They're moody and sophisticated and combine aspects of my favorite bands like the Pixies, Nirvana, and the Smiths all into one. One of my most favorite bands, the Oohlas, are signed to this label. You wouldn't be caught dead at one of their shows, you wouldn't be caught dead with one of their cds, and you wouldn't even have to worry about any of that because it was all on a different plane.įast forward nearly 10 years and I've got a record label. They were a band you expected to hear on the radio, but basically didn't give a fuck about beyond that. whatever "do do do" that Stephen Jenkins sang about in 3EB? To me, and lots of other people of the same age group I was in, a band like 3EB et al were a joke. How could you possibly compare the despair of isolation that Morrissey sang about to the. I just felt like they didn't speak to me, were cheesy, and just on this whole different level of music that didn't penetrate the surface. It wasn't so much that they were on the radio. I didn't really care too much for those bands because they were radio bands that I felt had no substance. On the radio during this time were bands like Third Eye Blind, Everclear, Matchbox20, Cake, Lit, Bush, Gin Blossoms, Deep Blue Something, etc. I basically didn't have that many friends because my parents were strict and didn't let me do social activities after school that weren't transcript/resume boosters (granted, I got so drunk once when I was 15 that I puked for 24 hours straight and so I was grounded for life) - so those musicians were my friends when my friends were out doing fun shit. There were only a handful of musicians that spoke to me the same way that Morrissey did/does, and those musicians were Courtney Love, Kurt Cobain, Thom Yorke, Beck (weird, i know), Ian Curtis (not til my early 20s), and Brian Molko. Sure, they were from my older brothers' generation, but Moz spoke to me as I wanted my best friend to. When I was in my teens/20s, The Smiths were one of the most important bands of my life. Threads about Third Eye Blind on .ĮDIT: The response that kids are having on about this blog.
Here's evidence so yo know I'm not lying:
I am comparing their importance to kids in their early 20s/late teens, to when I was in my teens/20s. A "for fans of" is tough with these guys because whether you're into Wheatus, Oasis, Red Hot Chili Peppers or more modern bands like Peace and Nothing but Thieves, there is something you will like about Third Eye Blind.For the record: I am not comparing Third Eye Blind to the Smiths, per se. Having been active for over two decades this is a band that encorporates elements of indie, pop-rock and post-grunge and who've had top 10 singles like Semi-Charmed Life, Jumper and How's It Going To Be. rockers Third Eye Blind visit Kingston the day after their headline show at The Forum!
