Like many teenage rockers of the late '90s,
Eve 6 gets by on brash attitude as much as musical skills. That's not to say that the Los Angeles trio isn't talented or ambitious; far from it, as a matter of fact. The group's sound is based in nervy
punk-pop, but it has strong '70s
hard rock underpinnings, and the harmony vocals of
Jon Siebels and
Max Collins exhibit a good
pop sense. Often, the trio can pull it all together and come up with infectious
pop gems. Almost as often, they get close to their goal, but fail to find the right hook to push them over the edge; they're not the accomplished
pop songwriters that, say,
Ash were at a similar age. Still, the songs that work are pretty impressive, and
Eve 6 shows enormous potential for a debut, especially when the trio's age is factored into account.
