Coming from San Francisco hasn't changed the way this band feels about music. Their first album selt titled Third Eye Blind has brought four hit singles "Semi-Charmed Life," "Graduate," "Losing A Whole Year" and "How's It Gonna Be." Frontman Stephan Jenkins goes on to talk about "Semi-Charmed Life" "I think it's a first. We have the first No. 1 single about speed addicts ever. We didn't think it would be played on the radio at all."
1999 saw Third Eye Blind with a sophomore album Blue, a more controversial album. Songs such as "Slow Motion" and "Wounded" are in the medias eyes, taboo to sing about. Although "Slow Motion" was written in 1994, it was at this point and time adivsed by their label not to release it, since it was close after the Columbine shootings. "Slow Motion" as well as seven other unreleased songs will be released on a separate album under their own label in the near future.
