Blender Gives "Lay Down The Law" 3.5 Stars! | News

TheAdmin — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 01:07:00 GMT

Blender gives Switches' debut album "Lay Down The Law" 3.5 stars in their April 2008 issue!

"British yobs wanna party like it's 1975"
"In light of the mild-mannered Coldplay knockoffs of the last few years, it's easy to forget that British rockers used to be cocky young things, happy to bang out shout-along choruses filled with drug references. Switches remember; their debut LP sounds as if it were written with soccer stadiums in mind, complete with chirpy harmonies and hooks that broadcast singer Matt Bishop's ELO fixation. (Note to Jeff Lynne: Listen to "Stepkids in Love" and "Drama Queen" and contemplate a call to your lawyer.) But the quartet throws itself into these vintage gestures with so much verve and dumb-fun exuberance that the songs, even with their simplistic, catchphrase lyrics, are hard to resist. From the glammy pop of "Snakes & Ladders" to the standout "KIller Karma," they make the case for old-fashioned, smartly-executed - and winning - bombast."
Download: "Snakes & Ladders," "Killer Karma"
- David Browne, Blender
