Money Well Spent
I have shown this album to so many people and i haven't found one person who doesn't like it. It's very hard to find a weak song on the album, was really worth the money.
Very much alive, actually.
It is always a risky tactic when you put out an album where many of the songs rely purely on enthusiasm, as is the case here, rather than melody or well crafted tunes. The album opens with the disco-fuelled 'Drama Queen' and instantly your head becomes filled with the notion that you are in the realm of a bunch of guys who wished they had been teenagers in the 70s. Thankfully, that sound doesn't appear again on the rest of the album. There are nods here and there to Franz Ferdinand and even the odd Editors-esque guitar sound and, while it is certainly not going to go platinum, there is enough on this record to suggest that Switches may well have a bright future - 'Coming Down' and 'Snakes and Ladders' prove this point. There are just too many songs that sound empty and without purpose. There have been better debut albums this year but there have definitely been far worse.
switches need more exposure!
Switches are an absolutely fantastic band with great songs, lyrics and
energy. All the songs on the album are different and each one grabs your attention in its own special way. But the band definitely needs more exposure and their record company don't promote them half as much as they should and deserve! Anyway,I think they are the best indie/rock band around at the moment, check them out on their myspace page.!
