Third Eye Blind Record New Track For A Knight's Tale

Third Eye Blind has recorded a new track called "Eye, Conqueror" for the soundtrack to the movie A Knight's Tale, according to a spokesperson for the band at Eric Godtland Management. The song was cut in the studio in late March and road tested at Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania earlier this month and again at the band's appearance at the Indycar Grand Prix in Long Beach, Calif., on April 8.

Although singer Stephan Jenkins had announced from the stage that the song would be included in the film, the deal was not finalized until this past Friday (April 13).

The soundtrack, which also features Robbie Williams and the surviving members of Queen doing a duet of "We Are The Champions," as well as previously released tracks by Heart, Eric Clapton, David Bowie, and Thin Lizzy, among others, is in stores May 8 on Columbia Records. The movie, which stars Heath Ledger and centers on jousting tournaments in the Middle Ages, hits theatres May 11.

The group also performed two other new songs at its recent appearances, including its collaboration with Run-DMC, "Rock Show," and a song called "I Forget" from this fall's Rock Star, which also sees Jenkins in his acting debut (allstar, April 4).

Third Eye Blind, meanwhile, will be playing a handful of one-off festivals as well as several acoustic shows that will feature just Jenkins and guitarist Arion Salazar as they get ready to record a new album. The band has set aside time in May to write and rehearse new material.
