Even though their first of two new albums is just over a month away from release, Third Eye Blind guitarist Tony Fredianelli says the band has no plans to release a single to radio, outside of the success that the band has already seen with the song "Non-Dairy Creamer."

"Since we saw alternative (radio) really gravitate to the song ‘Non Dairy Creamer' without any real work, we're going to just stay there for a minute," Fredianelli said according to Billboard.com. "Sure we have a couple of pop songs that could put that back in gear for us, but I don't know if we really even need that. We're touring nowadays doing 3,000 to 5,000 people without even trying."

It seems as though the band isn't looking for huge commercial success, and just plans to take the grassroutes approach to this release.

"I know it's great to have big media success and all of that stuff, and walking all of the red carpets and all of that crap, but it's really not necessary," Fredianelli explained.  "It's all about the music really. And our fans have not left us. They know all of the records, they know the third record just as well as the first record. So touring has actually gotten better as far as our attendance. It's just really bizarre."

It sounds like in some ways the band come full circle from their early days, to their huge commercial success, and now back to where they started.

"What it showed us is all of the work we've been doing over the last five years, touring colleges and becoming one of the most requested bands at colleges on the East Coast, has kind of brought us back our initial alternative fan base, because Elektra Records had kind of squandered that by going for all of the big money," Fredianelli says. "It was the bread versus cred thing, but it's kind of an amazing resurgence we're seeing. It's really kind of inspiring."

As previously reported, Third Eye Blind will release two new albums in 2009, the first Ursa Major is due out June 23rd on Sony Music.
