Vonray was an alternative rock band from Orlando, Florida.
 The group formed around singer/songwriter Vaughan Rhea, originally from Tennessee, who had come to Orlando playing as an acoustic coffee shop act.
 Inspired by grunge music, Rhea put together a band with his brother, Dave, and began playing somewhat harder sounding tunes, though still acoustic-based.
 Soon after, the band was opening for Third Eye Blind and Seven Mary Three, among other national acts, and released an independent debut album, "Panes", as VonRa in 1997.
 A second independent album release, "VonRa", followed in 1999, and a third, "Fame", came in 2001.
Red Star is a digital-only EP by Third Eye Blind released in 2008 in anticipation of their fourth studio album "Ursa Major".
 Previews of the songs on the EP were posted to the band's myspace page on November 12, 2008, and it was released officially on November 18, 2008 through all major digital music outlets.
 Also released with the EP was a music video for "Non-Dairy Creamer" featuring Third Eye Blind's recent Japan tour.

 The band released their self-titled album, "Third Eye Blind", in 1997, with the band largely consisting of Jenkins (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Cadogan (lead guitar), Arion Salazar (bass guitar), and Brad Hargreaves (drums).
 Shortly after the release of the band's second album in 1999, "Blue", with the same line-up, Cadogan was released from the band under controversial circumstances.

 It consists of lead vocalist and keyboardist Danny O'Donoghue, lead guitarist Mark Sheehan, and drummer Glen Power.
 The band moved to London after signing to Sony Label Group imprint Phonogenic and released its eponymous début album, "The Script", in August 2008, preceded by the successful singles "The Man Who Can't Be Moved" and "Breakeven".
 The album peaked at number one in both Ireland and the UK.
 Their next three albums, "Science & Faith" (2010), "#3" (2012) and "No Sound Without Silence" (2014), all topped the album charts in Ireland and the UK, while "Science & Faith" reached number three in the US.
 Hit singles from the albums include "For the First Time", "Nothing", "Hall of Fame" and "Superheroes".

Kevin Rene Cadogan (born August 14, 1970) is an American singer/songwriter, producer and rock guitarist.
 A founding member of the band Third Eye Blind, he performed with the band from 1993 to 2000.
 He co-wrote some of Third Eye Blind's most notable hits, including "How's It Going to Be", "Losing a Whole Year", and "Graduate", and 10 of the 14 songs on their debut album "Third Eye Blind".
Out of the Vein is the third studio album by American rock band Third Eye Blind.
 Released on May 13, 2003, "Out of the Vein" is the band's first album with guitarist Tony Fredianelli, who replaced longtime guitarist Kevin Cadogan in 2000.
 It would also be Third Eye Blind's final album with Elektra Records.
Blue is the second studio album by American rock band Third Eye Blind, released on November 23, 1999.
 The album's creation was difficult, namely due to power struggles and arguments between frontman Stephan Jenkins and lead guitarist Kevin Cadogan, leading to a quick but isolated recording experience between members.
 The album was generally well received by critics, and was certified platinum by the RIAA, but performed below the band's prior album, the multi-platinum "Third Eye Blind".
 While managing to stay together for the creation of the album, shortly after its release, the band fired Cadogan, touring in support of the album with replacement guitarist Tony Fredianelli.
 As such, the album was the last to feature Cadogan, and the last to be released without significant gaps and delays prior to release.
