The Blinders are an English alternative rock band originally from Doncaster, now based in Manchester, England. The band currently consists of vocalist and guitarist Thomas Haywood, bass guitarist Charlie McGough, drummer Thomas Castrey, and keyboardist Johnny James. They released their debut EP Hidden Horror Dance in 2016, followed by their first LP Columbia in 2018, and second LP Fantasies Of A Stay At Home Psychopath in 2020 both on Modern Sky Entertainment. Following the departure of Mat Neale in 2020, the band released Electric Kool Aid: a 2-part EP released on June 17, 2022. On October 30, 2023, the band revealed details on the new album “Beholder” which was released on March 1, 2024.
Shortly after the album's release and subsequent cancellation of the European leg of their tour, various social media posts from the band suggested that they were to take an indefinite hiatus, leaving their future unknown.
