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.

Over The Surface
Blowsight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't think I remember you this way
I don't see you the way you do
I don't think this will make any sense but
a breakdown belongs to you
And if I can shake things up
if I can make a better story
Would you replace the wings you had?
So hold me over the surface - A breakup is the only way to lose it all
I didn't do this on purpose - A breakup is the only way to kill us all
I didn't do this to hurt us - A breakup is the only way to lose it all
I didn't do this on purpose - You gotta understand, I'm staying where I am
I'm never gonna take you for granted
I just want you to be right here
But every second that you're not around me
All deep thoughts sums up to fear
And if I can shape things up
If you're against everything they lived for
Would you stick to promises?
Then I will never trust him anymore
So hold me over the surface - A breakup is the only way to lose it all
I didn't do this on purpose - A breakup is the only way to kill us all
I didn't do this to hurt us - A breakup is the only way to lose it all
I didn't do this on purpose - You gotta understand, I'm staying where I am
Yeah, I'm staying where I am x4
And all the things that I see
it puts me where I am today
I'm not afraid to go away
And all the things that I see
it puts me where I am today
I'm not afraid to go away (I'm not afraid)
So hold me over the surface - A breakup is the only way to lose it all
I didn't do this on purpose - A breakup is the only way to kill us all
I didn't do this to hurt us - A breakup is the only way to lose it all
I didn't do this on purpose - You gotta understand, I'm staying where I am
Just hold me over the surface
Just hold me over the...
