Biography
Cadillac Blindside came together in Minneapolis during 1997 as a four-piece punk rock outfit and quickly established itself as a regular presence on college radio playlists. The group’s sound blended indie rock elements reminiscent of At the Drive-In, the Get Up Kids, and the Dillinger Four. Frontman and guitarist Zaq Zrust, bassist Trent Raygor, guitarist and vocalist James Russell, and drummer Rebecca Hanten made up the lineup that delivered the band’s first full-length effort, Read the Book, Seen the Movie, through Soda Jerk Records near the end of 2000, following a fall tour alongside Ultimate Fakebook and the Impossibles. Allegory of Death and Fame surfaced the following spring. Issued in May 2002, These Liquid Lungs stood as the quartet’s strongest and final statement before Cadillac Blindside dissolved shortly afterward.
