Where do you go next if you get a contract with a major label while you’re still in high school and your first pair of albums go platinum and gold, respectively? Well, if you’re Southern California trio Eve 6, you grow. Generally labeled a punk-pop act, “It’s All in Your Head” belies that description, shooting off as it does in all directions. Sure, the opening track “Without You Here” and the riff-driven blazer “Still Here Waiting” fit the punk-pop bill, but then there’s the Celtic folk textures of “Hey Montana,” the soft-loud “Bring the Night On,” the strings-embellished “Girlfriend” and the tough metal grunt of “Hokis.” Meanwhile, the bop-and-blare lead single, “Think Twice,” has already proved to be radio-friendly. Maturity is definitely in play here—this is an album born of patience and an acute sense of craft.—AZ
