Mom Jeans's 2014 self titled EP *Tracklist* 00:00 First and Ten 3:10 Screenshot 6:57 You Only Call Me When You're Drunk 10:07 Workaholics 14:13 Fishtank 17:03 Bad Call
In case you guys didn't know, Eric is embarrassed by this EP because a lot of the songs are almost exact copies of Modern Baseball songs. Like listen to Re-Do and then listen to First and Ten. Modern Baseball actually found out about this and were allegedly upset about it but I guess they've made amends since then. So yeah, this will never be available on regular streaming and you can expect to never hear them play any of these songs live again. They don't really like to talk about it either.
I always found this so weird. Like we see in Best Buds, which was made like a year later, that they are actually capable of making great music on their own. I have no idea why they felt the need to plagiarize. At least they owned up to it, more than you can say about a lot of people.
I lowkey don't mind that these are blatant copies anymore because I have the closure of knowing that mom jeans as a band has grown, improved, and has found their own sound. I still think these all sound good, and I still think all of the original songs sound good, too, I would only feel uncomfortable listening if I knew that mj was still copying artists and their songs.
Honestly since mom jeans has found their own sound since this was released in 2014 i think this album is really good despite the ***heavy*** mobo and front bottoms "inspired sounds"
it was used as a practice album to see how they sound, they never profitted off of it and they also apologized to modern baseball for it. Wasnt meant to be an album they officially released, and they didnt lol
@@sang-jinlee9265 yeah, most if not all of the songs are very very similar to a lot of MOBO songs and front bottoms :( I guess they got together and just decided to push this EP under the rug which is a shame cause I love it so much
Here are the original songs for those who are wondering: 1. Re-Do by Modern Baseball 2. Hours Outside in the Snow by Modern Baseball 3. It’s Funny You Should Ask by The Front Bottoms 4. Broken Cash Machine and It’s Cold Out Here, both by Modern Baseball 5. Twin Size Mattress, Maps, and Swimming Pool, all by The Front Bottoms 6. Re-Done by Modern Baseball Modern Baseball and The Front Bottoms are top 5 bands for me, so this was pretty easy. I also love Mom Jeans, so this EP was a bunch of fun. Feel free to reply any I might have missed!
Wait I might be dumb, but It’s Cold out Here came out on the Couples Therapy split EP with Marietta in 2015, so if this came out in 2014 how did that work? Maybe they released as a single or something and I just don’t know, but I found that interesting
@@aaronsageser2883 It’s Cold Out Here came out on Couples Therapy in 2012. On Valentine’s Day 2013, they rereleased and rewrote the song as Phone Tag for a Valentine’s Day split. In 2015, MoBo did release The Perfect Cast EP, which might be what you’re confusing the year for.
@@gold_green2001 ohh okay. The reason I thought that it was in 2015 is because that’s what it says on Apple Music, so I guess it’s just incorrect. Thanks!
Its weird seeing this blowing back up mildly, to all the comments this has been talked about for a long time and mom jeans turned into a legendary band with a vibe that cant be matched. This is old lets just enjoy it cause it is fire 😉😉
@@bobbirdsong6825 it hurts knowing every song by heart. I love best buds that album means a lot to me and to listen to these “re-recordings” is just gross
So I may get the chance to briefly meet at least Eric Butler, and it’s my burning desire to ask his opinions of this album now, and ask if he would ever play anything from it in his lifetime because it would be my dream to hear this live.
As I'm cleaning my house, I still fuck with this idrc. I thought this was a good ass rip off album. Not sure if that was the intention, but I do like the band overall and I'm ready for the new record.
ua-cam.com/video/hCL7qB8NUYM/v-deo.html&ab_channel=BoozeN.Tunes check out 21:40 Eric talks about how it was not the intention but rather a direct result of them idolizing mobo. He went as far as to not listen sit down to Holy Ghost in order to limit influence from them. Im so bummed i missed tickets for the text mj show in denver
The band doesn’t really play or talk about any of these songs because they are mostly knockoffs of some mobo songs. Apparently bren from mobo also got pretty upset about these and it seems like Eric kinda of got mad at himself.
First and Ten is just Re-do by modern baseball. Workaholics ending is just like It's Cold Out Here, they also copied that song in Jorts. Bad call is just Re-Done by modern baseball, and Fishtank is Broken Cash Machine by modern baseball. The only song that wasn't a Mobo copy was a front bottoms copy
@Dawson Ages there's a difference in covering a song, where you keep almost all the lyrics the same and just personalize the way you play, and copying it where you steak it's sound yet use your own lyrics and pass it off as your own. Mom jeans gave no credit to the bands they stole from when the released, which makes it worse. Mom jeans is a good band, but did only the right thing by not releasing it because they would've probably been sued if they made profit off it
wtf even the second song sounds like hours outside the snow by Modernbaseball but it sounds good ..................... they're probably just influenced by them
damn even the last song sounds like redone by modernbaseball but honestly I would do the same i have a band and when you listen to the songs I made they sounds very much like modenabaseball hahaahhahahaha
So yeah. From what I gathered from asking around was they had a hard time finding their sound when they formed, completely reasonable but they don't like this album circulating, I'm pretty sure they asked this dude to take it down but I'm not 100% but I think it's better if we respect the boys at mom jeans by gatekeeping this masterpiece... (MJ did mobo better than mobo)
On a scale of "Wow this artist really wears their influences on their sleeve" to "key evidence in a copyright lawsuit" how blatant is the plagiarism here?
I see why modern baseball was upset these are way better than their counterparts Also have you listened to Birks and stocks by mom jeans? It’s pretty dope another one of those unreleased/taken down projects but not sure why it’s not a official song
i wonder if they meant to make it a cover album but just fucked the entire process up and never fixed it. i cant see bart or eric purposefully ripping off from one of their fav artists

