College radio darlings-turned-major label powerhouse Third Eye Blind return after nearly six years for their long-awaited fourth album, URSA MAJOR. A potent blend of metal, punk, and '60s rock influences cut against guitarist Tony Fredianelli's and singer Stephen Jenkins' keen songwriting instincts, the album is a back-to-basic return to the group's core sound.
