The Switch are a pop band from Oslo comprised of a singer songwriter, a hard rock bassist, a klezmer clarinet player, the drummer from Norma Sass, a piano teacher, a journalist and a writer-cum-bartender with a shady background. They make classic POP (yes in capitals) awash with layers of backing vox, old school keyboards and massive guitar solos.
The band are in the process of putting the final touches to their debut long player “Big If” which has been produced by Ole Øvstedal (Dharma, Euroboys, Spirits of The Dead), recorded by Morten Øby (Pirate Love, Lionheart Brothers), mixed by Christian Engfeldt (Cato Salsa Experience, The Turns) and last but not least mastered by Björn Engelmann at Cutting Room. The first single “Finally overrated” picked up plays from P3 in particular the influential Lydverket show as well as being A-listed on Radio Nova. The band played Øya’s club program appearing at both Revolver and Sukkerbiten setting things up nicely for an Autumn seven inch release and subsequent release party at Internasjonalen.
