A band that started with raw energy and later turned more introspective.

Man Overboard mattered because they captured a certain early-2010s pop-punk mood, especially with songs like 'How To Hide Your Feelings' that felt direct and relatable. Their story includes guitarist Justin Collier's leukemia diagnosis in 2012, which added a real-life weight to their music. Later albums like 'Passing Through a Screen' showed them shifting toward a quieter, more reflective sound.
They came out of Philadelphia around 2011 with an EP called 'The City Sleeps.' Albums like 'Real Talk' in 2013 and 'Heavy Love' in 2015 followed, and by 2018's 'Passing Through a Screen,' their sound had become more introspective.
