Update on our favorite band ever... Over It
 
Do you remember when Pete and his band would play Providence a few years back? Remember standing in the crowd in awe because you knew these guys were different - just by hearing one song... guitar licks, lyrics, vocals... you knew they were legit. Now do you remember the day they got signed? You were so happy because they were finally getting the recognition they desereved. Remember the day you found out they were moving to California? Mixed emotions. Knowing that you were so happy for Pete, Seth, James, and Nick, but sad to see the best underground band in the Northern Virginia scene leave, not knowing when they came back. And do you remember how you felt when they came back to NoVa for their first home show since moving to California... you were there every step of the way. WE were there every step of the way.

Now guess what... they've done it again. They never cease to amaze us. They spent a few months this year opening for Yellowcard and when the lead singer got injured and couldn't sing... Pete filled in... OUR PETE filled in. And for the record... a lot of people said they liked Pete singing the songs more than the original guy. Yeah. These are our boys. And now they're playing Warped Tour this summer and when they get back, they're going on tour with Rufio, Halifax, and Say Anything.

Yeah. O-face.

Finally. We all know how frikin talented these guys are, they've been our best kept secret for years, but it's about time they started to get the recognition they deserve. For those of you who haven't heard of Over It... I'm just going to tell you now that this year is their  year. They're going to be frikin Huge.

PS: I got to hear some of their new material and it is badass. It's different from their other stuff, but it's still the same 4 guys working their asses off and raising the bar. So in otherwords, their new stuff is absolutely phenomenal... my jaw dropped. Just to think from Providence to Warped Stage... and we've been there for the ride. Amazing. When that new CD comes out, I know I'll be all over it.

Until then... I still love OVER IT.
