Formed in 1994, band members Christian – lead vocals, Simon – guitar and backing vocals, Marcus – drums and Tomas – bass, have known each other all their lives. “Growing up in Stockholm you tend to stick together,” says Simon. “Music is very important in Sweden, and we believed from the start that we could make an impact as a band.”

Christian says the group’s own creed is simple, with every member of Blindside believing that music can be a vehicle for hope. “We keep it personal but also positive,” he says. “There’s enough depressing messages already out there. Our songs can be heavy, but if you listen closely, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.”

2005 will be the group's most ambitious year. The band just regained the rights to their first 2 Cd’s - "Blindside" and "A Thought Crushed my Mind". On May 10th they will release them with 4 bonus tracks on each disc. Both records will come in a special new cardboard sleeve with a new logo.

Following this, a DVD will be released celebrating the band's 10 year anniversary. This is called "Ten Years Running Blind". It will have nearly 3 hours of content. Including a new documentary made by the band themselves. There are also 2 live shows - "Live at 110 degrees from Cornerstone 2003" and "The Internal Storm Tour Film". As well videos including the never-before-seen video for "About A Burning Fire". Photo galleries and web videos and much more.
