Switchblade Scarlett: or as the critics like to call them, “the band that just might save Rock & Roll,” is dirty, dangerous, and the stuff of which legends are made. Some bands like to play Guitar Hero in their spare time; Switchblade Scarlett are guitar heroes—heck, they are bass and drum heroes as well. The four members of the band, who were already renowned musicians individually, met while they were all teaching at School of Rock in Cleveland, and decided that it was time to take over the world. Slowly but surely, that seems to be what the group is doing. Currently, SS is gearing up for a video shoot in January and finishing their debut CD with producer Bryan Patrick at The Jungle Studio, for which they are already receiving attention from major labels. In addition to making a frickin' sick old-school rock n’ roll album, the band also puts on one of the best live shows in the business, featuring not only the group’s chart-worthy original tunes, but some amazing covers from some of rock’s biggest bands with a very Switchblade Scarlett twist. If you get the chance, do yourself and the world a favor: Buy their songs, see their shows and wear their t-shirts.
