Sweden's BLINDSIDE have just announced their upcoming U.S. headlining tour dates. The band will hit the road June 22 in support of their new album, "The Great Depression" (produced by Lasse "Lars" Marten),out in August.

BLINDSIDE's first two albums, their self-titled debut and "A Thought Crushed My Mind", were re-issued May 10 and have been digitally remastered. Both contain four additional bonus tracks and special new artwork designed by lead singer Christian Lindskog.

"Blindside" (1997),features original demos of "Superman", "Liberty", "Forgiven" and "Stolen", previously only available as a limited edition released only in Stockholm in 1996.
