Nashville-based by way of Kentucky, the rock trio has a knack for tastefully mixing a slew of influences from edgy rock to raw blues, and even a polished touch of classical undertones.

“It’s straight-ahead and gut-wrenching rock… It can even get a little folky,” says No Country for New Nashville.

Forming the band in late 2009, Switchmen released their debut album $2 Pistol in 2010. Critics found the record to be a revival of Rock ‘n Roll. Their energetic delivery led them to share the stage with the diverse talents of Jesco White, Cage the Elephant, Moon Taxi, The Sick Puppies, Shooter Jennings, and many more. They have even played for the inmates of the Kentucky State Penitentiary.

In 2012, Switchmen released the single “Rambunctious,” garnering national airplay and attention.

“We like this single [Rambunctious] because it is wonderfully nostalgic-sounding and modern-day catchy. Blues. Rock. Sass. Three of the things that go right along with shelter, water and food for us,” says Young Mary’s Record.

In February 2014, Switchmen released their single “Around Town,” setting the stage for their 2014 release Congress Hotel, due out Nov. 18.

“Switchmen sound like someone’s taken rural American rock music, marinated it in a barrel of Bourbon for twenty years, then released it to the world,” says SupaJam. They’re what early Kings of Leon only dreamt of being, and must surely have an invitation to Jack White’s studio coming up.”
