Editing Eve 6 (section)

=== Reunion (2007–2012) ===
On October 1, 2007, after performing for over a year as The Sugi Tap, it was leaked that a newly reunited Eve 6 including Collins, Fagenson, and new guitarist [[Matthew Koma|Matt Bair]] would be going on tour. The Sugi Tap, as a result, was put on indefinite hiatus.

Collins and Fagenson played extensively as Eve 6 starting in 2008, with Bair temporarily replacing Siebels who was occupied with his project [[Monsters Are Waiting]]. The band spent the next three years touring, writing, and reconnecting with fans before signing with [[Fearless Records]] in 2011. A month within inking the deal, Collins and Fagenson finally convinced Siebels to return to the band. "After going down some different paths it hit me that there was this thing out there that people wanted and wanted to hear," explains Siebels. "It just clicked and made sense to me.  After such a long break I was so happy to be playing with these guys again." Fagenson continues, "The way [Siebels] hits the strings and puts that muscle into the chords is very distinctive to our band, and that was a welcome piece of the sound that we had missed. Songs that had been kicking around for a couple years got new life with his playing put into them."

Eve 6 then re-enlisted Don Gilmore<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/don-gilmore-mn0000798368|title=Don Gilmore &#124; Credits|website=AllMusic}}</ref> ([[Linkin Park]], [[Dashboard Confessional]], [[Good Charlotte]])—who produced the first two Eve 6 albums—to helm the sessions for ''[[Speak in Code]]''. The album contains a mix of compositions that began as far back as the side project, as well as recent works written in the months leading up to the recording process.  "We were really taking a 'best of everything' sort of approach, almost like a band's first album, in which there's a lot of material to choose from," Fagenson notes. "About half the songs were standouts from what Max and I had been working on and demoing over the years, and the other half were newer ideas that came with the inspiration of Jon's return and all that was happening to us at the time.  We have a unique process, where each song is sort of its own animal. Don was crucial in helping us tighten everything up, and inspiring Max to dig really deep lyrically and get to some root emotion down there."  Collins explains, "[[Neil Finn]] [of Crowded House] once said, 'A great producer is someone whom you admire musically and otherwise, who you feel compelled to show up and show off for.' I feel like Don is that figure for me and the band."
