The trick to achieving longevity in the loose waters of modern music is being able to cling onto the coat tails of modern trends, without effort whilst still retaining an independent thrust. The NU Rave skirting, with a glam gloss of ‘Drama Queen’ sits up in the powerful vocal draw of Matt Bishop, who gives the Rayleigh outfit, Switches some provocation and soaring power. The nifty single builds from a bounding percussion base, provided by the adroit Jimmy G, to wrap around the dramatic repetition of the chorus, as the song reaches a punchy plain. Switches show a broadness that could see them, along with contemporaries White Rose Movement, outlive the fickle trends of the music industry.

Sounds like its up someone's alley, perhaps not even mine. But I'll keep an ear out for it and know it was Dave Adair that gave me the alert.
