Sunshine Blind Brings Back the Darkness and Light

Sunshine Blind is an American gothic rock band formed in the early 1990s. Their music blends elements of gothic rock, darkwave, and post-punk, often characterized by atmospheric melodies, haunting vocals, and introspective lyrics. The band was known for its energetic live performances and contributions to the goth and alternative music scenes.

The original lineup featured vocalist Caroline Blind, whose distinctive voice became the hallmark of their sound, and CWHK (Charlie Walker-Heilman Kraft) on guitar and production. Sunshine Blind released several albums, including:

  • "Love the Sky to Death" (1995): Their debut album, featuring ethereal and dark tones that established their signature style.

  • "Liquid" (1997): A more polished effort that further refined their sound.

  • "I Carry You" (2003): A mix of moody and powerful tracks, showcasing their evolution as a band.

Though Sunshine Blind disbanded in the early 2000s, Caroline Blind continues to create music as a solo artist, keeping the spirit of the band alive. Sunshine Blind remains a cult favorite within the gothic and darkwave communities.

The band reunited for a one-off in December 2024 at The Mercury Lounge in NYC.
