Biography

Blindside is a Swedish Christian rock band that has produced several albums, appeared on American television and placed a popular track on a Hollywood feature film. Songwriter and vocalist Christian Lindskog, guitarist Simon Grenehed, bassist Tomas Näslund and Marcus Dahlström, from Tumba, Sweden, released an EP titled 'Empty Box' with the name Underfree in 1994 but two years later they moved to Stockholm and changed the band's name to Blindside. They followed their eponymous 1997 debut album with 'A Thought Crushed My Mind' (2000) and 'Silence' (2002), which featured the track 'Pitiful', which director Casey La Scala used on the soundtrack of his 2003 skateboarding picture 'Grind' starring Adam Brody. The album 'About a Burning Fire' came out in 2004 with a spiritual track titled 'Shekina', which featured on the soundtrack of a World Wrestling Entertainment DVD 'Cheating Death, Stealing Life - The Eddie Guerrero Story' in 2004. Blindside released a DVD called 'Ten Years Running Blind' in 2005 and another album, 'The Great Depression', the same year followed in 2011 by 'With Shivering Hearts We Wait'. The group's sound has evolved over the years and now incorporates some jazzy elements but guitarist Grenehed says on the Blindside Facebook page, "For us, it's always been about trying to get a positive message out there, some kind of hope."
