Man Overboard was founded in 2008 by vocalist/bassist Nik Bruzzese and lead guitarist Wayne Wildrick[3] when the pair were writing songs at Bruzzese's Small Hill Studio.[4] Wildrick brought in The Front Page member Zac Eisenstein[4] to play on vocals and guitar,[3] and Bangarang! member Justin Mondshcein to play drums.[4] The group then went to work on what would be their first release, Hung Up on Nothing.[3] The group shut themselves off in the studio and demoed close to 60 songs.[4] The band went to record Hung Up on Nothing in August with producer Jesse Cannon.[4] The EP was released on August 26,[5] as a free download.[1] The band soon toured across the U.S.[3] In late 2009 the band signed to Run for Cover.[3] The EP was pressed physically for the first time since its first release in May 2014 on vinyl and cassette.
