Switches in New York plus tunes

You know, I try not to pay attention to the hype for every British band that comes along, but I have to say that these two tracks by Switches are very catchy. Their album, Heart Tuned to D.E.A.D., will be out in the States in the fall, but their best tracks have this definite glammy 70s rock vibe that is irresistible. Shades of powerpop and pub rock too. Oohs and aahs. I quite enjoy the lyric, "rip out your heart and give it to me." I actually haven't posted a mp3 here of my favorite track, "Stepkids in Love", but their MySpace page has that song posted along with three other extremely fine tunes.

Switches are playing for free at The Annex this Sunday, July 15th. You can RSVP here. It looks like it will be a late show, but again it's free. They are also playing with The Fratellis at Roseland next Wednesday the 18th, but it's $18 and it's, uh, Roseland.

Anyway, Switches seem to be playing a few US dates. Here are two tracks...anyone want to go see them play on Sunday?
