BukandSkit Battle Of The Bands 2004 @ The Litten Tree, Slough:
"Blind To emerged as eventual winners of the competition, gaining widespread approval from crowd members and other bands alike."
"Blind To are a great heavy metal band - they won last year, too, and they are now doing a lot of sets in London and the South East. This was their second gig of the night"
- The Slough and Windsor Observer, January 2004 With their debut album, Promising Dreams Selling Nightmares, now completed, and available from the website (www.blindto.co.uk) and at gigs, Blind To are eager to find labels and agencies to help promote this new material. All of the members of Blind To have been previously involved in other bands covering such genres as (Punk, Rock, Pop, Thrash) some of which have seen interest from labels such as EMI and Sanctuary Records and they’ve all known each other for years through school, work and gigs. Their musical influences are a broad bag with a mixture of grunge, metal (Deftones, A Perfect Circle, Machine Head), death/heavy metal (Kill Switch Engage, Slayer), punk (Strung Out, Five Knuckle) and a sprinkling of hip-hop (Jehst). This gives their music a selection of heavy riffs with intelligent melodies, tight breaks and racing drums. Dynamic build-ups and technical bridges are completed with roaring vocals of Tim and the seductive singing of Maxwell.
