Third Eye Blind 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, Cadogan, Arion Salazar, and Brad Hargreaves. 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, Alex Kopp, and Alex LeCavalier. The new lineup led to increased output with less time between releases - Dopamine, and a string of EPs, We Are Drugs and Thanks for Everything.
