With a very original sound and vocals reminiscent of Skipline, they rip & tear through 8 tracks of punk and grind influenced hardcore. The best element of this record is the lyrics. Combine the militance of Earth Crisis and Christianity and you have Blindside's lyrics.

Although this is an indie release, it is available in circular digital format with a very attractive and professional looking booklet. The album itself sounds very professional.

They must sit around inside and…Similar sounding releases
