Ursa Major by Third Eye Blind
Ursa Major is an album by Third Eye Blind, released in 2009. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 8 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Bonfire”, on 8 lists with a best position of #27.
Ursa Major, Third Eye Blind's fourth studio album, was their first in more than six years, and they put it out on their own label, Mega Collider, with "Don't Believe a Word" hitting radio in June 2009 as the opening shot. The San Francisco band was a different outfit by now: Stephan Jenkins singing and playing guitar, Brad Hargreaves on drums, guitarist Tony Fredianelli, and Abe Millet on bass and keys. It turned out to be Fredianelli's last album with them; the band parted ways with him soon after, leaving Jenkins and Hargreaves as the core.
The sound is still the bright, hook-stuffed alt-rock that made them a platinum act in the late 1990s, all rapid-fire verses and big sunlit choruses, and "Bonfire" shows the old spark hadn't gone out.
