This split 7" vinyl single brings together three emblematic names of the modern US indie and punk-influenced rock scene: Modern Baseball, Thin Lips and The Superweaks. Across its two sides, the record offers a compact yet remarkably diverse snapshot of contemporary underground guitar music, moving between emotionally charged indie rock, nervy punk energy and melodic, hook-driven power pop. The format emphasizes immediacy: each band delivers tightly written, memorable tracks that showcase their individual identity while forming a coherent whole through a shared DIY spirit, raw honesty and unpolished charm. The split structure makes this release ideal both as a discovery piece for newcomers and as a collectors' item for fans who want to own a physical artifact of this particular creative moment.
Stylistically, the selection balances loud, distorted guitars with catchy vocal lines and introspective lyrics. Expect dynamic shifts between anthemic choruses and more restrained passages, as well as a strong emphasis on relatable, everyday storytelling. The sequencing of the songs creates a natural flow, highlighting the contrasts and common ground between the bands: from emotionally vulnerable indie-punk to slightly more power-pop-leaning arrangements, always rooted in a vibrant, guitar-driven sound. Thanks to the 7" format, the listening experience feels immediate and repeatable - the kind of record you flip over and play again as soon as the needle lifts.
The release is pressed as a classic vinyl single, designed for collectors and audiophiles who appreciate the warmth, presence and physical ritual of putting a record on the turntable. The compact format underlines the idea of a focused, curated selection rather than an exhaustive overview, offering a concentrated dose of creativity instead of an overlong tracklist. Whether you file it in your indie rock, emo-adjacent or punk section, this split fits seamlessly into a collection that values emotional authenticity and underground aesthetics.
Behind this edition stands Big Scary, an independent label known for championing forward-thinking, guitar-driven underground music.

The label's philosophy emphasizes artistic freedom, honest songwriting and high-quality physical formats, making this split 7" not just another record, but part of a broader catalogue that consistently highlights some of the most compelling voices from the indie and punk scenes.
