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 ↴
A lady like you should wear a warnin'
It's dangerous, I'm fallin'
And there's no escape, I can't wait
I need a hit, baby give me it
You're dangerous, I'm lovin' it
Too high, can't come down
Losing my head,
Spinning 'round and 'round
Do you feel me now?
[Chorus:]
With a taste of your lips, I'm on a ride
You're toxic, I'm slippin' under
taste of a poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Baby yeah.
With a taste of your lips, I'm on a ride
You're toxic, I'm slippin' under
taste of a poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic?
I'm addicted to you, yeah
And I love what you do
It's getting late to give you up
I took a sip from my devil's cup
slowly, It's taking over me
[Bridge]
Too high, can't come down
It's in the air and it's all around
Can you feel me now?
[Chorus:]
With a taste of your lips, I'm on a ride
You're toxic, I'm slippin' under
Taste of a poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
With a taste of your lips, I'm on a ride
You're toxic, I'm slippin' under
Taste of a poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
[Bridge:]
Too high, can't come down
Losing my head,
Spinning 'round and 'round
Do you feel me now?
[Chorus:]
(Taste of your lips I'm on a ride)
You're toxic, I'm slippin' under
taste of a poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Baby, yeah
With a taste of your lips, I'm on a ride
You're toxic, I'm slippin' under
taste of a poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic?
