Mike Doyle interviews Peter Munters of Over It about the band's history and experiences in the pop-punk scene.

Over It were a pop-punk outfit that emerged in 1998 from Alexandria, Virginia and later planted roots in Orange County, California. With high-energy hooks and relentless touring through the early 2000s, they carved out a place for themselves on the independent scene with albums like The Ready Series, Timing Is Everything, Silverstrand, and their major-label release Step Outside Yourself. Along the way they hit the Vans Warped Tour and toured with some of the era's biggest punk and rock acts, making a lasting mark on a generation of pop-punk fans.
