Mindslide

About Me


Mindlside met whilst at college in late 1992, during the following 4 years the band recorded 6 demos, played countless shows all over the north east, signed a management contract with rock producer Mark Daghorn (Marillion, Mendeed, Cradle of filth) slept on floors and drank silly amounts of ale.
Although the band came close to signing a recording contract with a number of european based rock/metal labels in 1995, the band went their seperate ways after performing their final show at The Cornerhouse in Middlesbrough in the August of 1996.
Following a 13 year break the band are making plans to write & record their debut album.
The as yet untitled long player will feature 10 brand new songs, and should hit the streets in early 2010.
The Songs
The songs in the player are the original 95/96 recordings, with new guitar, bass and sample tracks recorded at La Rocka studios in London 1998 by Chris & Rich and a boozy evening at Landscape Studios 2007, After being the master was baked and transferred to digital format at 40 Watt studios in Manchester in the January of 2007.
We've re-sampled a lot of the original drum sounds, re-tracked the bass and quad tracked all of the chugging guitars, hopefully giving you a slight idea of what we were trying to do back when we actually wrote them..
Listen ..... Loud ..... you'll get the idea....
The Videos
Touch - Promo
Home made by Rich using 2 video recorders, some arty footage and some swift overdubbing. Converted by Rich in 2005 and uploaded to Youtube for fun.
Bullet in the head - Live @ Elgins
Mindslide ended many gigs with this song, people always seemed to enjoy it, and the band enjoyed playing it. The gig was a battle of the bands heat and was the final gig played with Andre.
