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.

Surprise
Blowsight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
I broke the chains and set you free
from all the ""what-do-you-wants""
from all the naughty ladies in the front
So don't waste my timeYou can't make me scared
No explanation
No time to feel afraid to do your deeds
Drive her home and make her change your mind
What a surprise - the more I give to you, the more I diecry
but instead of burning out - I'll stay alive
I'm pissed and ready to explode
a human hand grenade with heavy load
I heard the ""what-do-you-needs""
A billion sorry babies we can't feed
So don't waste my time
You're gonna taste the anger
And find another solution now - so take my car
Drive her home and make her change your mind
Do you believe the walls crashing down?
Do you believe effects are bound to happen?
Do you believe the plague turns around?
Do you believe effects are bound to happen?
So don't waste my time
These lyrics from Blowsight's song "Surprise" depict a person who feels trapped and frustrated in their current situation. The opening lines express disbelief and a sense of helplessness, as the person feels like something unfortunate is unfolding before them. However, they also acknowledge that they were the ones who broke free from restrictions and allowed someone else to be liberated as well. The mention of "what-do-you-wants" and "naughty ladies in the front" suggests that the person may have been dealing with demanding individuals or temptations in their life.
The lyrics then take a defiant tone, asserting that the person cannot be easily frightened or manipulated. They have no time to be afraid of the consequences that might come from taking action. There is a reference to driving someone home and attempting to change their mind, hinting at the possibility of trying to fix a troubled relationship or situation.
The chorus, "What a surprise - the more I give to you, the more I diecry, but instead of burning out - I'll stay alive," expresses a paradoxical feeling. Despite feeling drained and hurt by giving more of themselves, the person intends to persevere and keep going. It conveys a determination to remain resilient and not let their efforts consume them completely.
The following verse unveils more frustration, with the person describing themselves as a ticking time bomb, ready to explode. The mention of "what-do-you-needs" suggests another set of demands or expectations placed on them. There is a reference to a multitude of "sorry babies we can't feed," potentially implying the burdens and responsibilities they've had to shoulder and the inability to meet everyone's needs.
The lyrics continue with a declaration that the person won't tolerate wasting their time any longer. They warn that the other party will taste their anger and need to find a different solution. The suggestion to "take my car, drive her home, and make her change your mind" hints at the desire for someone else to take responsibility or make changes to resolve the situation.
The final lines of the lyrics pose a series of rhetorical questions, asking if the walls will come crashing down or if the cycle of negative effects will continue. These questions might reflect a sense of skepticism and doubt about the possibility of positive change. Overall, these lyrics express a mix of frustration, defiance, and a longing for resolution or improvement in the singer's life.