you only call me when you're drunk sounds a lot like front bottom's song "funny you should ask"
@@grubbsy6046 which has the same riff as Wedding Singer by Mobo
@@grubbsy6046 yeah I was like is this a front bottoms cover?

@Kasdeya Verdelette there is nothing funnier than the fact you just compared Mom Jeans to the Mona Lisa
my favourite modern baseball album
I agree, I'm not joking. this is all stolen mobo, and I really love it, maybe more than sports. LOL
I lowkey don't mind that these are blatant copies anymore because I have the closure of knowing that mom jeans as a band has grown, improved, and has found their own sound.
I still think these all sound good, and I still think all of the original songs sound good, too, I would only feel uncomfortable listening if I knew that mj was still copying artists and their songs.
future softball
The front baseball jeans
Yawn.
Nah its Momdern bottoms
American front baseball jeans fight
If you've never listened to Modern Baseball I envy you, because this shit is chord for chord at points

guess they did a "re-do" on some mobo songs
I’m so happy for everything that happened to lead me to this album
lmao exactly how im feeling right now
Omg same
God bless the broken road
@maxonmendel5757 brother I swear I've never even heard this album, and i dont remember commenting this.
Stay shattered you hopeless romantic :)
I understand why they don’t mention this album but omg it’s just so fucking good :(
fr bro it’s so good
why do they not want to??
D:
if I were to guess it's because it sounds so much like mobo?? like the second song is nearly the same as hours outside in the snow (no hate)
@@sang-jinlee9265 yeah, most if not all of the songs are very very similar to a lot of MOBO songs and front bottoms :( I guess they got together and just decided to push this EP under the rug which is a shame cause I love it so much
@@qwantry totally fair. but yeah that's kindof what i like about it. it reminds me of 2013

