After Modern Baseball: Slaughter Beach, Dog

[@NateTheMateForever]

Slaughter Beach, Dog or MoBo?

[@47instagramfollowers58]

Nate The Mate Though I do love both, I will always have a soft spot for MoBo. They are my second favorite band behind Hippo Campus. But then again Slaughter Beach, dog is also amazing. But I think MoBo Will stay a better band in my eyes. P.s. Slaughter Beach, dog is much more creative than MoBo, in my opinion

[@47instagramfollowers58]

Sorry to comment again, but did you hear about KZbin deleting non-Monitized channels on December 10th, I know it won’t affect you but I find it saddening.

[@JosephSampson]

MoBoooo

[@SwifferSaturdays]

literally can't pick. impossible

[@zem6300]

Modern Baseball helped me through so much. I have to go with them.

[@GeorgeUsedFire]

Modern Baseball is the popular, coming-of-age film in the form of a band. Slaughter Beach, Dog is the arthouse spinoff.

[@NateTheMateForever]

badguygeorge perfectly articulated

[@Fdaniel_02]

By fall out boy

[@AstOnokGaming]

I actually got into mobo via slaughter beach Your Cat and 104 degrees and Acolyte are masterful songs

[@ryandaniels2134]

All I wanna say is if MCR are reuniting i think we can have a MOBO one night only reunion

[@NateTheMateForever]

u kno das fair

[@havilinhargraves9122]

“Im going to force you to like this band” 😂 Nate there’s no need for that

[@NateTheMateForever]

Austin Hargraves that’s probably the most aggressive I’ve ever gotten in one of my videos haha

[@candacedupree5095]

my friend got me into modern baseball and slaughter beach dog at the same time it’s kind of crazy to see the 2 different projects without knowing the progression

[@NateTheMateForever]

Candace Dupree that’s really tight tbh

[@Computer-Woman]

i didn’t know Slaughter Beach, Dog existed until a few months ago, and i love all of their albums, can’t wait to hear more as time goes on

[@NateTheMateForever]

Computer Man same here matey!

[@Ineedthatcontroller]

Nate! You should make a Sorority Noise video. They’re last album, YNAAYT, is a masterpiece

[@kylesanders3129]

Facts

[@NateTheMateForever]

YES

[@jacobconfined4836]

slaughter beach dog is forever my favorite cup of coffee

[@NateTheMateForever]

Jacob Gott hahaha this reminds me of a comment I’d see in Anthony Fantano’s comment section haha. Thank you for this

[@TigerLillyInTheRain]

I admire the way you listen to albums and let them grow on you. I just relistened to the new Rex Orange County album and added a slew of more songs. Thanks for the videos! Just downloaded a bunch of Slaughter Beach, Dog and am in love 🥰

[@NateTheMateForever]

Darrian Padilla thank you so much Darian! Sometimes it takes like 25 listens before an album click, u kno? Cheers matey!!!

[@j.brandonpaine6365]

I love this band so so much. I feel like with all the albums, the more I listened to the albums, the more I loved individual songs. I also really don't like rap or spoken word, but Black Oak and 104 Degrees are some of my favorite songs by him. Wowzah.

[@NateTheMateForever]

Joshua Paine black oak was such a pleasant surprise on their last album

[@anthonyp8885]

MoBo #1 Where my "Brendan Lukens" fans?

[@NateTheMateForever]

i miss him

[@angelo5390]

Just saw Slaughter Beach, Dog in Lancaster last night, it was awesome, I loved every second. Met Jake briefly and he was friendly as ever, will never not have my support

[@eelistrator]

i had always loved the way jake narrates through his lyrics, even in early songs from mobo like "Voting Early" to the latest like "this song is gonna buy brendan lukens a new pair of socks" so, when i listened to Slaughter Beach Dog music i instantly loved it.

[@swatchcovers5401]

Seeing them live is gonna get me more into them. There’s a certain headspace they put me in live. It was the first time I’ve thought about the positive little things I’ve gone through throughout my life in a long time. It was a very positive experience.

[@jasonbak4059]

incredible video covering my favorite band, i’m glad you share the love. Jake Ewald is the most incredible song writer. Acolyte has been my favorite song since it was first shown off on the audiotree farout session. much love.

[@NateTheMateForever]

Jason Bak Jason, thank you! And I had the same experience. I had to wait so long for the album version haah

[@CraigSimmonds]

I think you're absolutely right about SBD records being growers. On my first listen of both Birdie and Safe, I wasn't sure if I was into them, but after a few more listens they became two of my all time favourites.

