ModernBaseball

Modern Baseball, abbreviated as MoBo, was an American emo band formed in 2012 at Drexel University and released their first album, Sports, on Lame-O Records that same year.
==History==
Bren Lukens and Jake Ewald met in high school, when Lukens was interested in Ewald's twin sister. They ran in different friend groups, but found common ground through music. Their name was inspired by a book that Lukens and Ewald found in Ewald’s basement, titled Modern Baseball Techniques. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/12/arts/music/modern-baseball-young-resilient-and-already-reborn.html 
Originally from Brunswick, Maryland, they relocated to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to attend college, with Lukens at Chestnut Hill College, and Ewald at Drexel University. In Philadelphia, they met Ian Farmer, who helped them record their first album, Sports, in Drexel's recording studios. Sports was released in 2012, and soon after the group left college temporarily to pursue music as their profession. https://www.thefader.com/2016/04/11/brendan-lukens-modern-baseball-holy-ghost-interview 
The band started playing house shows around the area with bands like The Menzingers, Lee Hartney, Ted Nguyent, and Cayetana. http://www.redbull.com/us/en/music/stories/1331681783374/modern-baseball-almost-missed-it-all Around this time, the band also signed with Run For Cover Records. http://www.allmusic.com/artist/modern-baseball-mn0003084885/biography 
In January 2017, Bren Lukens released a statement saying that they would not be joining the band on their upcoming Europe/UK tour, instead opting to stay at home to focus on their mental and physical well-being. https://www.facebook.com/ModernBaseball/photos/a.256192384402436/1337379676283696/?type=3 In February 2017 the band announced that they would be cancelling their US tour and taking a break to help protect their mental health and friendships. https://www.facebook.com/ModernBaseball/photos/a.256192384402436/1361998430488487/?type=3 
The group played no shows in the spring of 2017, during which time Ewald and Farmer worked on producing Ewald's project Slaughter Beach, Dog, and Lukens and Huber worked on solo material. When interviewed in June 2017, Ewald remarked, "let's not call it a breakup and make a huge deal about it and have a 'Last Show Ever' or anything like that. Let's just take it easy for now, and if we wake up an[d] want to do it again, then let's do it." https://www.thefader.com/2017/06/08/jake-ewald-modern-baseball-slaughter-beach-dog-interview/amp In an October 2017 interview, Ewald confirmed that the band had no plans to play any more shows for the indefinite future. https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/rock/7998759/jake-ewald-modern-baseball-slaughter-beach-dog-final-shows-interview
