In recent years, the tale of Blind Melon has taken a dramatic turn -- from an abrupt and tragic end, to a rebirth and reconnection with their legion of fans. No matter how you slice it, the group was responsible for some of the most memorable and pure-sounding rock music of the '90s. And with their reformation in 2006 with singer Travis Warren, Blind Melon are poised to pick up exactly where they left off a decade earlier -- as evidenced by their new single, "Wishing Well," and forthcoming/as-yet-to-be-titled fourth full-length overall, due April 22, 2008.

Blind Melon originally formed in 1990 in Los Angeles, California, when five transplants from other states crossed paths - singer Shannon Hoon, guitarist Christopher Thorn, guitarist Rogers Stevens, bassist Brad Smith, and drummer Glen Graham. The group's now-classic self-titled debut followed in 1992. A year later, the song "No Rain" became a smash hit and Blind Melon became one of rock's feel-good 'overnight success stories, opening for acts such as Guns N' Roses, Neil Young, Lenny Kravitz, and the Rolling Stones, as well as giving an unforgettable appearance at Woodstock '94. Unfortunately, Hoon's drug addiction took a turn for the worse and just two months after the release of the group's 1995 sophomore release, "Soup," Hoon died of an overdose.

After failing to find a replacement for Hoon, the group officially went their separate ways in 1999. However, it was clear that there was still an unmistakable demand for the band. When Smith and Thorn were asked to produce a few tracks for Texas-based singer/songwriter, Warren -- who also happened to be a diehard Blind Melon fan -- it soon became apparent that they had finally located Blind Melon's new singer. With Stevens and Graham reclaiming their spots as well, Blind Melon was back in business. The reformed band spent most of 2007 writing and recording. But before issuing a new album, the group decided to introduce their newest member via a highly successful and completely sold out club tour in late 2007. If the strong response from fans at these shows is any indication, the group's 2008 tour and forthcoming new album will spread the word further. Without a doubt, Blind Melon is back.
