Over It

Discovering new limits for reckless impressions of the rock genre, and inspired by alternative bands like Jimmy Eat World or NOFX, Over It bring on invigorating stamina to the punk-pop style. Forming in Alexandria, VA, in 1998, Over It combined a four-piece crew, fronted by Peter Munters (guitar, vocals) and supported by Nick Bailey (guitar), James Ulrich (drums), and Seth Watts (bass). A few months after assembling, the band entered the studio to record their first demo tape, eventually getting the attention of Negative Progression Records. It was then that the quartet released its first six-song EP, the self-titled Over It that arrived in record stores in 1999. Following a relentless tour taking the band all over the Midwest, Over It entered the studio again, preparing for their first full-length. The Ready Series — the band’s debut album, released in late 2000 — gained significant acclaim, not only locally, but beyond, supporting the band again to tour, this time on a full-scale national tour. Obtaining consecutive airplay on numerous radio stations and raving reviews on the media, the Virginia team then started recording their third disc, the EP Hindsight 20/20, later issued in 2001. ~
