Switched started life in Cleveland in 1999 as Sw1tch, working stages around Ohio and passing out a rough demo that already held the bones of their debut: "Anymore", "Wrongside", "Inside", "Darkening Days", "Last Chance" and "Skins" all made the jump to the finished record. A funk band already owned the name Switch, so they became Sw1tched, and Immortal/Virgin Records signed them up.

Subject to Change arrived in 2002, though not without a lineup shuffle. Bassist Shawn May tracked every bass part and then walked, and Jason French, who'd been working as Chimaira's drum tech, stepped in, getting one song of his own on the record when the band recut "Walk Away" before release. They earned their stripes on the road, playing the Vans Warped Tour in 2001 and 2002 and Ozzfest in 2002, and the album went on to sell more than 100,000 copies.

"Inside" is the one that hit rock radio: downtuned, clenched and churning, a pressure-cooker groove with the kind of screamed release nu metal lived on. The old demo resurfaced in 2006 as the second disc of Ghosts in the Machine.
