There are at least two bands called “Blindside”.
1. Band from Stockholm, Sweden.
2. Band from Australia (1992 - 1995) that appeared on the Summershine label.
1. Blindside is a post-hardcore/alternative rock band from Stockholm. They formed in 1994 as “underFree” and kept that name for two years before releasing their debut EP in 1996.
In 1997, Tooth And Nail Records got a hold of the EP and signed Blindside. The first album, which was self-titled (Blindside), was released to American audiences. This album had quite a raw, punk rock feel and was well-received by fans of P.O.D. and Mr. Bungle.
In 1998, Tooth And Nail Records issued a new EP: Empty Box.
In 2000, A Thought Crushed My Mind was released. This album explored a harsher, more hardcore side 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 for Solid State. P.O.D. began actively endorsing Blindside and signed them to Elektra Records under the imprint 3 Points.
2002 saw the release of Blindside’s next album, Silence. It generated minor hits such as “
Sleepwalking”, “Pitiful” and “Caught a Glimpse”. In 2003, they toured with Hoobastank to support the album. Some fans consider this their best work yet, as it perfectly meshes Christian’s beautiful vocal melodies with the band’s dramatic, crunchy instrumentation.

This band is complete perfection. I've yet to find a song I don't like. Can't wait for their new album. ^_^ "When I Remember" needs to be on the top tracks, now.

Song "About A Burning Fire" - so deep, so spiritual... Awesome!!! It return me interest to this great band today. Album "Silence" - is a whole period in my life, when I just started to realy love music. 2002-2004, I was 13-15. P.O.D., Blindside and other great christian bands... Fire in The Sky, Loving Fire... God's Love. Holy Fire and Godly Love - not unholy fire and dirty or ill love... Respect for this guys! Awesome music, awesome voc of Christian, awesome lyrics and sense! Thank God for them! Bless!

"A Thought Crushed My Mind" is definetly the best. I hope the new album will have more hardcore influences mixed with melodic stuff off of "Silence" and "About a burning Fire". Time will tell
