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.

This Will Remain Unspoken
The Pineapple Thief Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When the simple way,
Is an ocean.
I find it hard to justify these days
When all our days,
Are just a token.
I hope you hear the things I need to say
As they will remain,
So read my mind.
It's crying out for love, to find.
This is the start of the end for me
As the end for me,
Is not over.
And everyday is a little more to see
A little more to be
When it's over.
In "This Will Remain Unspoken," The Pineapple Thief explores the complexity of communication and human connection. The opening lines of the song set the stage for this theme, with the singer struggling to find "the simple way" to express themselves in the face of an overwhelming "ocean" of emotions. This line is particularly powerful, as it demonstrates the difficulty many people experience in trying to communicate their feelings honestly and effectively. The next lines further underscore this point when the singer proclaims, "I find it hard to justify these days/When all our days, are just a token." Here, the song seems to suggest that words and actions have become empty gestures in a world where genuine connection is increasingly rare.
The chorus of the song shifts to a plea for empathy, with the singer asking the listener to "read [their] mind." This line suggests a desire for a deeper intuitive understanding between two people, rather than simply relying on verbal communication. The final lines of the song are particularly poignant, with the singer declaring, "This is the start of the end for me/As the end for me, is not over." This line suggests the inevitability of change and the importance of embracing every moment of life, even the difficult ones.
