Blindside was formed in 1994. In 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. In 1998 Blindside released the Empty Box EP on Day-Glo Records. In 1997, Tooth & Nail Records signed a licensing deal with Blindside. The US debut was released later that year by Tooth & Nail and featured songs both from the Swedish full-length debut and from the EP Empty Box. 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. 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.
