Coral follows Jared Followill of Kings of Leon on twitter. She noticed that he is always tweeting at his bro Nick Brown. Coral thinks, “isn’t that neat.”
Turns out Nick is in a band called Mona. And they play their song on Alt Nation.
Lots of buzz stareting to swell as they did the whole… debut in the UK first, then come back to America and release their record here… thing. Isn’t that similar to Kings of Leon? a little maybe. They sure do sound like KOL. Maybe you’ll like this song if you like KOL.

I love Eve 6. Back in the late 90s I was into their debut album. Simply titled, Eve 6. I then was all over Horrorscope. They used to be my walking jams. I particually remember listening to these CDs in my Discman while trolling Commercial Drive in the summer of 2002. They had a good pace.
I moved to Victoria in 2003 and that summer… Its All In Your Head came out and “Think Twice” lived on the Zone for awhile. Soon after… there just wasn’t a lot of mainstream interest and the band kind of fizzled out. I don’t really know the story… maybe I should interview them. They went away.
Briefly tried to re-form in 2007… still nothing. Then the classic power-trio reformed and here we are. New music, new record label and new album in April called Speak in Code.
New Eve 6 finds the band back in familiar territory. Power pop. Traditionally, I am not always a fan of reunion bands. They don’t always craft the best of songs. They tend to lack some punch. This new song… aside from Max’s voice sounding a bit different… reminds me (in a positive way) of the older Eve 6, but with more a sophisticated lyrical story.
I ripped a stream for you… but if you like it and want a higher quality, the single is available on iTunes for $1.29 or whatever.
