Over the course of the past year, INTO IT. OVER IT., the alias and mouthpiece for Philadelphia native Evan Weiss (The Progress / Up Up Down Down), has written and recorded exactly one new song every week for the past 52 weeks.

Last week, the project - or at least the current phase of it - came to an end as the final song has been posted. Check it out here.

And while you’re at it, why don’t you grab the previous 51 offerings as well? They’re all available in MP3 format and will remain on the site as free downloads for the next two weeks. Everything is currently being remixed and remastered by Steve Poponi (Up Up Down Down) and will be re-released via iTunes in October. Weiss is also planning on an eventual Into It. Over It. CD / Vinyl release. If you’re interested in being a part of that, drop him an email.

Into It. Over It. was conceived by Evan Weiss as a means to break free from a musical rut, as well as an autobiographical outlet to document that quickly passing thing we call “life.” The first song was posted on his 23rd birthday (09/27/07) and for each of the following 51 weeks Weiss tackled the ambitious task of writing and recording one new song for the span of a year.

52 weeks = 52 songs: a stat even more impressive considering that nothing was composed in advance, as well as the time constraints involved in such an undertaking. Of course, none of that would matter if the music didn’t hold up. No worries there as there are some really amazing indie rock songs on full display, ranging from tender to tough, sweet to stinging.

Most of the instruments were played by Weiss and the majority of songs were recorded at Gradwell House by Steve Poponi. The last few weeks of music was recorded on the road, however, as Weiss has become the full-time touring bassist for Equal Vision band, Damiera

While this year-long Into It. Over It. project has come to an end, Weiss has no plans on retiring the band. He’ll continue to tour with Damiera and soon he’ll begin a new Into It. Over It. adventure. He’s still not sure what exactly, but check the website in another week; he’ll be posting a wrap up - thoughts and reflections - on the experience, as well as speculation on the future of the band.
