Comprising two ex-<a href="spotify:artist:5sD1ZLf2dGQ9gQ3YJl1eAd">Blind Melon</a> members (bassist <a href="spotify:artist:2lAnrodzRIl5vfxvlNrJ4D">Brad Smith</a> and guitarist Christopher Thorn), one ex-<a href="spotify:artist:1w5Kfo2jwwIPruYS2UWh56">Pearl Jam</a> member (drummer Dave Krusen), and newcomer Chris Shinn on vocals/guitar, Unified Theory began to take shape in 1998. After a plan to carry on <a href="spotify:artist:5sD1ZLf2dGQ9gQ3YJl1eAd">Blind Melon</a> with a new singer and a different name didn't pan out, <a href="spotify:artist:2lAnrodzRIl5vfxvlNrJ4D">Smith</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:20GkA5r78JwVBtZ4tNtriJ">Thorn</a> began forming a new band. <a href="spotify:artist:20GkA5r78JwVBtZ4tNtriJ">Thorn</a> came across Shinn after moving to L.A. to scout vocalists, while Krusen proved to be a logical choice since he was already friends with the others. The band was first called Luma (issuing a four-track CD through their website in 1999), but by the time they signed to the <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Universal%22">Universal</a> subsidiary <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%223%3A33%22">3:33</a> later in the year, the quartet's name was changed to Unified Theory, named after the theory Einstein was working on when he died. The band issued its self-titled debut in August 2000, followed by the independent release of sophomore outing Cinematic as a download-only album in 2008. ~ Greg Prato, Rovi
