.::. EVE 6 .::.

The Short of it Eve 6 loves writing songs and playing with ourselves...musically. They also love great books, Elliot Smith, and the entire Family Guy series on DVD. And a lot of other things. And you. The Long of it As Eve 6 was first signed in high school, they’ve barely had time to breathe since the huge success of 1998’s self-titled platinum debut. The group have done a lot of growing and needed time to process it all before putting together the cohesive, self-searching and revealing album that became It’s All In Your Head. Ultimately, the pressure pushed the band to new heights. "Really, truly realizing that people are listening to us and what you have to say can be scary and empowering," muses vocalist/bassist/lyricist Max Collins. "That’s incredible and it was in my head really for the first time." The clever titles and lyrics to Eve 6’s past hits--"Leech" and "On the Roof Again"--hint at a band that is left of center, but who easily turn their smart sensibilities into irresistible top pop hits like "Inside Out," "Here’s to the Night" and "Promise." With the release of It’s All In Your Head, Eve 6’s third album for RCA, they’ve lived up to the "promise" of past praise. In fact, as Rolling Stone observed of 2000’s Horrorscope: "Eve 6’s pop comes pumped up in the high-Gatorade style of athletic guitar punk…could well pave the way for a richer third one [CD]." It doesn’t get much richer than It’s All In Your Head. And it couldn't have been much more difficult for the trio to reach their aural destination this go-round. But the struggle has paid off in the dozen songs on It’s All In Your Head (which is a term the band kept repeating in times of self-doubt). The L.A.-based threesome got off the road from a year and a half of touring a mere two days before the WTC attacks in 2001. Trying to adjust to the new world--and their own personal new worlds--has resulted in a record that is timely, timeless, personal, universal, and most of all, eminently listenable and memorable. Bolstered by the first single "Think Twice," It’s All In Your Head was produced by NYC-based up ‘n’ comer Gregg Wattenberg and mixed Tom Lord-Alge, (Rolling Stones, Hole, Marilyn Manson) and Jim Scott. (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Foo Fighters). The album runs the gamut from the nasty snarl of the old Brit-punk sounding "Still Here Waiting" to "Hey Montana," a Dylan-esque, booming, mournful gem. Then there’s the catchy chorus and warning tone of "Bring The Night On" and the nervous energy of the all-out rave-up "Without You." Heavier subject matter is the heady the true story of "Friend of Mine," a poignant song where Collins sings: "Are you feeling that you're on the ... historia completa »