[@saladhands1127]

So glad to hear you like the weakerthans too, theyre amazing

[@irishgirl81498]

As a huge fan of Slaughter Beach, Dog and Jake's songwriting skills, this is such an enjoyable video to listen to. Can't wait till we all can get back to shows and see him live for the first time!

[@poppunkkazoo6692]

great video, i totally agree with you on your opinion that slaughter beach dog is better than mobo. i just wanted to add that slaughter beach is an actual place in delaware (this always makes me think of the line "delaware, where oh where are we" from fish fry)

[@m.webster1261]

I really miss the vulnerability and blunt nature of Modern Baseball, but it is a fleeting emotion. It’s very pointed and direct, but it applies one time in ones life. On the other hand, slaughter beach is special. It has a unique sound and direction that is rare these days, and I really love it. Yes I’ll mourn for the loss of something inspirational in Modern Baseball, but I’ll be listening to Slaughter Beach for a long time to come. Also see Aaron West and the Roaring Twenties if you like this form of expression. It’s an offshoot of The Wonder Years and it is EXCELLENT.

[@xinthisdiaryx]

I love slaughter beach dog. I fell in love with story telling in songs when I first listened to Bright Eyes we are nowhere and it’s now. It really did change my life.

[@1500rosa]

There's a band called The Heligoats that also has great songs and stories that grow more and more on you with each listen. I love bands that do that to you. Slaughter Beach, Dog is definitely one of my favorites.

[@dantemorales1826]

Listen to La Dispute attentively. You're gonna love it.

[@jbasti227]

I second this

[@emocoffeedrinker]

Dante Morales they suck ass the vocalist has an ass voice

[@skeletonscorpion]

I saw them at a Toronto bar years ago (Smiling Buddha). Was really bummed about MOBO breaking up so had to see what Jake was up to. What a great time. They had a cool cover of Friday I'm In Love.

[@Marichii1]

you watanabe car at 4:35 SERIOUSLY caught me off guard

[@emilybarrera5259]

As much as I love Mobo, I think the thing that makes Slaughter Beach, Dog so great is that it’s an entirely different project. It’s like I can’t even compare the two because it’s like the saying of comparing apples to oranges. Both amazing, but in their own way. Amazing video :)

[@NateTheMateForever]

Uh ? Ah, I totally see what you are saying! Thank you mate

[@samellis8695]

right on! it took me awhile to become a fan of Slaughter Beach, Dog, but when i did i learned to really love all their stuff!

[@NateTheMateForever]

Sam Ellis it’s an acquired taste.. haha not really but kinda

[@WALKENband]

BIG YES TO PEDRO THE LION, such a great band with consistently incredible lyrics.

[@SwifferSaturdays]

Jake is literally my favourite artist to have ever been xD slaughter beach dog and MoBo forever

[@NateTheMateForever]

Isabella Unwin same, Isabella

[@germsgermsgerms]

Nate! I think you missed one detail in that Weakerthans verse - the lyric "afraid" is also meant to be "a frayed", as in a frayed rope. So it has that extra element of precariousness there.

[@TrevorandRana]

Black oak is a masterpiece, I get chills every time I hear it.

[@NateTheMateForever]

saaaame mate

[@Narzick]

If you like stories, if you havent, listen to Aaron West and The Roaring Twenties from first song on first album, in order to the last song on the last album. It's a masterpiece

[@NateTheMateForever]

love them

[@peterpatrick4469]

I went to a live show he did and it was honestly my favorite live band I have seen so far. Amazingly talented man

[@Narzick]

@@peterpatrick4469 Saw AW20, Anthony Green, Elder Brother, and Ace Enders in 2014 and it may still be one of my favorite concerts ever

[@krool141]

The line from politics of grooming "She did not hear you softly crying near Or feel your mouth all hot against her ear So you kissed her like she taught you And for the first time on a head You got up and tucked your own self into bed" kill me everytime, love the band and im waiting to get a safe and also no fear tattoo

[@NateTheMateForever]

Andres Mora this comment made me feel so happy and feel less alone in my love for this band. Thank you Andres

[@krool141]

@@NateTheMateForever i love the band! Your Instagram actually helped me found them, at first i didnt know if i liked them but the more i listened the more i liked them

[@crushed_oreos]

Thank you so much for the playlist homie.

[@MarcelVLafonde]

Yo! I'm surprised you didn't mention Sean's music 'Steady Hands' its pretty awesome

[@stevenlund6220]

Best channel I’ve discovered in a long time. Really good editing and narration- keep it up!!

