The Pineapple Thief is the musical vision of Bruce Soord, formerly with Vulgar Unicorn. He started TPT as an outlet for his music back in 1999.
In the spring of 2002, after the third album, Variations on a Dream, which was probably the album that gave TPT the boost they needed, reaching out to yet more people all over the world, Bruce decided to form a band to take his music to the fans. 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. Matt has since left but Steve Kitch (who co-produced and mixed the fourth album 10 Stories Down) has since joined to play keyboards. Wayne Higgins left the band in March 2008, but the group continues as a four-piece live act.
The first six albums were released on Cyclops records. In late 2007, the band were signed to Kscope Records who would later re-release their older albums.

Kscope is a London-based label specializing in the progressive genre of current music. Launched in 2008, it is a division of Snapper Music, one of the industry's most respected and influential independent labels.

With a focus on quality over quantity, each release from Kscope is carefully curated to ensure that it meets the high standards set by the label.

Formed in 1999 by founder and chief songwriter Bruce Soord, The Pineapple Thief have continued to evolve and refine their sound ever since and they're seen by many as one of the most interesting and innovative rock bands the UK have produced in recent years.    Albums like 'Someone Here Is Missing' (2010) ('extremely classy and frequently mesmerising' Classic Rock); 'Show A Little Love' EP ('it is here that the real magic of a band like TPT shines through' Classic Rock Prog) and 'All The Wars' (2012) have made their reputation and fan base stronger, starting to gather interest from a wider spectrum of alternative rock followers only enhanced with the release in 2014 of their new album 'Magnolia' which was described by The Guardian as "The perfect blend of brains, brawn, beauty and exquisite songwriting...a modern rock masterpiece."  Bruce Soord also collaborates with other Kscope artists, joining forces with Katatonia's Jonas Renkse on the 2013 'Wisdom Of Crowds' project and joining Katatonia on their 'Dethroned &amp; Uncrowned' Unplugged acoustic European tour.    While the earlier releases along with 2008's 'Tightly Unwound', were many people's introduction to the band, they had actually spent the previous ten years quietly building up a dedicated fan base across the globe, selling over 25,000 records and nurturing their 'bittersweet' progressive sound.    'Variations On A Dream' was the band's third studio album and was originally released in 2004 on the Cyclops label.  All tracks on the CD were re-mixed and re-mastered Bruce Soord, ensuring all 10 tracks sound exquisite.    'Variations On A Dream' finishes with a 16 minute epic "Remember Us". Kscope will be presenting 'Variations On A Dream' in a dipack with 4 page colour booklet.    The Pineapple Thief are currently promoting their new studio album, the follow up to 2014's 'Magnolia' entitled 'Your Wilderness' which was released on August 12th.
