For me, Man Overboard has long been a pop-punk band with a great amount of potential, but had up until now failed to really deliver at the highest level. They’ve always been a very listenable band, with ‘White Lies‘ they definitely seem to hint at a slightly higher quality with album number three however, and it sounds as though they’ll now be taking things to a whole new level, and probably a whole new greater audience too.
‘White Lies‘ is a very big sounding track, coming complete with a huge chorus and a great amount of fun about it. It’s not hugely different to what the band has come up with in the past, I just think that they’re doing it a little better now though; they’ve tightened up their sound, tightened up the production values, and I wouldn’t be at all surprised if 2013 sees the band propelled to whole new heights. They’re a pop-punk band with a great amount of talent, and that really seems to be coming through with their music now. It really is difficult to listen to ‘White Lies‘ without having a huge smile on your face; it’s a fantastic summer anthem from Man Overboard, and even though the weather in the UK is pretty awful right now, ‘White Lies‘ has most definitely brought a little sunshine into my life just lately.
If you like a good uplifting pop-punk song then Man Overboard’s ‘White Lies‘ is most certainly a song that should go down well with you. Instrumentally the band is strong, vocally the sound certainly hits the spot, and the track also comes complete with lyrics that you’ll undoubtedly be singing along to in no time. I for one absolutely can’t wait to hear the band’s third studio album, ‘Heart Attack‘, and will most certainly be checking it out when it’s released at the end of May.

Slam Dunk Festival 2013 is now looking even more epic than before as 13 more bands have been added to the line-up for the festival.
Kids in Glass Houses, Cancer Bats, and Heights are just some of the bands newly confirmed for the festival, and you can check out the full list of bands confirmed for the festival in the poster above.
2013 marks the fourth year that there has been a Slam Dunk South (Hatfield) as well as the now incredibly well established Slam Dunk North (Leeds), and this year even marks the start of a new leg of the tour as a Wolverhampton date is also now included. 2013 is shaping up to potentially be the best Slam Dunk Festival yet.
