Into It. Over It. is an indie rock band founded in 2007 as the solo project of Chicago, Illinois-based musician Evan Thomas Weiss. It is considered a leading act of the early-2010s emo revival scene.[1][2]

History

[edit]

Evan Weiss grew up in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. His first exposure to emo was hearing the band Sunny Day Real Estate in the seventh grade while browsing a record shop. He continued his interest in music by buying Jade Tree and Polyvinyl recordings and going to local shows in Philadelphia. In the fourth or fifth grade, Weiss started the band J.A.R. with school friends; it eventually became The Progress and garnered modest local success.[3] The Progress released an album and two EPs before breaking up in 2008. The Progress later reunited sporadically to perform one-off live shows. However, Weiss could not convince his bandmates to play in the band full-time.

Weiss started a solo project under the moniker Into It. Over It. He first released music through two unorthodox concept projects: 52 Weeks and Twelve Towns. 52 Weeks involved writing, recording, and releasing one song every week for a year; it was later released as a compilation). Twelve Towns was a 12-song project released over six separate splits with several different bands, each song was named after a town.[4] In May 2011, Into It. Over It. made an appearance at Bled Fest.[5]

The band released a split EP with Castevet titled Snack Town on Topshelf Records.[6] The 7" vinyl version was released on July 28, 2010, while the digital edition came out on August 14, 2010.[7][8][9] Into It. Over It. and Castevet then embarked on six-date tour together, spanning from June 29 to July 4, 2010.[10]

In June, Weiss released Into It. Over It.'s first studio album, Proper on No Sleep Records, which was produced by Ed Rose. In November and December 2011, Into It. Over It. supported The Swellers on their European tour.[11] In March and April 2012, Into It. Over It. supported The Wonder Years on the Glamour Kills Spring 2012 tour in the United States.[12] To promote the tour, the bands released a compilation showcasing the bands covering each others' songs. Into It. Over It.'s contribution was a cover of The Wonder Years's track "Don't Let Me Cave In".[13] This was followed up in 2013 with Intersections, released on Triple Crown Records and on Big Scary Monsters in UK/Europe.

In January 2015, Weiss and touring drummer Josh Sparks lived for a month in a secluded cabin in Craftsbury, Vermont where they wrote the third Into It. Over It. album.[14] Built for the specific purpose of allowing musicians to work in isolation, Weiss said of the location: "We were an hour from the nearest gas station, an hour from the nearest grocery store. Isolated, 4ft of snow on the ground, and negative 20 degrees outside. The whole thing was run on solar or generator power, so no phone, no internet."[15] He and Sparks spent thirteen hours a day writing music.[14]

Weiss undertook a solo tour with Kevin Devine and Laura Stevenson, a stint in the UK with Modern Baseball, and several spring support dates for Minus the Bear.[16][17] After more than 250 shows in fifteen counties since 2013, Weiss wrapped up touring. He began recording the band's third studio album, Intersections, with John Vanderslice.[15] Weiss and Sparks entered Vanderslice's Tiny Telephone Studios in June to record. Weiss recalled: "We couldn't sweat the small stuff, you're not able to go in and tweak or micromanage little sections of the music. It helped me accept chaos in a way I couldn't before."[15]

After Weiss completed a tour with his side project Pet Symmetry in support of Dan Andriano in the Emergency Room and Jeff Rosenstock, Into It. Over It. continued to play shows until the end of 2015.[18] Notable dates included Riot Fest Chicago, The Promise Ring's New Year's Eve reunion show, Weiss's solo set at The Fest, a tour in support of The Get Up Kids in December.[19][20][21]

Into It. Over It. promoted their third album Standards through an article on SPIN, a teaser on their Facebook page, and an interview with Noisey that was accompanied by a stream of the song "No EQ".[14][15] Standards was released on March 11, 2016, through Triple Crown Records. March through May, the band toured the United States in support of the album alongside The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die.[22]

[edit]

Weiss played in numerous bands from Chicago and his hometown of Cherry Hill, New Jersey. He currently fronts Pet Symmetry with Erik Czaja and Marcus Nuccio of the emo band Dowsing.[23] He also fronted Their / They're / There alongside Mike Kinsella of Owen and Matthew Frank of Loose Lips Sink Ships.[24] He plays bass in both bands despite having gained notoriety as a guitarist in Into. It Over It. Bass was the first instrument he learned and is what he usually plays.[25]

He was previously a member of Damiera and Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A Start.[26][27] He also played in smaller bands during his high school years including, Labour, Map the Growth, The Funeral Bird, Hiroshima Mon'Amour, Sleeper Agents, The French Connection, Emergency, The Progress, and Forgive Her Choke Her.[28][29][30]

In 2015, Into. It Over It.'s current drummer Josh Sparks and Evan Weiss' Their / They're / There bandmate Matthew Frank announced that they had formed a side project called Recreational Drugs, subsequently signing to Count Your Lucky Stars Records to release their debut self-titled EP.[31][32] Sparks later left the band.

The original members of Into It. Over It.'s live band formed Stay Ahead of the Weather.[33] They released an EP in 2010 and a split with The Wonder Years.
