    First listen to Evan Weiss Into IT Over IT for me. I am sure some confuse him with Ben Gibbard from Death Cab but the harmonies, guitar and vocals are incredible. Smooth acoustic guitar work and hard riffs abound throughout. A little something for everybody with this CD release so if you lean toward eclectic you will be pleasantly surprised. I see more indie and less emo on this one. A netFirst listen to Evan Weiss Into IT Over IT for me.

A net review noted they have a healthy set of tour dates throughout the US and Overseas. Close your eyes and enjoy! Expand

    Standards is a total success. [30 Apr 2016, p.68]

    Considering the lucid, poignant albums to come to fruition from cabin writing retreats (Bon Iver’s ‘For Emma, Forever Ago’, Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Nebraska’ etc.)--Standards is an album that is almost completely devoid of such clarity and space.

    Weiss is a smart, heartfelt performer whose stories rarely veer into overwrought territory, though the lukewarm acoustic fluff that occasionally lingers throughout Standards bogs down an otherwise affecting and perceptive listen.
