Over Atlantic was formed in August of 2008 by Alex, who lived in California, and Dan who lived in New Jersey. They came together through an online music site called punkdisasters, Dan sending Alex lyrics and guitar parts, and Alex trying to turn them into songs. This is their months of hard work paid off. In a world where music is made for money and fame, and bands are built off of image and appeal to 14 year old girls, Over Atlantic are trying to create something different. "We want to inspire people. We want to move people. We want you to feel something. We are Over Atlantic. Thank you for your time. " The band claimed to disband in February 2009, but this turned out to be nothing more than a hoax designed to mock the Blink 182 hiatus. The band is currently working on a new record.
