Initially a solo outlet for Bruce’s music the first album, Abducting the Unicorn, was released on Cyclops Records in May 1999. The critical plaudits and small but fanatical fan base that grew around the release was enough to convince Bruce that perhaps TPT was here to stay and he returned to the Dining Room studios to work on the second TPT album, 137.

Following the reaction to its release in the spring of 2002 and the growing demand from fans for live shows, Bruce felt the need to expand TPT to a full band. 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. Wayne and Matt have since left but Steve Kitch (who co-produced and mixed the albums since 10 Stories Down) joined to replace Matt and play the keyboards.

The third album, Variations On A Dream (2004) gave TPT a further boost, reaching out to yet more people all over the world. Three albums followed, 10 Stories Down (2005), Little Man (2006), and limited the run What We Have Sown (2007) which featured re-worked un-released tracks. This was to prove to be the last album released via Cyclops before the band signed to Kscope and released Tightly Unwound. This was followed by The Dawn Raids EPs and 3000 Days, a 2CD re-mixed and re-mastered collection of songs from their ten year history so far.

The band returned in May 2010 with their new album Someone Here Is Missing. This album marked a significant step forward in the maturity of the band’s song writing and earned the band critical acclaim. In April 2011 the Thief were privileged to be invited to cover Pink Floyd's 'Money' by Mojo magazine for their cover CD tribute to the Dark Side of the Moon.

The band will release a new studio album in September 2012.

Our Mire
The Pineapple Thief Lyrics

I didn't want to wake up
I didn't wake up intending to slide
Into our mire

I didn't want to wake up
I didn't want to wake up now
I didn't want to see our ship
Going down

I have all the time for this

Every second more
To keep our heads above water
That's what we were for
Half a second is all you were given for
This our final call
Is that was I was for?

I didn't want to wake up
I didn't want to wake up now
I didn't want to see our ship
Going down

When you stumble on
It's someone you're looking for
To push away the tide
That's what we were for
When we stumbled on
Just what we were looking for
To spend our days with you
That's what we were for

You think I was in on it?
You think I ignored the warning signs?
All I could see was the glistening of the wake we left behind
The first to jump this ship will be the first to stay alive
Go down with this ship to stay alive

I didn't want to wake up
I didn't want to wake up now
I didn't want to see our ship
Going down

Kneeling on this shore
Looking down
We are face to face
Into the ground
Wherever you are
Wherever you ran aground
I know it broke our hearts when our ship went down
