The Blind Side Dvd Label Views
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 Lindskog’s 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.
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, recorded during his recession from 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.
