(1999 – present)

In April 2008 The Pineapple Thief launched the Kscope label with the critically acclaimed album, Tightly Unwound.

Initially a solo outlet for Bruce’s music the first album, Abducting, was released on Cyclops Records in May 1999. The critical plaudits and small but fanatical fan base that grew around the release was enough to convince Bruce that perhaps TPT was here to stay and he returned to the Dining Room studios to work on the second TPT album, 137.

Following the reaction to its release in the spring of 2002 and the growing demand from fans for live shows, Bruce felt the need to expand TPT to a full band. The band consisted of his close musical friends – former university band mate Jon Sykes on bass, Wayne Higgins on guitars, Matt O’Leary on keyboards and Keith Harrison on drums. Wayne and Matt have since left but Steve Kitch (who co-produced and mixed the albums since 10 Stories Down) has joined to replace Matt and play the keyboards.

The third album, Variations On A Dream (2004) gave TPT a further boost, reaching out to yet more people all over the world. Three albums followed, 10 Stories Down (2005), Little Man (2006), and limited the run What We Have Sown (2007) which featured re-worked un-released tracks. This was to prove to be the last album released via Cyclops before the band signed to Kscope and released Tightly Unwound. This was followed by The Dawn Raids EPs and 3000 Days, a 2CD re-mixed and re-mastered collection of songs from their ten year history so far.

    All about song structures, instrumentation etc. Luckily for us, privileged listeners, Bruce is a master at it, so it never feels forced or disjointed. It most definatley does have prog tendencies though.

    I like their sound but I would never tag this as prog, at all. Someone explain to me why this is tagged in so many ways as "progressive"???

    Part two of my message below: SW already writing third solo album, no PT plans for now, Gavin Harrison plays the drums on the Storm Corrosion project (but not much). See www.starsdie.com

    To all Porcupine Tree/Opeth fans: both frontmen have a project called Storm Corrosion, released in April - no drums, 6 songs, over 60 minutes, very prog - check out the new infos: http://starsdie.com/wp/mikael-akerfeldt-talks-about-storm-corrosion/

    I don't actually think there is a band that does epic ending tracks better than TPT.
