Third Time Luckie - 3TL

3TL Bio

For 20 years 3TL have played 3-piece UK pop/punk Rock music to the world.

After a period of grace, the band return following the passing of former bass player Duncan Lee with their comeback single ‘Heart Break Summer’ out April 2026.

Chris and Carl are joined by Sam on bass and have penned their comeback EP ready for launch Summer 2026.

The band had UK chart success with ‘Alys’ in 2009 debuting at no. 36.
Alys was then selected for a TV advertisement for Puma fragrances.

Following commercial success 3TL played at the top of the London BT Tower before joining the Hard Rock Cafe live music circuit.

Signing to Animal Farm records, 3TL released Hands Up, Up To You and Have You Ever. ‘Up To You’ was selected for the American Pie Reunion soundtrack shortlist but unfortunately didn’t make the final cut.

3TL released ‘You’re the One’ and shot the music video in their hometown of Worthing. Kerrang magazine picked up on the buzz and nominated 3TL as ones to watch for 2010.

Following a gruelling show schedule the band took a break in 2012 and reformed in 2016.
Face The Beast was released to the world with hit singles ‘Wide Eyed Thinking’ and ‘Love & Violence’ taking over UK and US airwaves and shifted 32,000 units in its release month.

Following differences in direction and commitment another period of hiatus followed the band until 2024.
Duncan Lee, bassist of 3TL, tragically took his own life after a lifelong battle with metal health and illness; this tragic passing pulled the band back together and set off to talk awareness on UK male suicides under 40 in the UK - our message is clear - the more we play, the louder our message gets!
