London, England's newest power rock quartet is led by front man Matt Bishop, who has been making music since he was four (he was unsigned, but showed a lot of potential). His experience definitely shines through; The Switches have an extremely robust sound that is reminiscent of Franz Ferdinand mixed with a dash of the golden boys of pop punk (i.e., Green Day, Blink-182 and the like). Their debut album "Lay Down The Law" is packed with fist-pumping rock that really meshes well with the cover art of the album, which depicts a fight in a club. These anthems will have you dancing till you drop, if not jumping along in irreverent euphoria. Fiery riffs are complemented perfectly by a titillating high-hat line that keeps things fresh and fun, as the record takes you on an adventurous night in the London underground rock club scene.
