Like some other famous frontmen, including Soundgarden’s Chris Cornell and White Stripes’ Jack White, Stephan Jenkins started out as a drummer. These roots shaped the sound and success of his band, Third Eye Blind.
That kind of vocal groove makes Third Eye Blind rockers like “Again,” a standout from the band’s most recent studio album, 2021′s “Our Bande Apart,” extra adhesive. Jenkins is talking with me because Third Eye Blind is set to return to the road with a tour that opens March 10 in New Orleans and will take them through the South, East and West. Asked about his favorite Southern music, he cites classic Muscle Shoals R&B. Jenkins thinks the 2013 “Muscle Shoals” documentary film, “might be the best music documentary ever made, because people didn’t really know that the funkiest people on Earth were these [white guys] from Alabama.
Since Third Eye Blind released one of the ‘90s’ best debut albums , at the height of the CD sales era, they’ll always have an audience. Many people came of age to that debut, which meshed alt-rock, power-pop and rap for a sound that while sleek always kept a foot on the pavement. Instinctual vocals combined with well-crafted arrangements. This aesthetic helped “Third Eye Blind” move more than six million copies.
Jenkins wrote most of the debut, including “Semi-Charmed Life,” in the bedroom of his Haight Street place back then. “I just kind of sat there in front of a bay window in this open Victorian flat,” Jenkins says, “and worked through it.”
