Over It
Over It (1999)
Scott Heisel
Well, I think I finally thought of a term to call this emo-punk hybrid:
Hooded Sweatshirt Rock. Over It is the next in a longer and longer line of
bands to adapt to the punk beats and emo lyrics made popular by Gameface,
and more recently, Saves The Day. Over It are a very talented group of
Virginians, and they just click with me through their 6 songs on this self-titled EP. Similarites
abound between Over It and Saves The Day, both lyrically and musically.
This band has some serious staying potential, so jump on the bandwagon now
before you're left behind. While you're at it, check out Humble
Beginnings, too. They're from New Jersey, and both they and Over It have
this hooded sweatshirt rock thing down pat. By the way, I have that phrase
copyrighted, so don't go claiming you made it up.
