Canadian Softball is a fictional emo, indie rock and math rock parody band created by Jarrod Alonge. The band's style parodies the wave of Midwestern emo bands that came around in the late 1990s and early 2000s, such as American Football. Alonge stated that the band's name came from an amalgamation of American Football and Modern Baseball. The band is composed of vocalist and guitarist Jarrod Alonge, bassist Will Greene, and drummer/backing vocalist Andy Conway. The band was formed in 2004 and influences include Sunny Day Real Estate, Mineral, The Promise Ring, American Football, Pedro the Lion, The Get Up Kids, Jimmy Eat World, and Braid.
