Real Talk is the debut studio album by American rock band Man Overboard.
Background and release[]
Man Overboard was founded by vocalist/bassist Nik Bruzzese and lead guitarist Wayne Wildrick in 2008.[5] The pair brought in vocalist/guitarist Zac Eisenstein, and the group went to work on what would be their first release, Hung Up on Nothing.[5] The band soon toured across the U.S.[5] On November 5, 2009, it was announced they signed to Run for Cover.[6] Following the release of a few more EPs,[5] the band went to work on their debut album.
Release[]
Real Talk was released on July 19, 2010, through Run for Cover. On August 10, Real Talk was made available for streaming via Alternative Press.[7] From mid August to early October, the band supported The Swellers on their tour of the U.S.[8] On September 3, it was announced that guitarist Wayne Wildrick had left the band. The band explained that Wildrick had "some personal things to take care of".[9] As a result of this, drummer Justin Collier switched to guitar, and Mike Hrycenko was brought in to fill in on drums.[9] In March 2011, the band went on tour with The Wonder Years,[10] followed by a March–April tour with Senses Fail.[11] On April 28, it was announced that Wildrick had re-joined the band.[12] A music video was released for "Montrose" on August 9.[13]
