BAND MEMBERS
STYLE Eve 6's basic rock trio (guitar/bass/drums) sound is augmented on their later studio recordings with many interesting studio techniques. For example, "Bang" (from '''') and "Superhero Girl" (from '' Eve 6 ''), ballads, such as "Hey Montana" (from ''It's All in Your Head'') and "Here's to the Night" (from ''Horrorscope''), and anthems (characterized by beginning almost inaudibly, with sparse instrumentation, and ending climactically) such as "Arch Drive Goodbye" (from ''It's All in Your Head''). Eve 6 was perhaps best known for its lyrics, however, which feature vivid imagery and inventive wordplay: two of the group's hits, "Inside Out" (from their self-titled album) and "Promise" (from ''Horrorscope''), are good examples of this style. Romance and angst are common themes, but the band also explores issues of gender identity ("Jet Pack," or "Sunset Strip Bitch," both from ''Horrorscope''), suicide ("Friend of Mine," from ''It's All in Your Head''), and being placed in a special education class, ("Tongue Tied," from ''Eve 6''). The nostalgic ballad, "Here's to the Night" is probably the most notable; it is characterized by a pleasant change in tempo and style from the band's other songs. For many teenagers it came to represent the closing of an era(specifically of high school), and was chosen by many graduating senior classes to be their "class song".
