User:Neil Palfreyman/Bruce Soord

Bruce Soord Founded by Bruce Soord (formerly with Vulgar Unicorn), The Pineapple Thief started out as a solo outlet for his music. The debut 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.
