Heart Tuned to D.E.A.D. by Switches

Heart Tuned to D.E.A.D. was the one and only album from English indie rockers Switches, released in the UK on 23 April 2007. Atlantic Records put it out, and Americans got it almost a year later under a new name, Lay Down the Law, minus the track "Give Up the Ghost". The title may be a wink at the Super Furry Animals song "Bass Tuned to D.E.A.D".

Matt Bishop sings and plays guitar, with Ollie Thomas on second guitar, Maxwell Tite on bass and Jimmy G on drums, and the record is all wiry riffs, handclap-ready choruses and cheeky, jittery energy. "Drama Queen" is the one that made the countdowns. The critics were kind, too: it holds a 76 score at Metacritic.
