Blisters is the debut extended play (EP) by English alternative metal band SugarComa. It was released in August 2000 through Velocity Recordings, under licence from MainMan.

Critical reception
Blisters was named Single of the Week in both Melody Maker and Kerrang! Melody Maker's guest reviewer Lauren Laverne was effusive in her praise: "This is fantastic. It starts off like Duran Duran, the chorus is totally Hole with a little Metallica thrown in."

A Music Week review was also positive: "A great debut from these Romford-based teenagers [...] It should do well in its genre market." They described the opening as being like early Public Image Ltd and the chorus like Kittie.

The press release sent out with Blisters made the boast: "already better than Kittie". Repeated comparisons to the contemporary Canadian young, predominantly-female metal band were to become SugarComa's pet peeve, with drummer James Cuthbert later complaining of "lazy journalism".
