Into It. Over It./Make Do & Mend/Hostage Calm/Signals Midwest

Into It. Over It. is Evan Thomas Weiss, a twenty-something guy who writes acoustic indie songs about his life experiences. The band’s first full release was a compilation of 52 songs, and a 12-song album on life in different cities followed. For his latest effort, Weiss wrote about the different neighborhoods in his home city of Chicago. That’s a lot of personal experiences coming at you, but they’re dressed in catchy melodies. Plus, Weiss has a good voice, and you really just want some good luck to come his way. (Hunt)
