Oriundo de Inglaterra, Bruce funda The Pineapple Thief como un proyecto solista mas que banda en si, pero con el exito que tuvo con su primer disco Abducting The Unicorn (1999) le surgio la idea de crear una banda en si. Con la ayuda de Nick Lang en la bateria, Mark Harris en el bajo y Adrian Soord en los teclados, sintetizadores y melotron publica su segundo disco "137" el año 2002 con el cual obtienen mucho mas interes por la critica en su pais y asi logran ser invitados a varios festivales.
Con una mezcla entre rock progresivo, sonidos pop britanicos, bastante experimentacion y sobre todo el sonido caracteristico que le da el melotron y el teclado hammond hacen que Pineapple suene muy distinta y novedosa por sobre el resto de bandas del estilo.
Con 11 discos en estudio, varios ep's y algunos en vivo The Pineapple Thief se han transformado en una excelente banda contemporanea (firmaron con el sello Kscope casa discografica de tremendas bandas como Anathema, Steven Wilson, Iamthemorning, Amplifier, Katatonia e incluso Lunatic Soul de la mano de Mariusz Duda ) y que con cada disco demuestran lo creativos al involucrar sonidos mas sintetizados como lo son U2, Radiohead, mas populares como lo es en Inglaterra mas el rock progresivo al estilo de Pink Floyd y King Crimson.
Discos que recomiendo de esta banda (dificil pero lo hice)
137 (2002)
Variations On A Dream (2003) con un sonido post rock y experimental
Little Man (2006) bastante progresivo
Someone Here Is Missing (2010) demasiado bueno aunque suene casi igual a Muse
Magnolia (2014) una muestra de evolucion y madurez de la banda.
Banda que si o si deben escuchar y disfrutar.
