The band would again turn to extensive touring in the following years. In addition to Jenkins, Hargreaves, and newly recruited guitarist Reid, the band stopped relying on temporary studio and touring support for bass playing, and hiring a new permanent bassist, Alex LeCavalier. Additionally, for the first time, a fifth official member, Alex Kopp, was brought on as a dedicated keyboardist.[87] Work on a fifth album continued, with earliest reports showing plans for a 2011 release, but writer's block continued to hamper Jenkins ability to complete lyrics for songs.[88][86] The only newly recorded studio music the band would release for years was the impromptu-written "If There Ever Was a Time" song released in support of the Occupy Wall Street movement in November 2011.[89] Moving into 2012, with writer's block continuing to hinder the process, Jenkins would begin to advertise the album as the band's last, feeling that the volume and structure of the album format was what made the writing process difficult for him.[86] By the end of the year, the band did a short tour in India to help inspire the writing process; the band was far enough along to announce they were shooting a music video for a track.[90] However, the album's release continued to be delayed from 2013[91] to 2014[92] to 2015.[93] Writer's block continued to be cited as the reason by Jenkins,[94] though Hargreaves also noted that their past successes had afforded them the luxury of taking their time on material without having to rush it because of financial matters.[95] In May 2015, the band announced that their fifth studio album was finally completed, and on June 16, almost six years after their last album, the album, titled, Dopamine was released.[95][96] The album debuted at No. 13 on the Billboard 200,[97] selling just over 21,000 copies in its first week.[97][98] Two singles were released - "Everything Is Easy" and "Get Me Out of Here"[99] A non-album cover of Beyoncé song "Mine" was also released to promote the album after live performances of the song received a warm reception in the touring leading up to the album's release.[95][100] We Are Drugs and Screamer: 2016–2019[edit] Third Eye Blind performing at the House of Blues in Orlando in October 2017 Following the release of Dopamine, the lineup of Jenkins, Hargreaves, Reid, LeCavelier, and Kopp experienced an increase in productivity not seen since the late 1990s. Jenkins announced plans for releasing an EP in 2016.[101] On July 19, 2016, they played a benefit concert for "Musicians on Call", a charity organization, in close proximity to the Republican National Convention.[102] The band took the opportunity to speak out against the Republican Party, criticizing their views on science and LGBT rights, and playing tracks specifically critical of their stances, including "Jumper", and "Non-Dairy Creamer".[102] The stunt received national coverage, and inspired the band to move forward with material.[102] The EP, the seven track We Are Drugs, was released on October 7, 2016, just 16 months after the release of Dopamine.[103] One single, the politically themed "Cop Vs. Phone Girl", was released from the EP.[104] Jenkins announced next plans to be releasing another EP titled Summer Gods in 2017 to coincide with a tour of the same name.[105] With the EP not ready for release by the end of the tour, the idea was scrapped and the name was instead assigned to a live album release of performances from the tour.[106] Some new music was still released in the year though, in the form of the 20th anniversary release of their debut album. Newly recorded versions of old songs from the sessions were released, including a finalized version of the 1993 song "Alright Caroline". In June 2018, another EP was released - a collection of seven cover songs titled Thanks for Everything.[107] Jenkins stated that the act of reinterpreting the cover songs of various genres inspired the band to create another full studio album in the process.[108] Initially announced as another EP in late 2018, the project bloomed into the band's sixth studio album in 2019.[109][110] The band continued to tour into 2019, including a major co-headlining North American tour with Jimmy Eat World from June to August, called Summer Gods Tour 2019.[111] Prior to the tour, Kopp announced he was leaving the band to pursue other projects,[112] He was replaced by Colin Creev. On October 18, 2019, the band released their sixth studio album, Screamer.[113] Our Bande Apart and eighth studio album: 2020–present[edit] After releasing their sixth studio album Screamer, in October 2019, the band was able to complete the first leg of the tour supporting it, but was forced to cancel the second leg of it in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic—the first time the band had to cancel a tour in 22 years according to Jenkins.[114] The band instead performed live online streaming performances,[115] and largely turned to writing more new music instead.[116] Jenkins began writing in solitude during the initial wave of lockdowns, and began recording with the rest of the band as soon as the lockdowns ended.[117] On July 30, 2021, the band announced their seventh studio album, Our Bande Apart, would be released on September 24, 2021, and released the first single from it, "Box of Bones".[118] A second song, "Again", was released ahead of the album on August 20, featuring Best Coast singer Bethany Cosentino.[119] The band was able to tour again, in support of the album, in 2022, with a North American tour with Taking Back Sunday and Hockey Dad.[120][121][122] They also released an acoustic album, Unplugged in June 2022.[123] Jenkins described it as "just basically any song that [he] wanted another try at."[124][125] The band put on another North American tour across March and April 2023 as well.[126] In early 2024, a new iteration of the "Summer Gods" tour was announced, with the band touring with Yellowcard from June to August 2024.[127] Jenkin's also noted in March that the band was working on a new studio album, and that they wished to release new music prior to the tour, though he wasn't sure the whole album would be ready for release by then.[127] New music did not release prior to the tour; Hargreaves noted that 4 to 6 songs were largely recorded since 2022, but still required Jenkins to finish writing and recording lyrics and vocals.[128] Musical style and influences[edit] Third Eye Blind's musical style has been described as pop rock,[129][130][131] alternative rock,[99][132] post-grunge,[133] pop punk,[134] and power pop.[135] Jenkins noted that he was influenced by The Clash, Jane's Addiction, and Camper Van Beethoven.[136] Hargreaves stated that his drumming style was influenced by the Ohio Players and James Brown.[136] Members[edit] .mw-parser-output .col-begin{border-collapse:collapse;padding:0;color:inherit;width:100%;border:0;margin:0}.mw-parser-output .col-begin-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .col-break{vertical-align:top;text-align:left}.mw-parser-output .col-break-2{width:50%}.mw-parser-output .col-break-3{width:33.3%}.mw-parser-output .col-break-4{width:25%}.mw-parser-output .col-break-5{width:20%}@media(max-width:720px){.mw-parser-output .col-begin,.mw-parser-output .col-begin>tbody,.mw-parser-output .col-begin>tbody>tr,.mw-parser-output .col-begin>tbody>tr>td{display:block!important;width:100%!important}.mw-parser-output .col-break{padding-left:0!important}} Current members Stephan Jenkins – lead vocals, guitar (1993–present) Brad Hargreaves – drums, percussion (1995–present) Kryz Reid – guitar (2010–present) Alex LeCavalier – bass (2013–present) Colin Creev – keyboards, guitar (2019–present) Former members Kevin Cadogan – guitar, backing vocals, keyboards (1993–2000) Jason Slater – bass, backing vocals (1993–1994;
