Background notes
Archive material and source history
Grindstone's debut album 'Blind the Light' came out in 1986, with the title track becoming their most recognizable song. They also recorded tracks like 'Cleansing' and 'Mir' that found their way onto radio playlists during that period.
The band included Jake O'Riordan on vocals, John Fitzpatrick on guitar, Tommy Walsh on bass, and Dave Brennan on drums. Their sound had a hard rock foundation with some pop elements mixed in, which drew different reactions from critics at the time.
In 1985, there was a stage collapse during one of their festival performances that injured several fans. The band continued playing shows after that incident, though it affected how some people viewed them for a while.
