Switches justify their cockiness with talent, excelling in the feisty hooks and high-pitched oo-oo-oos that hark back to the glam era at its best.
-
Lay Down the Law (released in 2007 as Heart Turned to D.E.A.D. in the UK) is a non-stop glam-pop juggernaut, with nary a musical misstep.
-
One of the better albums of 2008 without question.
-
There are some particularly heady flavours here to be sure, some blended well, others not.
-
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.
-
They’ve crafted a record that feels more like imitation than originality.
-
Under The RadarLike the Killers, the Vines, The Bravery or countless other bands before them, Switches have absolutely nothing original to say. [Spring 2008, p.87]
