August 8, 2006 By Bryce Jacobson Leave a Comment

Sidecho Records has officially added another rock act to complement their already eclectic roster. Ladies and Gents, please welcome Blinded Black. You can read the press release below.

Blinded Black deliver a unique style by combining a heavy synthesizer sound with power-rock. Hailing from St. Louis, MO, the band developed a strong fan base with constant self-promotion and non-stop touring. The band will deliver their debut LP early 2007 that is tentatively titled If Timingâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢s Everythingâ┚¬Ã‚¦

Blinded Black have appeared on tours with Bleed the Dream, A Change of Pace, Limbeck, Letter Kills and have made multiple Warped Tour appearances. The fruits of constant touring propelled Blind Blackâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢s current EP, Sealed with a Stitch, to the third top-selling rock artist at Vintage Vinyl, with Fall Out Boy taking second place.

Alternative Press magazineâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢s Aaron Burgess has featured Blinded Black in its â┚¬Ã…”Unsigned Band of the Monthâ┚¬? section. The passion Blinded Black put into their music, expresses their desire to grow and produce the best music possible.

Updated tour information and sample tracks can be heard at www.myspace.com/blindedblack
