Swedish hard rock, metal band Blindside will be performing their 2002 album “Silence” in its entirety at the Fonda Theatre on December 6. The band consists of Christian Lindskog, guitarist Simon Grenehed, drummer Marcus Dahlstrom and bassist Tomas Naslund. In the beginning of the band’s creation, each member held down jobs while hitting pretty much every major city in Sweden on the weekends.
Blindside’s first two releases in the U.S. “Blindside” and “A Thought Crushed My Mind” established the band as blistering rock powerhouse that combines both introspective lyrics with an intense, yet melodic sound. These two albums, along with relentless touring, catapulted the band into the hard rock mainstream. With its momentum building, Blindside became the first band signed to Elektra’s 3 Points imprint, and in 2002 released “Silence,” marking its musical growth and dabbled in more mainstream fare.
“I think we see music a little bit differently,” Grenehed says, reflecting on the band’s first decade. “When we started, we were just having fun. We’re still having a lot of fun together, but you just want to dig deeper.”
Be sure to catch Blindside performing the great “Silence” at the Fonda Theatre in December!
