not being a fan of either band, I think the Eve 6 guy is the one who comes off looking dopey here (does Jenkins even gaf? has he said anything?)

I have no clue what the Eve 6 guy was like before this, in fact I know nothing about them at allIMO, that’s why this doesn’t even generate the same interest as, say, when the Smash Mouth guy occasionally tweets something that gets traction... Eve 6 is just a band name to me, so seeing them go all Try-Hard Twitter Engagement™ feels particularly shrug-worthy (tho I guess the “standard tuning” tweet is clever).

Fuck, I forgot about "Here's To The Night" (which was beaten out for senior song by "Good Riddance").
A girl who liked me complimented me by saying I looked like the singer for Eve 6 (I did not) - ran into her a decade later and she was amazed that I didn't pick up on that as her flirting with me.

xp
I think I can visualize the video - lots of motion stopped camera work where the singer starts moving when everyone is frozen (or vice versa)?
Not really - it’s the dude creepily videotaping a girl at a high school party (interspersed with shots of him singing earnestly to the camera)

The album's first single, "Think Twice," is a hard-rocking angst anthem about struggling for the courage to leave an unfaithful lover. "Think twice before you touch my girl," Max Collins sings in the chorus. "Come around/ I'll let you feel the burn."

(the lifehouse song i love is "spin," i even like the record it comes from)
I mean this is basically the era of "Songs that would occupy Mix CDs made by Teenaged Me, because I wasn't going to actually bother and purchase the entire album for one good song, and I was desperately trying to get into popular music but had no interest in Boy Bands, Rap, or Nu Metal". And over the span of several CDs, I ended up having FOUR separate Eve 6 songs on them!

Lifehouse always had secret "we formed in our church's youth group" vibes to me, but maybe it's because the singer reminded me of a kid from my church.

formative moment for 12 year old me: after months of listening to hanging by a moment on WHFS in that monumental summer of 2001 (nickelback's first hit! sum 41! alien ant farm! staind!
