“Man Overboard have made themselves one of the most important and exciting upcoming pop punk acts in the scene today” – Absolutepunk.net
It’s not often a band comes along that creates, defines and inspires a legion of die hard fans, MAN OVERBOARD have done just that. Their Defend Pop Punk motto may have started out as a simple t-shirt design but has now snowballed into a movement for honesty and integrity. This attitude has catapulted the band to the forefront of the pop punk world, in a scene that in many ways has lost its DIY spirit.
Their relentless work ethic has seen MAN OVERBOARD criss-cross the globe, converting fans into die hard believers. Their live shows have been engraved into pop punk folklore with their unpretentious and passionate delivery… “This hit a fever pitch as every member of the audience threw their fists into the air and used their feet in a threat to collapse the entire second floor with the collective rhythmic jumping.” – The NJ Underground
MAN OVERBOARD are proving to be one of the most exciting acts in the scene today. With the release of their critically acclaimed debut album ‘Real Talk’, Absolutepunk proclaimed “they have not only defended the genre, but have exceeded all expectations in the process.” while others said it would become a classic alongside Save’s The Day ‘Through Being Cool’ and Taking Back Sunday’s ‘Tell All Your Friends’.
Formed during the late spring of 2009, I AM VILLAIN has been making a name for themselves with their dynamic infusion of pop-punk and melodic hardcore locally, as well as internationally. Having released their debut EP ‘One Night, One Victim’ earlier this year, the band have been touring relentlessly supporting a diverse range of acts including The Chariot (USA), Oh Sleeper (USA) and Stealing O’Neal winning over one fan at a time.
