The 14-track album is an emotionally charged rock collection that came to life in a studio the foursome literally built themselves in their hometown of San Francisco. “Out of the Vein” is the follow-up to the band’s 1999 album “Blue,” which spawned the single “Never Let You Go,” Third Eye Blind’s 1997 self-titled debut, spawned the rock-radio staples “Semi-Charmed Life” and “Jumper.” Those albums have respectively sold 1.25 million and 3.5 million copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan. Directed by singer Stephan Jenkins, it offers a slice-of-life view into Third Eye Blind’s activities in the studio and on the road.
The DVD is packaged with the initial pressing of their new CD “Out of the Vein,” released May 13 by Elektra. “The gift that’s been given to me is that people view my music as enlivening them.After enduring a four-year wait between recordings, the patience of Third Eye Blind loyalists will be rewarded with a limited-edition DVD that aims to explain what the band has been up to. “It’s an incredible feeling to be in a good rock band,” adds Jenkins. (Third Eye Blind has offset the tour’s carbon footprint by donating a portion of each ticket sold to a US-based carbon offset project managed by ClimeCo.) The biggest tour in the band’s history will wrap August 3 in Irvine, CA with Jimmy Eat World and Ra Ra Riot.
Going strong for over two decades, Third Eye Blind have broken their own attendance records with 2019’s Summer Gods tour. “We have always been so insular,” says Jenkins, “and on Screamer we adopted an open door policy - come in, be musical, and follow the song where it takes us.” “I seek to combine it with a percussive level of musical immediacy in this collection of songs to cultivate collective idealism and an unapologetic aspiration towards humanistic values.” “My current mood resonates with rebellion, energy, courage, and risk,” says Stephan Jenkins, on Third Eye Blind’s sixth full length album, Screamer (October 18). The follow up to 2018’s EP Thanks for Everything, Screamer finds Third Eye Blind collaborating with Alexis Krauss of Sleigh Bells (“Screamer”), Ryan Olson of Marijuana Death Squad and Poliça (“Who Am I” and “Got So High”), and the album’s musical consigliere, Billy Corgan.
