A Dedicated Band with Local Ties and Tours
Man Overboard is a band known to “defend pop punk”. The South Jersey group holds true to this motto by non-stop tours filled with upbeat, pop- laced punk influenced by bands like Blink-182, Taking Back Sunday, and The Promise Ring. With the one year anniversary of their third studio album, Heart Attack, approaching, Man Overboard is hitting the road (again) for a headlining tour which wraps in Philadelphia on June 21st.
