3 comments on The Ghost you Gave to Me:
“We have finally done it... we made THE album we've been working towards for our entire career. Yes, it did take some time, but works of this magnitude often do. "The Ghost You Gave To Me" is our most epic recording yet. It is a perfect blend of our unique brand of musicality, potent melody and lyrical innovation. We have pushed our own envelope beyond formulaic composition and into a realm where songs have a life of their own... Unpredictable twists and turns, striking imagery and passionate precision combine to make each song a journey in and of itself. This record is alive....”

3 was founded in 1994 as a three piece outfit with Joey Eppard on guitar & lead vocals, Josh Eppard on drums and Chris Bittner on bass. They came to the attention of Universal Records after well-received performances at the Woodstock Festival in 1994, eventually getting signed in 1998, but following an unstable relationship with the label through its series of corporate mergers, the band was left with little prospect of releasing their album. Eventually, the band decided to release it on Planet Noise Records, a small indie label, and thenceforth managed themselves independently, until their 2005 signing with Metal Blade, on whose label they re-released Wake Pig in late 2005. The band has toured nationally numerous Times.

In separate tours in May & October 2007 the band toured with the British progressive rock group PORCUPINE TREE, on their Fear of a Blank Planet North American tour. 3 also went on the road with  SCORPIONS, & later finished up the second leg of the Fear of a Blank Planet tour again with PORCUPINE TREE.

The music video for the song "All That Remains" was voted the #16 Video of 2007 on MTV2's Headbanger's Ball. It was directed, shot and animated by David Brodsky.

3 were a part of the "Progressive Nation '08" tour with DREAM THEATER, OPETH, and BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME.
