Biography
Man Overboard is a movement that a lot of us have been waiting for. We are tired of the lip-synching, Justin Timberlake-wannabe, neon wearing, cheesy hair metal crap that passes itself off as pop-punk in 2010. Man Overboard is defending the honesty, integrity, DIY spirit that pop punk was built on and restore it’s good name. They have inspired countless kids to join this movement. Whether it is the kids across the country who are tattooing their logo and lyrics on them or just the turn out at their shows, the band is inspiring a passionate movement.
Their sound brings back the feeling you got listening to bands like Brand New, Lifetime, Taking Back Sunday, The Early November, and The Get Up Kids. Writing songs and hooks that get kids excited today while still maintaining an influence from yesterday Man Overboard are writing songs that matter in kids lives. The bands debut LP will be out this summer on Run For Cover Records.
