Real Talk is the debut studio album by American rock band Man Overboard.
Man Overboard was founded by vocalist/bassist Nik Bruzzese and lead guitarist Wayne Wildrick in 2008. The pair brought in vocalist/guitarist Zac Eisenstein, and the group went to work on what would be their first release, Hung Up on Nothing. The band soon toured across the U.S. On November 5, 2009, it was announced they signed to Run for Cover. Following the release of a few more EPs, the band went to work on their debut album.
Real Talk was released on July 19, 2010, through Run for Cover. On August 10, Real Talk was made available for streaming via Alternative Press. From mid August to early October, the band supported The Swellers on their tour of the U.S. On September 3, it was announced that guitarist Wayne Wildrick had left the band. The band explained that Wildrick had "some personal things to take care of". As a result of this, drummer Justin Collier switched to guitar, and Mike Hrycenko was brought in to fill in on drums. In March 2011, the band went on tour with The Wonder Years, followed by a March–April tour with Senses Fail. On April 28, it was announced that Wildrick had re-joined the band. A music video was released for "Montrose" on August 9.
The album was critically acclaimed upon release. The album was included at number 48 on Rock Sound's "The 51 Most Essential Pop Punk Albums of All Time" list.
