Major League is excited to hit the road this spring as they prepare to tour for the first time in a decade. The band reunited last year to celebrate the 15th anniversary of their debut album The Truth Is… and now fans are invited to join the party as Major League brings the album up and down the East Coast. They’ll be on tour with Hit The Lights – who are celebrating 20 years of This Is A Stickup…Don’t Make It A Murder – starting April 30th, with stops scheduled in Durham, Orlando, D.C., Boston, Brooklyn, and more.

The band shares: “Our band was lucky enough to be a part of this special scene where community is everything. We’d be lying if we said we weren’t nervous but the excitement to take this family reunion on the road and reconnect with the very people that made this band possible supersedes any apprehension.

About Major League:

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 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.

Their 2012 debut full-length Hard Feelings, released on No Sleep Records, captured the emotion and energy that defined a generation of fans growing up in the era of Tumblr, VFW shows, and cross-country tours in beat-up vans. In early 2014, founding vocalist Nick Trask parted ways with the band, with Brian Joyce stepping in to take over lead vocals. That year, the band released There’s Nothing Wrong With Me—a more introspective, emotionally driven follow-up that marked a new chapter for Major League while preserving the core of their sound.

With extensive touring across the U.S., UK, Europe, and Japan alongside bands like Senses Fail, Funeral For A Friend, Mayday ParadeThe Starting Line, 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 officially made their return – reuniting with their original lineup, including vocalist Nick Trask. The band celebrated 15 years of The Truth Is… with an exclusive vinyl release through Paper & Wax, as well as a sold out hometown show at The Williams Center in Rutherford, NJ. Fans can expect more from the band in the months to come.
