Third Day may be young, but they have been around a little while.  The first I heard of them was back in 1995 when "Thief" and "Did You Mean It" both got airplay in the Atlanta area.  I knew they would be a hard-rock outfit after hearing those two songs, but I never would have predicted that they would grow to become such a well-known and loved group.  Also, you could have never told me then how much I would grow to like their music now.
