Blameshift released their first national record, The Test, May 1, 2007 with support through F.Y.E stores. The Test takes the listener through a journey of music that mimics the many tests of life, much reflected in the albums dynamic entirety. Produced by Michael Birnbaum and Chris Bittner (Coheed & Cambria, Straylight Run), Blameshifts refreshing sound quickly started getting the recognition it deserved. Alternative Press Magazine named Blameshift, unsigned band of the month in July 2007. Within a month of releasing the record, Blameshift left it all behind and committed to non-stop touring from coast to coast. Their already established nation wide street team nearly tripled in size, creating the grass-roots fan base that will ensure the bands longevity. Sponsors such as Taco Bell, GHS Strings, Bogner and Sam Ash soon followed their launch world wide. The relentless booking efforts of band members Mann & Barbour led to a forth successful national summer tour followed by their fifth national tour in the fall of 2007.

Before the release of the test, Blameshift has toured the US 4 times. Working unbelievably hard, they were able to successfully book, promote and complete two full East Coast Tours, a Mid-West/Southeast/East coast Tour and Warped Tour 2006.

Blameshift has shared the stage with Bullet for my Valentine, Amber Pacific, ZebraHead, Paramore, Tokyo Rose, Houston Calls, Socratic, Farewell, Senses Fail, Vaeda, Patent Pending and many others.
