Bio:

In a world of bands where truth often gets bogged down in the mire of genres, trends and politics, Over it would like to think they have stayed afloat. Out of Orange County, California, by way of Alexandria, Virginia, they have taken in the road and a host of adventures, discovering the things they value most. For this band, what matters is the sincerity of every last one of their hundreds of performances, a personal connection with their fans, and the quest for the inspiring song. Over it lives for furious sounds and a hopeful future.
Over It started young and dumb, just like any other high school band, but they stuck with it. They were super close friends from the beginning and were lucky enough to find avenues for their music while still learning to drive.
Recording and touring in support of their indie-released demo ep, “Over It” and a full length album, “The Ready Series” (both on Oakland’s Negative Progression Records) became more and more a priority for the band as they waited for Ulrich (drums, 20) to finish high school. So much that in the spring of 2001 Munters, Watts, and Bailey, already attending universities After a couple of years balancing school and a blossoming part-time touring band, Over It decided to push their education to the back-burner, and persuade their youngest band-mate to wait for college, instead joining them in the full-time pursuit of their love for music. To this day, the band reflects on this decision as the most pivotal turning point in Over It’s story.
“We were all good students, but distracted from our studies by the rewards we found in the studio and on the road,” remembers Watts. “We just told one another that if we could survive as a productive force, hear our songs featured on dozens of compilations worldwide and find content at each day’s end, we owed it to the world to work fully toward a musical destiny.”
Following the release of their “Hindsight 20/20” ep in 2001, the band garnered the attention of Santa Barbara’s own Lobster Records, who recognized the bands unflagging work ethic and positive energy. Encouraging Over It to continue and amplify their rigorous touring and eventually relocate to the Southern California markets, Lobster helped spawn “Timing Is Everything”, the band’s second full length. and most critically acclaimed work to date. Received by good press, and the approval of a growing fan base, the record propelled Over It through several national tours and two-week stints on the grueling and infamous Vans Warped Tour. The boys even found themselves riding bullet trains in Japan and eating roadside tacos in Mexico to support the album.
“Being on warped tour was all at one our greatest blessing and the most burdensome weight the band has carried, “ notes Munters. “We drove our van alongside the coaches of so many-of our idols, and touched base with more fans than we ever thought we would meet, working all day and driving all night to find as much as we could. It was truly a testament to how far a little dedication and sincerity can take four friends.”
In the spring of 2005, Over It finished their obligation to Lobster Records and released their third studio album “Silverstrand” under the knob twisting direction of Mike Green and Cameron Webb. The tours were getting bigger and better and after spending more time on the road,. Over It was ready to settle down and find a new record label. The guys were lucky enough to share the vision with Virgin Records. One particular part of this vision included the addition of a new guitar player: former Don’t Look Down front man, Ryan Ogren. The five person line up was first road tested on the Virgin College Mega Tour in the spring of 2006.
“We all feel blessed for having come so far, and awe-inspired by the road we still see winding down our horizon,’ says Bailey. Recently finishing their Virgin debut, the band is back in Southern California musing over their future. Their next plans include another summer with the Van’s Warped Tour, an appearance at the US Open of Surfing and a record release at the end of the summer.
