Girls Dreams

Andy Warhol once famously predicted that in the future, everyone would be famous for 15 minutes. Well, it’s the future and Evan Weiss is famous as h*ck.

For a certain subgenre of rock, the Into It. Over It. frontman has become the guy - an accidental poster boy for sincere songwriters with sleeve tattoos, flannel, and thick-framed glasses who get sidelined in “revival” trends. But fame is fleeting and Weiss knows this. He plays with this notion in the new video for “No EQ,” in which everyone in the world has the chance to jack his style with an official Into It. Over It. American Emo Rocker Costume Kit™.

The video is wonderfully weird and self-aware, poking fun at the idea that careers in music are fickle and success is temporary. It’s also a terrifying look at what the world would be like if everyone looked and acted like Evan Weiss. (Discogs would need to beef up their servers, that’s for sure.) So put on your strategically cuffed straight-leg jeans and watch this video through the holes in your Weiss Mask. Just don’t throw it in the trash when you’re done.

"No EQ" is off of Into It. Over It.'s very excellent third album, Standards, available from Triple Crown Records. Into It. Over It. has a whole bunch of international shows coming up. Dates below.
