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 ↴
Slowly fainting
With a crush on your girlfriend
And I know she is waiting
My arms are so weak now
And it's too late to cheat now, yeah
Smoking pot when you feel alone,
her eyes are red, and her mouth is open
Where are you?
I can see your open hand
burn x 10
Where are you?
You're fainting
I can't see all my paintings
Cuz they're blinded by lightning
And did you know we, we won't stop fighting.
(no, no, no)
Getting hot in every corner
Smoking pot when you feel alone,
her eyes are red, and her mouth is open
Where are you?
I can see your open hand
burn x 10
So who is going in?
Who will never win
stronger than before
going in once more
going to take you home
you can't be here alone
Who's coming to take you home?
We are! Yeah
Getting hot in every corner
Smoking pot when you feel alone,
her eyes are red, and her mouth is open
Where are you?
I can see your open hand
burn x 10
The lyrics of Blowsight's song "Red Eyes" depict a scene where the singer is in a complicated relationship with his crush's girlfriend. He is slowly fainting as his arms are too weak to hold on any longer. The alluring girlfriend is waiting for him, but it's too late to cheat now, and the singer is powerless to resist her allure. The song conveys a sense of longing, passion, and danger.
The chorus talks about getting hot and feeling alone in the corner, while smoking pot, painting a picture of intensity, and craving. The line "her eyes are red, and her mouth is open" creates a sense of vulnerability, and the singer's question of "where are you?" adds to the tension in the song. The burn x10 repeated multiple times throughout the song adds to the sense of the situation's incendiary nature.
The bridge has a call to action, where the singer asks who will go in and not win, but will try once more, take her home since she can't be alone. The "We are!" at the end of the bridge is uplifting, emphasizing that they will take each other home, despite the risks.
