The band seemingly came out of nowhere announcing a one off show for October 10 where they will play their groundbreaking and perhaps most popular album to date, Silence. The band wrote in their announcement that this will be the first time Silence has ever been played in its entirety.

The show will take place at the Marlin Room in Webster, and will feature guests Adept, Solence, and Rideau, all who will be playing for the first time in the U.S.

Blindside has experimented toward multiple genres of rock ranging from hardcore, thrash, screamo, and indie while always staying toward the heavy side.

Blindside's heyday was in the mid 2000's when they had the support of their good friend's P.O.D. and signed from Tooth & Nail Records to major label Elektra. From their they released Silence and About a Burning Fire, their two most successful albums.

These days the band has quieted down and were on a bit of a hiatus for awhile. Their last release was 2011's With Shivering Hearts We Wait.
