With over 70 shows under their belt not only in Scandinavia but also in USA and more the band has shown what they can dish out. Although the band's first single might show a bit of the lighter side of Blowsight, don't be fooled. You can count on some hard driving guitars, raw but yet beautiful melodic vocals and plenty of drum abuse to come shortly after.
"We've been doing what we love most for the last 4 years while mailing demos to every record label we could find. Who would have thought we would end up getting signed for a single ("I'll Be Around") by Sony/BMG because of an internet website", vocalist/guitarist Niklas adds.
One day the band decided to upload some songs on a website called allears.se and all of a sudden they have over 25,000 plays in just two months and all 4 of their demo songs are sittin' on the top of the most sold charts.
Their debut album "Destination Terrorville" was released by the band themselves in June 2007, and has been recieved with great reviews. In summer of 2007, the band played the material at large festivals such as the Sweden Rock Festival, Rockoff and the Skellefteå Festival. In 2009, 'Destination Terrorville' is being released through Fastball Music/Sony on August 21, refueled with the bonus track 'Teenage Rockstar'
Blowsight's eagerness to experiment and evolve is lighting up their musical diversity. While the band's music has always been deeply personal, the songs can be felt emotionally by everyone who listens.

Blowsight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Since you never write back and never answer my calls
I'm waiting here by the phone
So let me know if you're alive and well
So I can leave you alone
Yeah, so I can leave you alone
I said I'm just a bit scared that's all
I'm still waiting by the phone
So let me know if you're alive so I can leave you alone
Eli you told me- live as a winner, die as a sinner
(Truly you're fading away)
I was protecting down and above her, said that I loved her
(Truly you're fading away)
I'm gonna leave you alone, gonna let you decide
Make up your mind and tell a line after lie
If I leave you alone, will you do me the same?
I hate the game I play again and again
I will leave you alone
(I will erease you whole)
I'm gonna leave you alone
(I will erease you whole)
I'm gonna leave you alone
'Cause I feel so ashamed to be part of a game
I'm ready to take control
For every step that I take I will rely on my soul
And all the titles I know they tried to give to you and me
We blew away and walked out laughing happily
A happy new year given to none but one who walks alone
If I could just erease but a sharp year, instead of eating the bone
I'm gonna leave you alone, gonna let you decide
Make up your mind and tell a line after lie
If I leave you alone, will you do me the same?
I hate the game I play again and again
I will leave you alone
(I will erease you whole)
I'm gonna leave you alone
(I will erease you whole)
I'm gonna leave you alone
'Cause I feel so ashamed to be part of a game
To be part of a game
To be part of a game
(Change me)
You tried to change me didn't you?
You tried to change me didn't you, didn't you?
I tried to stop you didn't I, didn't I?
I guess I didn't now
I guess I didn't
I guess I didn't
I guess I never tried to stop you at all
I'm gonna leave you alone, gonna leave you behind
I made up my mind and tell a line after lie
If I leave you alone, will you do me the same?
I hate the game I play again and again
I will leave you alone
(I will erease you whole)
I'm gonna leave you alone
(I will erease you whole)
I'm gonna leave you alone
'Cause I feel so ashamed to be part of a game
To be part of a game
To be part of a game

The song ends with the singer deciding to leave the other person behind and telling them that he will erase them whole.

Of course they do exist. They'll have their new album released soon. But they're not too famous (what a shame) so it's hard to find something about them on pages like Wikipedia or something like that sometimes.
