With their 1997 debut album, Third Eye Blind went from upstart band to chart topping success, garnering a tremendous fan base, scoring five
hit singles and surpassing quadruple-platinum status. They return with Blue, their explosive, highly anticipated follow-up, jammed with the same
affecting rock songcraft that's established them as a major act on the front line of modern rock.
By reeling off some of the most anthemic songs of 1997, 1998 and into 1999, including Semi-Charmed Life, Graduate, How's It Going To Be,
Losing A Whole Year and Jumper, this San Francisco quartet remained on the BillboardTop Albums chart for well over a year.
Songwriter/guitarist and frontman Stephan Jenkins writes from what he calls a very real place where there is darkness, but also reconciliation.
On Blue, the guitar-fueled energy and the hybrid emotions of Jenkins' vocals cradle the imagery and intellect of the songs. Like their debut, Blue
is packed tight with radio pleasers, though this release finds the band playing with more urgency without sacrificing melody or subtlety.
Highlights include the roaring punk rocker Anything, the gloriously appealing pop track, Never Let You Go and the wrenching Deep Inside Of
You. In support of their debut album, Third Eye Blind landed tours with U2 and Rolling Stones, and headlined some major arenas on their own.
They will be touring across the globe through the better part of 2000.
Blue was produced by Stephan Jenkins and Third Eye Blind.
