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 ↴
I defy the life that covered you in shame
Well, I tried to push it down, the fortune, fame
The world is sweet without the games
So sweet without the games
So pin me down
I've been giving you reasons
Or I'll be trapped forever
Pin me down, now I'm giving you needles
Spit me out, got a feeling it's time to go
Or I'll be trapped forever
(And when it all comes down)
I wish you 666
There's nothing I can't do
But I know my line and I wish that you could too
And as I work the soil you burn in flames
The world is sweet without the games
So sweet without the games
So pin me down
I've been giving you reasons
Spit me out, got a feeling it's time to go
Or I'll be trapped forever
Pin me down, now I'm giving you needles
Spit me out, got a feeling it's time to go
Or I'll be trapped forever
(And when it all comes down)
I wish you 666
So tell me who you are
I don't need to be this devil by the stars
I don't want to stay, I know I've gone too far
I don't need to be this pain inside you
Pain inside you
Pin me down
I've been giving you reasons
Spit me out, got a feeling it's time to go
Or I'll be trapped forever
Pin me down, now I'm giving you needles
Spit me out, got a feeling it's time to go
Or I'll be trapped forever
Pin me down
I've been giving you reasons
Spit me out, got a feeling it's time to go
Or I'll be trapped forever
Pin me down, now I'm giving you needles
Spit me out, got a feeling it's time to go
Or I'll be trapped forever
(And when it all comes down)
I wish you 666
