Great news Man Overboard fans! For the first time since 2015′s Heavy Love, the original defenders of pop-punk have returned with a brand new song.
Titled “Lifeline,” the band’s new track zeroes in on all the emotions they’ve been feeling since going on hiatus back in 2016.
“‘Lifeline’ is a song we wrote in December of 2019 asking the question is the love still there to do this anymore or have we all parted ways in life and lost the passion,” says bassist/co-vocalist Nik Bruzzese.
“We are the luckiest people in the world to be able to do this but that doesn’t mean it’s not mentally exhausting,” he adds. “Coming off of touring non-stop to real life is challenging. Trying to fit back into life, working on broken relationships, starting families, is what everyone in a band that you love goes through.”
Adding to Bruzzese’s sentiment, guitarist Justin Collier states, “We have really enjoyed the limited amount of time we get to spend together since we stopped being a full time band. We try to keep things light and fun and not adhere to any schedule but our own. With everything that is going on right now we thought there’s no better time to offer our fans a distraction.”
