Third Eye Blind is an American alternative rock band formed in the early 1990s in San Francisco. The songwriting duo of Stephan Jenkins and Kevin Cadogan signed the band's first major label recording contract with Elektra records in 1996 resulting in two multi platinum albums. The band's lineup changed in 2000, ending the songwriting partnership of Cadogan and Jenkins. The band's current line-up is Stephan Jenkins (vocals, guitar) and Brad Hargreaves (drums, percussion). Guitarist Kryz Reid and bassist Abe Millett have replaced the departed Tony Fredianelli and Arion Salazar respectively.

After the success of their eponymous debut album in 1997, the band released one more album, 1999's Blue, before guitarist Kevin Cadogan was released under controversial circumstances. In 2003, the band released Out of the Vein.

In 2008, the band released the digital EP Red Star. After a six-year hiatus from releasing a full-length album, Ursa Major was released on August 17, 2009.

A fifth album is also being worked on, without a tentative release date. The band is best known for the singles "Semi-Charmed Life", "How's It Going to Be", "Graduate", "Jumper", "Never Let You Go" and "Deep Inside of You".

Third Eye Blind has sold over 10 million copies worldwide.
