Wow! No time to relax! Last week you may have heard that our latest record Real Talk leaked, so put it out a month early and is now available at our Bandcamp and iTunes. To recap it is $9 on Bandcamp and it has an exclusive track you can't get anywhere else and you can get our new single "Fantasy Girl" by using that widget above. It's been getting PERFECT reviews from sites like Alter The Press and Punk Like Me that we are very grateful for. But that's last weeks new, here is this weeks news!

Man Overboard is proud to announce the launch of our own label, Lost Tape Collective. We will be releasing quality and creative records by bands and artists that we enjoy and support. The first Lost Tape release will be the Man Overboard "Real Talk" Cassette Tape, limited to 100 copies. Will also be releasing 7"s, CD's and Tapes from artists including Basement (from UK), AYS (from Germany), True Things (ex- I Call Fives), Smile & Burn (from Germany) and History (members of Man Overboard & Bearings).

We will be offering a lot of Name Your Own Price digital downloads (starting at FREE) and inexpensive physical products along with zines, events, merchandise and anything else we dream up and put a Lost Tape logo on. The first releases are as follows

001: MAN OVERBOARD: Real Talk (Tape)

See you guys soon!

Greetings Everyone,
Our debut full length, Real Talk is now available for download, and our new single "Fantasy Girl" is up for free!!! Wait! What? What?!!

You might be asking yourself, "Is it July 20th? Was I asleep for the past month? How is it the release date for Man Overboard's Real Talk?" You haven't been asleep. As many of you may know our record has slipped through the cracks and leaked its way onto to the Internet. MOB and Run For Cover are huge music fans and we know how much it sucks when you want to support a band and buy their music, but some jerk who doesn't love the band half as much as  you, is listening to their illegally downloaded copy of a record you want so bad and the only way you can get it, is to illegally download it. Rather than have our fans experience that pain that we go through all the time, we figured we should get it out to those of you who are cool enough to want to support us ASAP. SO! The album is now available for download at our Bandcamp for $9 with an exclusive bandcamp bonus track (not available on the CD/LP or leaked version) titled, "Again." The album will also soon be available on iTunes (it may be there right now, go check!) without the bonus track and of course for more money.

If you want a taste of the record you can get our new single "Fantasy Girl" in exchange for your email or a Tweet from the little widget above all of this text.

We put our record into a select number of hands that we not only trusted, but who swore they would protect the album until its proper release date. A certain person was either trying to get some n00dz, or pick up a few scene points. To those who we sent the record to and you held it close - thanks a million and we seriously appreciate your dedication, hard work and anything that you have done to help our band. Seriously. And to the person who sent it out to people - Cmon son, you fucked up.

You can pre-order a physical copy of the CD or Vinyl from Bandcamp with an immediate digital download and the exclusive track download. Physical copies and the rest of our merch is also available in our merch store and at Run For Cover's store.

Thank you to those of you who are cool enough to support us and Run For Cover. We literally could not do it without you. No thanks to the asshole who leaked the record. Leave the underage girls for the underage boys and get "sucks at life" tattooed on which ever hand you write with.

TO THOSE WHO HAVE PRE-ORDERED: Run For Cover will be mailing you a download of the album! In the next 24 hours.
