Major League have announced their return. The band will celebrating the announcement by releasing new 15th anniversary vinyl pressings of “The Truth Is…” this September. The reissue will also include new artwork and a bonus track titled “Hometown Heroes.” Pre-orders can be found HERE.
Guitarist Brian Joyce commented:
“There was never a single defining moment where any one of us at any point thought ‘this is the time’. To be honest, I don’t know that we ever thought there would be a Major League again. We spent 12 years not speaking a word. But when you’ve spent your formative years as kids creating something together in the corner of a basement that brought you around the world, the second we entered a room together again that chemistry picked up right where we left off.”
Original vocalist Nick Trask continued:
“Major League was always a huge part of our lives that I think we all thought we’d never revisit. It was an incredible moment lost in over a decade of silence, tucked away never to resurface again. I truly believe things happen for a reason and that a spark grew louder and louder in all of us. Something so magnetic it drew us back to fill a hole we never knew we had. Not everyone gets a second chance to relive their life’s monumental experiences and we are beyond grateful to have this opportunity once again.”
Joyce added:
“To have created something in your teenage and adult adolescence that continued to resonate with people fifteen years later, especially in the current revolving door of viral sensationalism just feels all the more special. I think we were always aware that the community around Major League was unique and passionate but to be nearly a decade out from our breakup and still meet people who share their stories about the band really felt like it was time to give something back that was long overdue. We’re so proud to partner with Paper and Wax and have their hands on something so special to us. Their meticulous planning and communication with us every step of the way has us ecstatic to have this be our re-introduction, so to speak.”
