Synopsis

Eve 6 perform "Leech" inside a busy police station, where the band members play amid officers, paperwork, and the routine processing of detainees. The video opens with Max Collins and a young woman being photographed for police records, establishing a comic crime-story setting. As the performance continues, the station becomes an increasingly chaotic stage, with police personnel taking reports and carrying on their work around the musicians. The deadpan law-enforcement backdrop contrasts with the song's confrontational tone.

Factoids & Trivia

  • The video is generally dated to 1999, while "Leech" first appeared on Eve 6's self-titled debut album, released by RCA on April 28, 1998.
  • "Leech" followed "Inside Out" as one of the major singles from the band's debut era. MTV exposure for both videos helped the album reach platinum status.
  • The video's police-station setting gives the song a visual framework built around accusation, official records, and interrogation without turning the clip into a conventional narrative short.
  • A 1999 RCA promotional advertisement described "Leech" as the number one most-added track at both Rock and Modern Rock radio, and listed it among the era's strongest-performing rock tracks.
  • The clip runs for approximately five minutes and features all three members of the original breakthrough lineup: Max Collins, Jon Siebels, and Tony Fagenson.

Lyrics

Tell those stories to me
I'm dying to hear
The things you've done and seen
Farfetched as they may be

You strike a smile at me
Your stories ring of purgery
Construed with self empowering theme

Suckin' on my brain
You're the teacher I'm the student
Turning things around
Your story's not congruent
