Make tonight special and listen to their discography this evening. Timing should be blamed for such, as a plethora of clones persisted and thrived several years later and into the next decade.
Somehow, Louisville, Kentucky’s aggressive and frenetic Emanuel didn’t achieve the same degree of fanfare, and many musicians were shocked, as this band were certainly a band’s band. Vagrant Records certainly ruled the beginning of this century with diverse powerhouse acts such as Dashboard Confessional, Alkaline Trio and the Get Up Kids. Sad! There must have been some sort of disconnect lost in translation because Blindside were peerless live. But two major-label releases in, the band were still relatively unknown stateside, playing smaller capacity venues in the states than the figureheads and fans anticipated. They had the songs, they had the look and their releases were timed when their genre was at its commercial peak. Perhaps the largest band on this list, Sweden’s Blindside were primed for global domination in the early 2000s. It’s such a shame that we only have one EP and two LPs to show for it, as this group had so much potential to become a career act. New Jersey’s BEDlight For BlueEYES are probably best known for their standout cover of Third Eye Blind ’s “ Jumper ,” but their amazing and musically diverse originals, which combine a more-than-skilled band playing crunching post-hardcore with the wide range of incredible ’80s-hair-metal vocals, deserve much more notoriety too.
