Switches toured with The Rakes, The Automatic, Graham Coxon and played the Reading and Leeds Festivals.

The band's debut album, Heart Tuned To D.E.A.D., was released on 23 April 2007, preceded by their second official single, a re-recording of "Lay Down The Law".

At the start of 2008, Thom Kirkpatrick (bass) and Steve Godfrey (drums) replaced original members Max Tite and James Gardiner.

Switches released their first American album, Lay Down the Law, on 18 March 2008 upon completion of their US tour with New York-based band, The Bravery.

Founding members Matt Bishop and Ollie Thomas have since formed the band Flash Fiktion.
