James Maxwell Stuart Collins III (born August 28, 1978) is the lead singer and bass guitarist of Eve 6. He authored most of the band's songs. He met lead guitarist Jon Siebels in high school, and the two formed a band. In May of 2003, Collins was arrested for indecent exposure around the time the band was prepping for its third album, It's All in Your Head. [1] Subsequent to poor sales of Its All In Your Head (192,000 Units Moved), Eve 6 was released from their recording contract and disbanded.

From mid 2004-May 2005, Collins performed in a band under the name Brotherhood of Lost Dogs with the drummer from Fountains of Wayne, Brian Young and bassist Joe "Bass" Howard formerly of The Posies. They played live shows in the Los Angeles area and never released any recorded material.

As of June, 2005, Collins began a new project, The Sugi Tap, with former band member in Eve 6, Tony Fagenson. In October 2007 The Sugi Tap was put on hold "indefinitely".

The band has also released an EP, available at http://www.thesugitap.com/.

As of October, 2007, Eve 6 has officially stated that they are returning with Max Collins as the vocalist/bass and Tony Fagensen as drummer, Jon Siebels will not be returning.
