Their music, consisting of a pop/funk feel, was not outwardly overtly Christian in nature, but instead focused more on themes of their faith that often touched on secular ideas.

With Andrew Nicholls taking over vocal duties in 2001, Blind recorded their first full-length album, Long Walk Home.

This album was released under the Down Under Christian Music Group labels and saw the band gain radio play on local commercial stations.

In late 2001, the song "Divinely Beautiful" was featured on the compilation Down Under 2002: Australasia's 35 Hottest Christian Artists,[1] and the band began intensive summer touring that would see them regular visitors to towns and cities along Australia's eastern coast.

In 2002, with the album Echoes, the band signed with Three:16 Records and worked with noted producer Caleb James, gaining limited airplay on Australian national youth-oriented radio station Triple J.
