Major League is a New Jersey-based rock band that rose to prominence in the early 2010s with a heartfelt mix of pop punk and emo. Formed in 2009 by guitarist Brian Anthony Joyce and fronted by original vocalist Nick Trask, the band quickly became known for their relentless DIY ethic—self-booking shows, hitting the road nonstop, and building a passionate fanbase from the ground up. Their early releases, including The Truth Is... and Variables, struck a chord with listeners for their sincerity and urgency, with tracks like "From States Away" and "Seasons" becoming staples of the scene.
With extensive touring across the U.S., UK, Europe, and Japan alongside bands like Senses Fail, Funeral For A Friend, Mayday Parade, The Starting Line, Silverstein, PVRIS and Turnover - Major League solidified their status as a defining voice in the modern emo and pop punk scenes.
After disbanding in 2016 following a heartfelt farewell tour, the band’s music continued to resonate with longtime fans and new listeners alike. In 2025, after a wave of cryptic teasers and online speculation, Major League is officially confirming their return—reuniting with their 2012 line up of Luke Smartnick, Eric Bouda, Matt Chila, Brian Anthony Joyce and Nick Trask.
