About Third Eye Blind
Third Eye Blind formed in San Francisco in 1993 around singer Stephan Jenkins. The band combined melodic pop-rock writing with the sound of 1990s alternative rock, building an audience through Bay Area performances. Its 1997 self-titled debut included Semi-Charmed Life, How's It Going to Be and Jumper. Blue and Out of the Vein extended that recording career into subsequent years.
