Third Eye Blind formed in San Francisco in 1993 and went through years of lineup changes before the songwriting pair of Stephan Jenkins and Kevin Cadogan landed a deal with Elektra in 1996. The self-titled debut came in 1997, with Jenkins singing and playing rhythm guitar, Cadogan on lead guitar, Arion Salazar on bass and Brad Hargreaves on drums, and it was pure sugar rush: bright, bouncing guitar pop, Jenkins' rapid-fire, half-spoken verses and choruses that stick like taffy.

"Semi-Charmed Life", "Jumper" and "How's It Going to Be" all went top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, "Graduate" and "Losing a Whole Year" filled out the story, and the album went 6 times platinum. Blue followed in 1999 with the same lineup and went platinum, with "Never Let You Go" reaching the top 20 and "Anything" and "10 Days Late" alongside it. Shortly after it came out, Cadogan was let go, in circumstances that stirred up controversy.

The years after brought plenty of turnover and long waits between records. Out of the Vein came in 2003 and Ursa Major in 2009, both with guitarist Tony Fredianelli, but he was gone soon after, leaving Jenkins and Hargreaves as the core. By the mid-2010s the lineup had steadied again with Kryz Reid on lead guitar, Alex Kopp on keyboards and Alex LeCavalier on bass, and the pace picked up: Dopamine in 2015, the EPs We Are Drugs and Thanks for Everything in 2016 and 2018, then, with Colin Creev in for Kopp, Screamer in 2019 and Our Bande Apart in 2021.

They have sold around 12 million records worldwide, and on the countdowns "Semi-Charmed Life" still spins the brightest.
