About

Third Eye Blind (3EB) is an American rock band formed in San Francisco, California, in 1993. After years of lineup changes in the early and mid-1990s, the songwriting duo of Stephan Jenkins and Kevin Cadogan signed the band's first major-label recording contract with Elektra Records in 1996. The band released their self-titled debut album in 1997, with the band largely consisting of Jenkins (vocals, rhythm guitar), Cadogan (lead guitar), Arion Salazar (bass guitar), and Brad Hargreaves (drums). Shortly after the release of the band's second album in 1999, Blue, with the same lineup, Cadogan was released from the band under controversial circumstances.

The band continued, but with many lineup changes and long gaps between album releases for the next fifteen years. The band released Out of the Vein in 2003 and Ursa Major in 2009 with guitarist Tony Fredianelli, but parted ways with him shortly afterwards, leaving only Jenkins and Hargreaves as the remaining core members. The band's lineup stabilized again in the mid-2010s, adding Kryz Reid (lead guitar), Alex Kopp (keyboards), and Alex LeCavalier (bass guitar). The new lineup led to increased output with less time between releases - Dopamine (2015), and a string of EPs, We Are Drugs (2016) and Thanks for Everything (2018). After Kopp was replaced by Colin Creev, the sixth and seventh studio albums Screamer (2019) and Our Bande Apart (2021) were released.

The band found commercial success in the late 1990s, with Third Eye Blind and Blue certified platinum six times and single platinum in the United States, respectively. Several songs were commercial successes as well, with "Semi-Charmed Life", "Jumper", and "How's It Going to Be", all reaching the Top 10 of the US Billboard Hot 100, and "Never Let You Go" reaching the Top 20. Third Eye Blind has sold around twelve million records worldwide.

Third Eye Blind (souvent abrégé 3EB) est un groupe de rock alternatif américain, originaire de San Francisco, en Californie. Le duo composé de Stephan Jenkins et Kevin Cadogan signe le premier contrat du groupe avec la major Elektra Records en 1996, le mieux que puisse faire un groupe encore non signé à cette période. Le groupe publie son premier album, l'éponyme Third Eye Blind, en 1997, avec Jenkins (chant, guitare rythmique), Cadogan (guitare solo), Arion Salazar (basse), et Brad Hargreaves (batterie).

Le groupe trouve le succès à la fin des années 1990, grâce à Third Eye Blind et Blue qui seront certifiés six fois et une fois disque de platine aux États-Unis, respectivement.
