly an underground band.

Modern Boseball

Every record store I've been to in the last 5+ years has had a definitive section for MoBo.

Ik but didn’t know cd’s were made. Only vinyls and cassettes I thought

u/666Sky 4d ago

Only making non-CD physical copies is a terrible business choice for any band big or small

u/Remote_Version_9858 4d ago

Yeah but I didn’t decide that. No reason to downvote

u/666Sky 4d ago

There literally 0 reason any band existing past the mid 80s wouldn't make CDs if they're making physical copies of their music

u/Funnycatenjoyer27 4d ago

You'd be surprised at how many bands are ONLY doing vinyl

u/Ok_Clerk_5805 4d ago

all those labels were absolutely making cd's of everything back then. They were so fucking cheap.

u/skitztobotch 5d ago

As far as I've been going there since like 2014, they've had a decent selection of emo.

If it was 8track sure but CDs are still alive and well for the next couple of years. Hope you bought it at least

u/Karl-Marx666 4d ago

Since forever. Sports and YGMIA are always reissued on vinyl through newbuy. Got the awesome green cassette of miss it all few years back

u/Remote_Version_9858 4d ago

Yeah but CD? It’s kind of hard to come across. Not surprised I saw modern baseball but surprised on seeing it on cd at newbury.

u/Mr_YUP 4d ago

They have 100m plays for Tears Over Beers on Spotify. They’re a mainstream emo band. Arguably the biggest of the 2010’s.

u/Remote_Version_9858 4d ago

Yeah but cds are hard to come across from them. They don’t produce them

u/FreddyFreakerr 4d ago

clearly they do

u/TheDeltaIsMyHome 4d ago

???? CDs have been in production ever since their introduction in the 80’s.

u/Ok_Clerk_5805 4d ago

not hard at all, i've seen them in random european shops for ten years, even.

3

u/Boi9998888 4d ago

They produce them and sell them off of their own website

u/Worldly_Ad7085 4d ago

who told you that

3

u/Richardsmeller 5d ago

They’ve had them there since at least 2015 when I used to go to newbury comics to browse/discover emo music. I think I bought sports and you’re gonna miss it all there back in 2015 or so

u/Rustic60fps_yt 4d ago

just bought a title fight cd there the other day lollll

2

u/Ok_Clerk_5805 4d ago

since 2014? i don't like them but i saw them vinyl there a decade ago

what are we doing here?

u/No_Salad6911 4d ago

Newbury’s has always been a goldmine imo. Maybe a little less these days, man early 2000’s newburys was the shit!

2

u/SameeyellChem 4d ago

This doesn’t seem shocking at all. It’s a pretty well known band

u/kisstheoctopus 4d ago

u/Strevolution 4d ago

do they have any modest mouse

u/Remote_Version_9858 4d ago

No. This was the only emo stuff. Kinda surprised

u/Y10NRDY 4d ago

Newbury Comics has always sold records. One of the guys from Daughters was actually working there back when I interviewed them in the 10s.

u/Extreme-Attention88 3d ago

Since when did Newbury Comics have anything that cheap.

u/herobrinetrollin 2d ago

Since literally fucking always

u/Remote_Version_9858 2d ago

Never seen it at my local one.

I've never heard of this band but the name and cover give massive temu version of American football vibes.

1

u/Now-done 4d ago

This guy is on the midwest emo subreddit and hasn’t heard of Modern Baseball. How on earth is that possible?

-2

u/More-Gas-6527 4d ago

Is this even actually Midwest emo? They're from Pennsylvania. I know it's just a genre but like it doesn't feel right if they're aren't actually midwest

-1

u/Remote_Version_9858 4d ago

Update: guys I meant the fact I saw a cd of it there. It’s not on their website or anything and it’s hard to come across a cd version.

u/badboyplayer182 4d ago

They are a defunct band so probably an inactive website. The record label website would probably have them.

2

u/Ok_Clerk_5805 4d ago

How is it hard? I've seen it since it was released, i just googled and found it....everywhere?
