"Do you like the heart in a blender song?" ^note Left to right: Jon Siebels, Max Collins and Tony Fagenson

"Want to put my tender, heart in a blender
Watch it spin around to a beautiful oblivion
Rendezvous then I'm through with you"

— "Inside Out"

Eve 6 is an alternative rock band from Southern California, who are most well known for their hit singles "Inside Out" and "Here's to the Night". They disbanded in 2004, returned in 2007 with a new lineup, and finally reunited with all three original members in March 2011. A forth album followed a year later.

Their name is a reference to one of the genetically engineered "Eves" from The X-Files episode "Eve". Eve #6 made a remark about biting a guard's eyeball.

The band has recently gained a small resurgence in popularity thanks to the frontman's prolific tweets in the band's main account. They're also settled to release a new EP named Grim Value in June 2021.

The current members of Eve 6 are:

• Max Collins – lead vocals, bass, guitar, piano
• Jon Siebels – guitar, backing vocals
• Ben Hilzinger – drums, percussion

The former members are:

• Tony Fagenson – drums, percussion, guitar, keyboards, programming, backing vocals
• Nick Meyers – drums, percussion

Eve 6 contains examples of:

• Anti-Love Song: "Promise"
  I promise not to try not to let you down.
• Bedroom Adultery Scene: Part of the apparently routine problems in "On The Roof Again".
  Things were copacetic till she caught him, things were cool and collected till she found him erected with another.
• Break-Up Song: "Girlfriend"
  • A lot of their songs have elements of this, including "Enemy":
  I can't get this shit off my mind, I just wanna be alright, so just tell me nothing's wrong, then get undressed and spend the night.
  • "Anytime" from Out Cold:
  Kiss your apocalips for the last last time, run away run away run away I can't find, anytime you think it changed your mind, anytime you want, jump back to me anytime.
  • And "Inside Out":
  Wanna put my tender heart in a blender watch it spin around to a beautiful oblivion, rendezvous then I'm through with you.
  • Even "On The Roof Again", even if the breakup was for very good reasons:
  Your heinous Highness broke her hymen, hey man try and quit your crying, I know she broke your heart but to calm try to calm down.
• Double Entendre: From "BFGF"
  She's doing what she does best
  Sweating in the back of a Cutlass
  Here she comes!
• Fiery Redhead: Max
• The Four Chords of Pop: "Think Twice."
• Gratuitous French: Lampshaded in "BFGF"
  She says "c'est la vie." Not sure what that means.
• I Need a Freaking Drink: The singer in "Victoria"
  I need another tequila!
• Incredibly Lame Pun: From "Promise"
  Why you gotta keep the fan on high when it's cold outside? Just want to let you know I'm still a fan, get it?
  • From "Anytime", "Kiss your apocalips for the last last time."
• Lead Bassist: Type B: Max Collins is the lead singer and he's the bassist. Also edging into Type C by making the band's twitter rather fun to read.
• Non-Appearing Title: "Leech", "Showerhead", "Tongue Tied" and "Nocturnal".
• One-Woman Song: "Victoria"
• Post-Grunge: Ur-Example. They were the first band to record a more polished version of the grunge sound with slicker production and more radio-friendly hooks. During their hiatus, some of the members even produced tracks for similar bands like Puddle of Mudd.
• Self-Titled Album
• Shout-Out: The line "Despite all my rage, I'm just a rat in a cage" appears in "Curtain", and "The future is so bright, you're wearing shades" in "Lion's Den".
• Shower of Love: The premise of the song "Showerhead".
• This Is a Song: "This is an open road song."
