The band has continued to have gained artistic clarification-and, surprisingly, a fanbase that is larger, younger and more dedicated than ever. Third Eye Blind’s 2021 album Our Bande Apart was recorded when lockdown ended, with Bethany Cosentino of Best Coast and Ryan Olson of Poliça. Led by Stephan Jenkins, 3EB has earned worldwide success during a tumultuous group of years when the major-label recording industry was finally losing its grip on an enterprise that for decades it had dominated with steely efficiency.
Since 1997, San Francisco's Third Eye Blind has recorded five best-selling albums and assembled one career retrospective.
