Blindside is a post-hardcore band from Stockholm, Sweden. They formed in 1994 as Underfree and kept that name for two years before releasing their debut EP in 1996.
History
Blindside/A Thought Crushed My Mind
In 1996 Blindside, released the Empty Box EP on Day-Glo Records. In 1997, Solid State Records got a hold of the EP and signed Blindside to their label. 1997 Blindside debuted in Sweden with their self-titled debut, a collection of old and new songs that were based on singer Christian Lindskogs life at the time. The disc was released later that year in the U.S. by Tooth & Nail. In 2000, A Thought Crushed My Mind was released. A Thought Crushed My Mind was more harsh and hardcore than the band's debut, and vocalist/chief lyricist Christian Lindskog also voiced his pain of missing his wife, Elina, while touring. Due to lackluster sales of the two albums, it would be Blindside's final album with Solid State. Fellow group P.O.D. began actively endorsing Blindside and signed them to Elektra Records under the imprint 3 Points.
Silence
In 2002 Blindside released Silence. It generated hits such as "Sleepwalking", "Pitiful," and "Caught a Glimpse." They appeared on Late Night with Conan O'Brien and sang "Pitiful". In 2003, they toured with Hoobastank to support the album. In 2003, the Warner Music Group was sold to private investors, leading Elektra to drop Blindside. The Blindside Union and P.O.D. Warriors, the two bands' street teams, stepped in to help in promotion. Blindside sold out five of the shows they headlined in 2004. However, the headlining tour was marred by several incidents. First, their tour bus crashed and was in disrepair, forcing the band to rent a van. Secondly, their last show in Bartlesville, OK had to be canceled. After dining in a restaurant in Dallas, TX, they found everything in their rental van stolen, including passports and money.
About a Burning Fire/The Great Depression
In 2004, About a Burning Fire was released. It generated a minor hit in "All of Us." The album showed the band toying with their diversity, as they threw in techno elements in "Where The Sun Never Dies" and yodeling Swedish vocals in the ethereal "Shekina". "Shekina" is a Jewish and Christian name for the outer presence of God's glory, and this song title expresses Blindside's spiritual side in their music. "Shekina" was used on WWE DVD, Cheating Death, Stealing Life - The Eddie Guerrero Story. The track "Hooray, It's L.A.!" features the guitar and back up vocals of Billy Corgan During his recession from the band he normally sings and guitars for: The Smashing Pumpkins. Following in 2005, Blindside re-released their two Solid State LPs with bonus tracks and new cover art. A DVD titled Ten Years Running Blind was released on June 21, 2005, and a new album, The Great Depression, was released August 2, 2005. The Great Depression showcased Blindside experimenting with multiple new genres. Many jazzy elements were incorporated, such as "My Alibi" and "City Lights." Guest vocalists were incorporated, namely Ilkka from Benea Reach and Selfmindead, as well as J. Jamte. Ilkka sang alongside Christian Lindskog in "Come To Rest", while J. Jamte contributed to "You Must Be Bleeding Under Your Eyelids."
The Black Rose EP
Blindside released a new EP, The Black Rose EP, on June 27, 2007 and toured the United States in support of it in late 2007. This album included five new songs and three live songs, and was (and is) only available online, in Sweden and at Blindside's concerts.
Current Events
Blindside has been performing a new song called "Remember December" from their upcoming album. Christian and Simon have also been performing in a side project named Lindforest (The English translation of Christians Swedish lastname "Lindskog"). Blindside took some time off throughout 2008 but also has written new songs and is expected to release a new album.
On May 1, 2009, it was announced that Blindside will be performing at a free showcase that will be held in Las Vegas at the Thomas and Mack Center on August 29, 2009, along with Flyleaf, Brian Welch and P.O.D., among others.
On July 29, 2009, Blindside announced that they were going to be making a new album, to be produced by Howard Benson. They hope to release the album in early 2010.
Hardcore cristiano en inglés
This band has always deserved to be bigger than they are. So underrated.
Noooooo shit!! That’s an understatement!
Agreed. Listened to them forever. I remember when this song came out. So good.
Good things don’t need to be popular
I’m so glad they made it to need for speed soundtracks back from the days
Revisiting this classic in 2023 🤘
One of the best bands of the early 2000's. Tis 2020 and i'm still pounding this tune!!!
Fuck I still love this band it’s 2024 now too and I’m 35
This song is a masterpiece. Up tempo beat to a killer heavy drop🔥🔥🔥
that scream to a sung note tho
MrHarmonizr I know so intense, one of my best memories of the era
i think in 2003 i did this to blindside - "sleepwalking." mmmm, nostalgia 🤤
I remember listening to this album (cd) back in my highschool days man and it was on constant repeat. My dad would always say his music was better because it still sounded good in 30 years time. Oh you mean like this? 😎
Love it since I was in high school now 2019 still love it
I’m so glad they are saved and followers of Jesus Christ. Love this band! 🤘🎸
remember seeing this on FUSE and it was the heaviest thing I'd ever heard. not so much anymore, but it was the gateway
Heavy with plenty of melodies and lots of catchy choruses..I listen to the heaviest stuff out there...but melody is the most important thing in music.
OMG fuse... Memories remember dedicate live? I dedicated this to an ex once lol
I don't know what made me think about this song but I feel like I'm in middle school again
I remeber first seeing this vid in 2002 and seeing them live in 03 (sigh) good times
Words so secure screaming like an alarm
Are you trying to wake me up
Now what was that you were trying to pull
Is it my arm
I do believe you're trying to wake me up
But could it be maybe
It's not me sleeping
Could it be maybe you awakening
Sleep this time tonight
Sleepwalk in the light
Sleep this time tonight
Sleepwalk out of sight
Now here I am, but I'm just sleepwalking
Yes here I stand
But I guess I'm just sleeptalking for myself
But could it be maybe
It's not me sleeping
Could it be maybe you awakening
Sleep this time tonight
Sleepwalk in the light
Sleep this time tonight
Sleepwalk out of sight
One day this world will see me at the horizon
One day from a distant light
And just before I stand to face my love
I'll turn around
And with a smile I'll say my goodbyes
Just one last goodbye
Goodbye
