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. People who liked this also liked:           Please login or register to post comments. What are the benefits of having a Punknews.org account?
I wouldn't wear a hooded sweatshirt with the words over it printed upon the front. Check out Scott's review of The Fairlanes, it sucks ass. yes...as a matter of fact I did buy the full length. My mistake. Once again, reading the review top to bottom helps. i prefer the full length but this is great too, these guys have great potential. You must've bought the full length album, called "The Ready Series." I didn't care for that one too much, either, but this EP is really good. those 2 mp3s are songs from the Playing 4 Square comp, and are quite good, so good that when i saw this used i jumped on the opportunity to buy it. |
