Eve 6 was a rock band from Southern California who was most well known for their hit " Inside Out ". They disbanded in 2004. The band consisted of Max Collins (vocals, bass), Jon Siebels (guitar), and Tony Fagenson (drums). Their musical genre was often classified as Alternative Rock or Punk Rock though their early work more closely resembles Pop Punk like that of Green Day or Screeching Weasel . The band formed in 1995 in La Crescenta, California first as Yakoo, then Eleventeen; the name Eve 6 was only adopted later. Their first show was at Eagle's Coffee Pub in North Hollywood. Eleventeen had secured a recording contract with RCA while Max and Jon were still in high school. HISTORY OF THE NAME Tony Fagenson , who auditioned while attending the University Of Southern California , was an '' X-Files '' fan. After seeing the episode "Eve" , which featured genetically engineered characters known as "Eves," he got the name from the character called Eve #6 who made a remark about biting a guard's eyeball, which Fagenson thought merited "Eve 6" as a band name. The band is well known for their song "Inside Out" (often referred to by its lyrics "Beautiful Oblivion" or "Heart in a Blender") which was featured on MTV and several television shows in the mid 90s before Eve 6 had even put out their first album. It still receives more airplay than any other Eve 6 song. 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 wrongly placed in a special education class, ("Tongue Tied," from ''Eve 6''). The nostalgic ballad "Here's to the Night", from ''Horrorscope'', is notably characterized by a change in tempo and style from the band's other songs, prefiguring the greater experimentation of the following and final album, ''It's All In Your Head''. While the song was written about a one night stand, for many teenagers it was a song about the closing of an era (specifically of high school), and was chosen by many graduating senior classes to be their "class song".
