Ok Blind Channel, where have you been all my life?

[@DalCecilRuno]

I heard Dark Side and first thing I said was "Linkin Park & The Rasmus had a baby!" I wasn't wrong. Linkin PARK fans flocking to your music now. I'm one of them.

[@LadyRevania]

Another Linkin Park fan here. Your theory is correct. The first time I heard Dark Side I thought it was Linkin Park, but with a little more pop sound ;)

[@carolinanunes3003]

Exactly what I thought too!

[@Joelle2005]

Oh yes I'm a big Linkin Park fan and a big Eurovision fan and now I'm a fan of Blind Channel because they remind me of Linkin Park

[@MRiitta]

Syytän kyllä kaikkia musiikin parissa työskenteleviä ihmisiä Suomessa siitä, että tällainen jalokivi, upeita taitavia artisteja täynnä, on saanut niin vähän huomiota tähän asti. Onneksi tuli tämä kilpailu!!

[@venla5375]

Ei kai se musiikkialan ihmisten vika ole, vaan musiikin kuluttajien. Ja kyllähän bändillä on ollut ihan kivasti menestystä, radiosoitto ja pärstän näkyminen lehdessä ei kerro kuin sen, kuinka sopivan mainstreamia artistin/bändin musiikki on. Oli aika, jolloin Nightwishin musiikki soi about jokaisella suomalaisella radiokanavalla - nykyisin 1-2 radiokanavaa soittaa, ja pärstät on lehdessä aika harvoin. Silti Nightwish on Suomen menestynein bändi, ja menestys vain jatkuu.

[@Wenixi]

Rokkia ylipäänsä soitetaan tosi vähän nyt, kun rap ja edm on se juttu. Ite en tiedä onko näitä soitettu radio rockilla tai tämmösillä. Voin puhuu vain omasta puolestani, mut oon kyl tienny bändin, mut mul on ollu heistä aivan väärä kuva. 😅 Se on perustunu varmaan yhteen biisin ja siihen tyyliin minkä oon saanu heistä jotai 4 vuotta sitten.

Never could I have imagined that anyone but Chester could sing this song so beautifully. Now I'm sitting here, crying like a baby, because this is stunning. Definitely a worthy tribute to a band and a person that have played a major role in my teenage years. I'm so glad Eurovision made me aware of your existence and I feel horrible for not noticing you any earlier although I'm so much into Finnish music.

Perfection. Some people compare BC to LP, of course partly right, because there are a few similarities, but still they're two different bands. Both perfect and unique. A unique tribute to the unique Man with a Big Heart. RIP Chester and thanks guys for this cover.

[@wathenit]

I feel that "inspired by Linkin Park" is a good and easy way to describe Blind Channel. Of course lot more than just that, but if you like LP, BC is a pretty easy follow up. Perfect for me as a fan of Nu metal and Metalcore

[@m.k.298]

I have loved Linkin Park for years and I love Blind Channel. Chester was a wonderful Man and inspired many bands. BC are inspired by LP, but are not a copy of LP. Greetings :).

@@m.k.298 true, inspired by does not mean LP 2.0. They kind of Nu metal-core
