Full post for people too lazy to click:

Hey everybody, Jake here.

As much as it pains me to say this, we have decided to cancel our upcoming U.S. tour dates and festival appearances to take a break from Modern Baseball for a little while. If you already bought tickets for the tour, refunds will be available at point of purchase.

Over the past few months the band has become an immense source of anxiety for me, and it wasn't until I opened up to Sean, Ian, and Brendan about it that we realized we were all feeling the same way. The project we started as a source of joy and positive expression had become something that was slowly eating away at our mental health and our friendships. We have been championing the importance of mental health for a while now, and we recently realized that it would be wrong for us to ignore our own health any longer. Please know that we don't take a tour cancellation lightly, and under any other circumstances we would not even consider it an option, but in this instance we have to put our health and friendships first. You've supported us unconditionally throughout this crazy ride and we could never thank you enough. We never really learned how to do this whole "rock band" thing the right way, but you kept coming to the shows and talking to us and assuring us that we'd figure it out sooner or later. We could not have done any of this without you. Be honest with those you love and don't be afraid to lean on them when you need to. Odds are they'll need to lean on you pretty soon too.

With all the love in the world,
MOBO

My ex was obsessed with these guys, but I never really found them that special. Their last record was pretty good.

I was supposed to see them in April AND May. A bit upset over this especially because now I won't get to see Kevin Devine or Sorority Noise now

brendan has been known for suicidal tendencies in the past so whatever shit has been going on in his life accompanied by a shitload of touring just keeps eating at his mental state, the guy needs a much needed break and i honestly cannot blame them for going on hiatus

even if this is the last nail in the coffin for this band i still can't be upset because they're humans too and in situations like these you have to put yourself before anyone else, if they can't deal with it they need to fuck off

Super bummed about this. You're Gonna Miss It All is one of my favorite albums of all time.

They're a pretty good band and Holy Ghost was a great album, but I never got why these guys were held up as messiahs and superstars by certain people.

One side of me, which is slightly trolly, wants to say this solidifies their status as a fucking whiny millennial band, the other side knows the important of mental health and wishes them all well.

Just saw them last thursday and the warning signs were there. Brendan wasn't even there due to staying home to work on his health. Glad I caught them in time.

Dammit, Modern Football just went on hiatus a few weeks ago as well. They're expected to reunite in September though. Inconsistent bastards.
