BLINDSIDER (otherwise known as Blindslinger, Blindsinger, Blindersider, Backslider or any other misspelled incarnation you can think of) is a pop/rock band hailing from the Steel City, consisting of rockin' chicks Michele and Kathryn and riffin' boys Dave and Dr. Craig, who have all been brought together by their love of music (both good and incredibly bad) and PBR. First influenced by shoegaze bands of the 90's, 80's pop artists and late 70's new wave, Blindsider has transcended those groups to mold its own unique sound of all original songs guided by ethereal guitars, rock riffs, hooks, and male/female harmonies. Stayed tunes to this website for details on a brand new CD release in late 2009!!!
