ABOUT BLINDSPOTT
Blindspott are five guys from the wrong side of the tracks, making music for a generation who like their music REAL, LOUD, EMOTIVE and above all, HONEST. Blindspott grew up together, went to school together, played together, so it only seemed to make sense for them to be in a band together. It was evident from the beginning that the group had hit on something pretty special, writing original music straight away. As they say, 'It just clicked'.
When their debut album released in October 2002, the album was one of the most anticipated releases of the year. It shipped gold and debuted at number one, beating off stiff competition from new entries from both the Foo Fighters and Nirvana. The album then went platinum in its first week, and eventually on to triple platinum.
At the end of 2005 the band started recording their new album with Swedish producers Pelle Henrickson and Eskil Lovestrom, who have worked with bands such as Poison the Well, Refused and Cult of Luna. Explaining their new tracks, Blindspott promise "More palm mutes, more breakdowns, more distortions, more screaming…We thought the songs were already heavy?! These songs make the last album's tracks look like soft, because you know we'd never write a bunch of songs your parents would listen to!"
Blindspott are Damian Alexander (Vocals), Marcus Powell (Guitar/Vocals), Shelton Woolright (Drums), Dave McDermott (Bass), and Brandon Reihana (Guitar/Vocals).