[@SocksworthRiffs]

I think the issue I had with Slaughter Beach, Dog is that it's slower and a bit less...I'm trying to find the word I mean better than if I just said less energetic, but mostly that I wasn't as gripped by it. I started with the latest stuff in Safe and Also No Fear, so that might have been an issue. I gave it a couple listens over but nothing really reached me in the same way as I was hoping, but the writing WAS fantastic. I just wasn't enthralled enough to get back into it. I'll have to check out the first couple projects now though!

[@tillly_menziesii6148]

Nice video Nate! It's funny Safe and Also No Fear has been the album that's gotten me truly hooked on the band and now I've been going backwards in their discography. I have not made any comments yet but thought you should know I've really been enjoying your videos and you've introduced me to some some really great bands! Or have gotten me to take a second look into one (like Modern Baseball). Cheers my man!

[@NateTheMateForever]

Tillly_menziesii thank you so much Tilly! Safe and also no fear is a slow burning masterpiece

[@ludgeisatmcdonalds]

You probably came across this in your research but "Glowing" on SBDs EP was a weakerthans cover actually and Jake did a Pedro the Lion cover with MoBo awhile ago, forgot the exact session but it's funny that you mention them.

[@howardmcmillian5764]

Amazing video. I think one of MOBO strong points that Slaughter Beach, Dog lacks is the amazing harmony between two guitarist. But I'm glad Slaughter Beach Dog is a band.

[@gnarcky6ix6]

[@NateTheMateForever]

Make sure to show me!

[@dinosaurojunior]

Helpful to me as I like MoBo and didn't even know about SBD! Thanks dude

[@SHINDIG1941]

I was one of the few who found slaughter beach, dog before I found modern baseball. I don’t remember how I came across them but the first song I heard was 104 degrees and I instantly fell in love .

[@NateTheMateForever]

peyton schneider that’s a really cool way to discover them tbh

[@xkodybarberx]

Man, I agree with you about liking slaughter beach, dog over mobo. It’s so damn good.

[@jonymordy8789]

Birdies really good but safe and also no fear is kinda spooky and I'm obsessed

[@mroreoeater1353]

Wonderful explanation, of course I knew he had Slaughter Beach, Dog. But I also ended up liking Slaughter Beach, Dog. more than Modern Baseball, even more after seeing them live, his progression as a musician shows.

[@NateTheMateForever]

MrOreo Eater13 thank you so much mate

[@joshs5135]

I’ve always thought SB,D was super underrated. The only reason I don’t listen to them 24/7 is because of how melancholy they are, which is beautiful but wrecks you if you listen to them while sad

[@NateTheMateForever]

Josh Shaw yeah they’re so sad hahaah

[@jdh21403]

SBD played at a local venue and I didn’t go because I didn’t know who they were, now I regret that

[@cellglhf]

Love the video. If you like Slaughter Beach, Dog, PLEASE listen to Andy Shauf as well. Very similar in terms of writing but totally different in terms of sounds and influences. Both are fantastic

[@toasterstrudel6901]

Steady Hands has a good amount of music out, even put out an album after the mobo break up, u should be talking about it!

[@Lucas-yz8fj]

Can you go through all the songs on safe and also no fear/their other albums. Like you did with all the mobo albums? Cause I don’t understand half the songs and really want to love slaughter beach dog like you do

[@asdfnewguy7029]

Nate, if you like story driven songs that reward repeat listens I think you'll love the album 'Grow/Decompose' by Young Jesus Same to anyone reading this :)

man i friggin love Slaughter Beach, Dog

[@jam4996]

I didn’t really like SBD when I first heard them but after watching this video when it came out in 2019, I became a huge fan. In a weird way I’m almost glad mobo broke up so we could have SBD and Jake can pursue the project to it’s full potential. (Still want mobo to do a reunion so I can see them live lol)

[@NateTheMateForever]

thank you so much Saul! have a great rest of your sunday

[@thenamelessranger7747]

@@NateTheMateForever you as well! I remember being so crushed when mobo broke up. They were my favorite band. I needed new music from Jake or Bren so I checked out SBD. And man oh man it's one if the best decisions I've ever made. They are easily my favorite now. Jake is really something else and he's definitely an underrated songwriter

[@andreshermosillo7465]

Slaughter beach isn’t a fictional town! Its a small coastal town in Delaware, I’ve actually driven through it by accident once or twice on my way to ocean city, maryland. I think Jake has said his parents live there now or something.

[@cameronwilkinson1894]

The only reason i dont think mobo will reunite, is because jake has advanced so far as a songwriter since holy ghost, that i feel like itd be boring for him to get back together with bren
