In the new millennium, after a rage of post-grunge bands, such as the Deftones, P.O.D., and Incubus, came the alternative metal four-piece 3rd Root. The band hails from San Diego and has been sharpening it's hardcore punk thrash since 1996. And after several shifts in band members and creative decisions, 3rd Root is comprised of frontman Chili Fields, ba**ist Chris Bumgardener, guitarist Andres Torres, and drummer Danny Barragan. They have played select shows with fellow hard rockers such as Dogwood, Noise Ratchet, Coal Chamber, and Living Sacrifice. 3rd Root released the Spirit of Life EP in mid-2000, with the full-length studio effort A Sign of Things to Come issued later that year. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide
