Eve 6 makes songs people like. Eve 6 likes their own songs. Eve 6 likes songs from other musicians usually even more. But sometimes Eve 6's favorite songs are Eve 6 songs. Eve 6's most well known song, "Inside Out", came out in the 90's, so some consider Eve 6 a 90s band. Now there's nothing wrong with the 90s. A fine decade to be sure. The Big Lebowski was released then. So were terrific albums by Green Day, Pete Droge, Depeche Mode, and Jawbreaker. But Eve 6 put out three albums between 1998-2003, the self-titled debut (1998), Horrorscope (2000), and It's All In Your Head (2003). Since most of their albums were released in the 2000s, Eve 6 only has two of it's six feet in the 90's. And yes, 6 feet=3 people, because Eve 6 is a trio. Max Collins and Jon Siebels started Eve 6 in a La Crescenta, CA high school in 1995. Tony Fagenson joined the following year. They went on to release lots of music, tour the world, and have a jolly old time. But even with hit singles and scores of super-excellent fans, life on the road took it's toll and the band decided to take an indefinite hiatus in the summer of 2004. The members pursued various other projects until Max and Tony reformed the band in late 2007. Jon opted out in order to spend time on his other band, Monsters Are Waiting, and production duties for other groups. The new Eve 6 toured extensively in 2008/2009, and is currently readying material for the next album, due some time in 2010. If Eve 6 were in a nutshell, that's what it would taste like.

A melting pot of infectious swaggering rock laced with Latin percussion and fiery live performances has made VALLEJO one of the most popular bands to hail from Austin, Texas.
“Vallejo melds a funky hard rock millennium style, with swiveling Latino rhythms and superfuzzy guitars. Vocals are surly and sleazy, adding a little dirt to the nearly pristine studio professionalism. There's no point in listening to this if you're not gonna turn it up to ten and free your hands for lots of air guitar/drumming flail.”

BHM is an instrumental band playing a high energy fusion
of styles from progressive rock to jazz. Their original
arrangements are interesting renditions of familiar classic
rock songs. “Our intention is to take songs that the
audience might recognize and give them a fresh and exiting
new listening experience,” says founder Russ Maddox.
With the talents of Landon Rogan on Bass, Richard Hsiung
on guitar, Brian McConnell on keyboards, and Maddox on
drums, BHM approaches some of the most challenging
material from popular bands like Boston, Styx, Kansas, and
Queen and gives the songs a new instrumental facelift in
the style of progressive fusion. “We hope the audience
leaves our shows feeling that they’ve just enjoyed a
musical experience that they’ve never had before.”
