"Dark punk conceived during your hottest nightmares...Songs of Love, Murder and Vengeance ..When there's nothing left to fight for we fight for salvation...
"Conceived in fire, from the ashes of The Albino Spiders, is the cult- Switchblade Saturdays. An ambitiously hard-hitting band, well-traveled, with a strong foundation within their home base, Des Moines, IA. Switchblade Saturdays is known for their amazing live show, dark imagery and stage presence with a passionate background anthem haunting of love, loss, death, and life. Switchblade has woven their blood into every lyric and every melody, 'We bring the crowd into our music the way a phantom entices it’s prey...we play every show as if it were our last, with a vengeance!' hisses Zarrie Solum, lead vocalist/bassist and founding member. 'Our fans are our family and blood!!' says Switchblade, who’s fans are reminiscent of a cult or gang displaying the Switchblade Saturdays logo patches, buttons, and bandanna’s. Pumping fists, chanting, singing, fans hang onto every harrowing word of talented lead singer Zarrie. The music is brought into harmonious alignment with Josh Darnell on guitar / background vocals and rounded out with Ben Watson thundering rhythms only ones’ heart could dream.
"The Switchblade sound was formed by the take of various influences, Misfits, The Damned, AFI, Alkaline Trio, Dillinger 4, Guns n Roses and Social Distortion. 'I took a little influence from each band and wanted to have a live show reminiscent of the old days of Alice Cooper, Kiss, and Iron Maiden' hails Solum. 'Our sound is shedding it’s skin and being reborn.'...
Switchblade storms, “We are preparing for war! KNIVES OUT!!!"
