Man Overboard is the second studio album by the American rock band Man Overboard. After the release of their debut album Real Talk (2010), guitarist Wayne Wildrick left the group, resulting in several line-up changes. In December 2010, the group had signed to independent label Rise Records, and aimed to release another album by fall of next year. Following Wildrick's return to the band in April 2011, the group began demoing songs for their next album the following month. With New Found Glory guitarist Steve Klein standing in as producer, the group recorded their second album at Cannon Found Soundation Studios in New Jersey in June. Following this, the band went on a European tour with Polar Bear Club. After the album was announced in August 2011, "Dead End Dreams" was made available for streaming later that month, followed by "Spunn" in mid-September.
Man Overboard was released on September 27, 2011, and received favorable reviews. Reviewers noted comparisons to Blink-182 and Green Day. The album reached number 181 on the Billboard 200 and debuted within the top 40 on three other Billboard charts. Following a support slot for New Found Glory, the band closed the year with a headlining US tour, and a support tour for The Early November in December. A music video was released for "Somethings Weird" in January, and later that month, the band went on a headlining UK tour. Another US tour took place in February and March. During this tour, it was announced that drummer Mike Hrycenko had left the group and was replaced by Joe Talarico. Following this, the band embarked on a tour of Europe and Russia in March and April. A music video for "Dead End Dreams" was released on June 5. The band then went on the Warped Tour throughout the summer. Two more tours of the US and one of the UK followed between September and December 2012.
