Formation of Eve 6 and early beginnings
Eve 6 formed in 1995 in La Crescenta, California, originally named Yakoo and then Eleventeen before adopting the name Eve 6. The original lineup included Max Collins (bass, lead vocals), Jon Siebels (guitar, backing vocals), and Nick Meyers (drums). The band's first performance took place at Eagle's Coffee Pub in North Hollywood. Early on, while still in high school, they secured a recording contract with RCA Records. Shortly after, Meyers left and was replaced by Tony Fagenson on drums, solidifying the classic lineup.
1998
Release of debut album 'Eve 6' and breakout success
Eve 6 released their self-titled debut album in 1998, which achieved platinum status fueled by hit singles such as "Inside Out" and "Leech." "Inside Out" notably reached number one on the Modern Rock charts and gained heavy rotation on MTV's Total Request Live, helping the band cross over into mainstream pop radio. The album also featured "Tongue Tied," which was included in the racing game Test Drive 6. This successful debut established Eve 6 as a notable alternative rock presence.
2000
Release of second album 'Horrorscope' and rise in popularity
The band's sophomore album, 'Horrorscope,' was released in 2000 and quickly earned gold certification. This album produced popular singles like "Promise," "On the Roof Again," and the Top 40 hit "Here's to the Night." Eve 6's media appearances expanded, including performances on major shows like The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and The Late Show with David Letterman. Their music videos were staples on MTV, with "Here's to the Night" becoming especially prominent during summer 2001, further elevating the band's profile.
2003
Experimental third album 'It's All in Your Head' and band challenges
In 2003, Eve 6 released their third studio album, 'It's All in Your Head,' marked by a more experimental sound. The album featured the top 10 Modern Rock hit "Think Twice." Despite the artistic growth, the album saw relatively poor sales compared to previous efforts. The pressures of sudden fame and the band's young age led to mental and physical exhaustion. Shortly after, Eve 6 parted ways with RCA Records and announced an indefinite hiatus in 2004, as the members sought to pursue other projects and personal health.

Hiatus and breakup of Eve 6
In 2004, following the release of 'It's All in Your Head' and strained band dynamics, Eve 6 officially announced an indefinite hiatus. Their final concert before the break-up took place on July 15, 2004, under the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. During this period, Max Collins explored other musical ventures such as Brotherhood of Lost Dogs, and Collins and Fagenson formed The Sugi Tap. This phase also involved the duo branching into songwriting and production for other artists.
2007
Band reunion and touring with new lineup

Initially known as Yakoo, then Eleventeen, the trio—Max Collins (bass, lead vocals), Jon Siebels (guitar, backing vocals), and Nick Meyers (drums)—quickly made a name for themselves. Their first gig at Eagles Coffee Pub in North Hollywood foreshadowed bigger things to come. While still in high school and managed by Jake Knight, Eleventeen landed a recording contract with RCA. However, after recording an unreleased EP, Meyers departed, replaced by Tony Fagenson.

Signing with Fearless Records that year, they unleashed their fourth album, Speak in Code, featuring the singles "Victoria" and "Curtain" (April 2012). Continuing their creative journey, Eve 6 released the Grim Value EP in 2021, followed by the full-length album Hyper Relevisation on Velocity Records in 2022.
