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.

The Simple Art
Blowsight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You have to bare with me
Let's hold the clowns for entertainment and the girls for company
And the more you shoot the more i smile -
Just let the bullets penetrate
Hold the clowns for entertainment - dance around like timberlake
The more you shoot the more i smile
So free yourself from everyone
Let's turn the party on
The situation is critical - i want us to shine
The night is still young
Let's turn the tv on
I'd like to call this the simple art of making you mine
If i could have a nickel - for everytime i said "no" -
I'd be a millionare but use the cash on the new nintendo
There was a part of me who loved the way you used to smile
The yesterday is f*cking grey - i'm glad it's been a while.
So what's up with making me - it's making you the enemy
I try to heal but still i'm bleeding.
So free yourself from everyone
Let's turn the party on
The situation is critical - i want us to shine
The night is still young
Let's turn the tv on
I'd like to call this the simple art of making you mine
So what do you want?
High voltage rock 'n roll!
And what do you need?
Blowsight in control!
(x2)
So free yourself from everyone
Let's turn the party on
The situation is critical
So free yourself from everyone
Let's turn the party on
The situation is critical
- i want us to shine
The night is still young
Let's turn the tv on
I'd like to call this the simple art of making you mine
