History

[edit]

The band, originally a four-piece, started out on Negative Progression Records, who released their debut album The Ready Series on April 25, 2000.[1] They promoted it with a US tour between June and August 2000.[2] In December 2000 and January 2001, the band toured the south-eastern and midwestern US states with the Stryder.[3] The band signed to Lobster Records in December 2001.[4] In early 2002, Over It toured across the US with And So It Begins.[5] Over It released a split with My Captain in June 2002, following which both bands toured in July and August.[6] In June, the band played two weeks of shows with Near Miss.[7] Preceded by the free download of "Nothing Serious" on July 18, 2002, the band released Timing Is Everything on September 3, 2002.[8]

In October and November 2002, Over It toured across the US east coast; in January and February 2003, they toured across California.[9][10] In June, the band released an acoustic split with Junction 18.[11] The following month, the band appeared on the Radioactive Stage of Warped Tour.[12] Between September and November 2003, the band supported Rufio and Motion City Soundtrack on a co-headlining cross country tour.[13] On November 18, Timing Is Everything was reissued as an enhanced CD.[14] In April 2004, the band went on tour with the Matches, which was followed by a stint with A Wilhelm Scream in May. In July and August, the band appeared on Warped Tour.[15] They toured the West Coast with Tokyo Rose, My New Life and Park, and then toured with the Gamits and National Product the following month.[16][17]

The music video for "Siren on the 101" was posted online on January 24, 2005.[18] Over It went on a West Coast tour in February 2005 with Killradio and Acceptance. They released Silverstrand on March 8, 2005; in the two months leading up to its release, a new song from it was posted online on a weekly basis.[19] Silverstrand chronicles the band's move to southern California, and is their most focused work to date. The band added Ryan Ogren as an extra guitar player.[20] Over It toured the US in March and April 2005 with Tsunami Bomb and the F-Ups.[21] Following this, they appeared at The Bamboozle festival in April 2005, tour with Gatsbys American Dream and Rufio, and released a split single with Punchline on April 26, 2005.[22][23][24] In June 2005, they supported Halifax on their headlining tour, and played a few shows with Motion City Soundtrack, prior to an appearance on that year's Warped Tour.[25][26]

In October and November 2005, Over It supported Relient K on their headlining US tour.[27] On December 12, 2005, the band announced they had signed to major label Virgin Records. They went on a brief tour of Japan with Rufio and This Day and Age.[28] In March 2006, the band began recording their upcoming album for Virgin Records with producer Mike Green.[29] In April and May 2006, the band performed on the Virgin College Mega Tour alongside Yellowcard, leading up to an appearance at The Bamboozle festival.[30][31] On June 13, 2006, "Too Much Information" was posted on the band's Myspace profile, followed by "Gunslinger" a month later.[32][33] On July 20, 2006, Step Outside Yourself was announced for release in the following month.[34]

Negative Progression combined the band's early EPs into the compilation Outer Banks, and reissued The Ready Series under the name Welcome to Virginia; both of these were released on July 25, 2006.[35] On August 1, 2006, "Think Against the Grain" was posted on the band's Myspace.[36] Step Outside Yourself was released on August 29, 2006.[34] On September 20, 2006, the music video for "Siren on the 101" was posted online.[37] In November and December 2006, the band supported Goo Goo Dolls on their headlining US tour.[38] In September 2007, the band released The Strand, a compilation of rare and acoustic tracks, through their webstore.[39] Its release was preceded by "Anyday".[40]

In April 2008, the members announced they were not breaking up, despite focusing their efforts on their other band Runner Runner.[41] The following month, Step Outside Yourself was released in Europe through Wynona Records.[42] On August 28, 2012, Munters released his first solo acoustic album, Wood & Wire. During interviews to promote that album, he confirmed that Over It has not disbanded, and speculated about a reunion and new material.[citation needed] On May 31, 2020, Munters appeared on the song "Wasteland" which can be found the "Chasm" EP by Vice Years.[43]
