A decade has soared past, like a fleeting chorus in one of those haunting tracks you can't shake off. Now, in a salute to nostalgia and the raw slices of youth, Modern Baseball is hitting us right in the feels with a 10th-anniversary reissue of their poignant album, You're Gonna Miss It All. Announced for release on September 27 via Run For Cover Records, this isn't just a reissue; it's a treasure chest rediscovered.
Back in 2014, Modern Baseball etched themselves into the emo landscape with songs that felt like diary entries spoken aloud in a room full of close friends. Tracks like “Rock Bottom” and “Pothole” resonated with a generation teetering on the edge of adulthood, unsure and unsteady. These songs are coming back, not just remastered but as acoustic demos that peel back layers to reveal the raw, unpolished emotions from their creation—echoes of a past that still feels painfully relevant.
But wait, there's more—the reissue packs a punch with a 96-page hardcover photo book shot by Jess Flynn. This isn't merely a collection of glossy images; it's a narrative, annotated by the band, weaving through the highs and lows captured by Flynn's lens. Described affectionately by Jake Ewald as “the unzipper,” Flynn had an uncanny knack for capturing moments of joy and vulnerability, moments that might have otherwise slipped by unnoticed in the chaos of tours and late-night jam sessions.
For fans old and new, this reissue promises a vinyl experience split into various collectible variants, accompanied by a special 7" featuring those precious demos. It’s an invitation to revisit the past, to see the band not just as performers but as people, navigating the blurry lines of early fame and personal growth.
Whether you were there during their initial rise or you’ve just discovered the raw energy of Modern Baseball, this reissue isn’t just something to listen to—it’s something to experience, to hold, and to ponder over. As we look back with the band, it's clear: sometimes, you don’t realize what you’re gonna miss until it returns in a new light.
