Hung Up on Nothing is the debut EP by New Jersey rock band Man Overboard.

Background and release

Man Overboard was founded in 2008 by vocalist/bassist Nik Bruzzese and lead guitarist Wayne Wildrick[1] when the pair were writing songs at Bruzzese's Small Hill Studio.[2] Wildrick brought in The Front Page member Zac Eisenstein[2] to play on vocals and guitar,[1] and Bangarang! member Justin Mondshcein to play drums.[2] The group then went to work on what would be their first release, Hung Up on Nothing.[1] The group shut themselves off in the studio and demoed close to 60 songs.[2] The band went to record Hung Up on Nothing in August with producer Jesse Cannon.[2] The EP was released on August 26,[3] as a free download. The band soon toured across the U.S.[1] In late 2009 the band signed to Run for Cover.[1] The EP was pressed physically for the first time since its first release in May 2014 on vinyl and cassette.