@@aaronsageser2883 yeah, that’s really odd. Anyways, you’re welcome!
this entire album is a work of art. If They could of done an actual colab with mobo on this... oh man
That would have actually been too amazing
@@terragrow440 bren wasnt enthused when he heard this
If only MOBO came back 😢
You only call me when your drunk also sounds like The front Bottoms but I think this song was out before then
First song MOUTH DROPPED
thats cuz its a mobo song silly
@@ceej93sadly i feel like mj did it better- coming from a giant MOBO fan
The album of covers
finding this is the highlight of my year
Its weird seeing this blowing back up mildly, to all the comments this has been talked about for a long time and mom jeans turned into a legendary band with a vibe that cant be matched. This is old lets just enjoy it cause it is fire 😉😉
Super fire
Finally re-did
I love mom jeans so much
i really understand why they dont talk abt this album but its a real fucking banger
basically, mom jeans is embarrassed by the fact that this ep consists completely of stolen songs.
modern baseball
re-do
Front bottms
@@coreyankney8048 microwaved big Mac
Modern (Not really but it wants to be kinda) Baseball
Better than both tbh, and i love the other 2 bands alottttt
listening to this with my crush rn
the first song is probably my favourite song from them haha
Listen to Re-do modern baseball
@@MarcelVLafonde yeah i knew Mobo before MJ but its still good tho
@@brandynkilpatrick Yeah, I was just pointing out they're the same song
@@brandynkilpatrick its a direct copy of redo
Mom jeans and mobo are my two favorite bands this is god tier shit
these are great, but I definitely see why they used to be called a blatant modern baseball ripoff lol
It's interesting how embarrassed Eric was of this ep.
Guys I’m sorry but I think I like this better than any of the things they are imitating
same
Same same
same same same
First and ten makes me cry
If anyone has the actual spring demo, I am interested in hearing it
It’s funny, for an album of copies of other band’s music; this has more heart than their new album
bear market is the best cover or greatest hits album to be released by any band
so real
@@bobbirdsong6825 this is a painfully wrong opinion
@@RockerLock sorry you don't appreciate such a fun album, it's awesome to listen to when you know every song inside and out
@@bobbirdsong6825 it hurts knowing every song by heart. I love best buds that album means a lot to me and to listen to these “re-recordings” is just gross

i’m sorry to ruin your day, but he has said before he won’t preform any of the *inspired* music
This the spring demo
Nah spring demo is acoustic
Cause I'm tiredddd. Of waiting for you to decide that the moment is rightttt
I thought this was called Spring Demo
As I'm cleaning my house, I still fuck with this idrc. I thought this was a good ass rip off album. Not sure if that was the intention, but I do like the band overall and I'm ready for the new record.
Sweet Tooth is gonna fuck me up

@@mattfaas3040 That's a cool story, haha. Thank you! :D
@@nuclearblackhole don't be so literal
@@terragrow440 I'll try to take it easy.
Still my favorite Mom Jeans songs. I love all of them but these here are fuckin' triple platinum! In my heart. Lol
fyi, all these songs are blatant copies of modern baseball and the front bottoms songs.
Yeah I got that bud thanks for stating something obvious maybe you didn't see my other comment on this video
Why isnt this everywhere

mobo sucks lmao this is like when a cover band plays the song better than the original

@@jacklong5158 they did it better tho
why does the first song sound too much like redo by modernbaseball
wtf even the second song sounds like hours outside the snow by Modernbaseball
but it sounds good ..................... they're probably just influenced by them
then workaholics sound like its cold out here
then fishtank sounds like twin size mattress by the front bottoms damn this is probably when they were heavily influenced by others
damn even the last song sounds like redone by modernbaseball but honestly I would do the same
i have a band and when you listen to the songs I made they sounds very much like modenabaseball hahaahhahahaha
Lol yes thats the point bud 🔮
Fishtank is way better than broken cash machine dont @ me
So yeah. From what I gathered from asking around was they had a hard time finding their sound when they formed, completely reasonable but they don't like this album circulating, I'm pretty sure they asked this dude to take it down but I'm not 100% but I think it's better if we respect the boys at mom jeans by gatekeeping this masterpiece...

cry about it
They did it better than mobo
This is so fucking funny
These are my favorite Modern Baseball and Front Bottoms songs ever. All their other stuff sucks!
I see why modern baseball was upset these are way better than their counterparts
Also have you listened to Birks and stocks by mom jeans? It’s pretty dope another one of those unreleased/taken down projects but not sure why it’s not a official song
hard agree lol
Yes.
They ripped off a Just Friends song on that one lol
Yeah no, this ain’t it dawg.
@@slysteez9645 which song?
does anyone have the download link?
can i have the file??
Yes and no
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Not copying, it's called interpolating.
i wonder if they meant to make it a cover album but just fucked the entire process up and never fixed it. i cant see bart or eric purposefully ripping off from one of their fav artists
Is this a joke??
lmao
Jesus, Funny When You're Drunk is almost a 1:1 ripoff of Funny You Should Ask lol
yes this is a joe
A proper Joseph, this is
they modern baseballed better than modern baseball
this is blasphemy
