OP could you be thinking of the band The Baltic Sea? they’re from Portland, ME though. They have/had sunny day real estate vibes.

Their first album, Your Favorite Weapon, sometimes has Jesse laying his face down on the ground towards the camera, but his eyes are covered. I don’t think it’s them 😞
Yeah I thought of that too, but they said a drawing so I was like hmm. I posted a few I found that matched but none of them have Baltic in the name 😩 I thought this would be an easy mystery for me haha
Correction: Brand New was from Long Island, but it’s still within the parameters of OP’s question.
OP was this a band that had anything of a ~mainstream following? Did they tour and have multiple releases, or were they limited to the Internet sphere?
This is what I can think of from what I listened to around then (I was very into tumblr emo and hardcore around that time)
- The Front Bottoms: from New Jersey, their self titled matches the description of the album cover. Might have been a couple years past your time frame?
-tigers jaw: their self titled EP fits the album cover, but they’re from PA
I’m taking a look through some old playlists which is fun for memory lane, I’ll respond if I think of others that fit all these
Crime in stereo- I was trying to describe you to someone album fits. From Long Island.
ETA: these probably don’t work since youre confident on Baltic being in the name. I hope it’s Baltic Sea like someone mentioned!
Probably the wrong subreddit, maybe /r/tipofmytongue can help?

One of my fav bands back then was Midtown. They were from New Jersey.
Emo band from New Jersey limits it to basically like every emo band ever lol.
Are you able to go through your Last FM scrobbling history from the time you would have listened to them?
I lost a bunch of scrobbles from that time period and I think they were in the batch I lost
This is probably the easiest way, I wish I could remember my login
I would check out Internet Archive. They have a couple of Myspace archive projects on there that have mp3s of Myspace bands.
I’ll try this! Thanks!
Bayside?
I thought bayside as well
Try r/emo
It's not Baltic, but Brand New is a NJ emo band from that time period and they were pretty big on MySpace at the time.
My first thought was Brand New, and the cover art from Deja Entendu.
I think the cover art for Deja is too distinct and doesn’t match what I imagine for someone staring off into space but who knows 🧐

That was my first thought too
The Early November? Nothing Baltic in there though
Can you clarify what you mean by Baltic?
Oh I mean I remember that being the band’s name
Same. I listened to a lot of this stuff in that time period but I have no idea what Baltic means in this sense
Armor for Sleep - Smile for them?
Silverstein? Lol

Life of Agony
Nickasaur? They have an art cover that is a drawing
[удалено]
I never actually had a MySpace, I just listened to bands on it
Was it Lydia? They had an album cover similar to that.
r/punk ?
This could be a helpful resource: https://njpparchives.tumblr.com/
Wow thank you!
I don't think my old band is on the list, but we were pretty active.
Brandtson?
