Birdseye

'Downbeat Switch is a rock & roll band that incorporates funky guitar riffs and intriguing rhythmic gymnastics into their groove-oriented sound, which is topped off with dueling male-female lead vocals that incorporate a hip-hop influence into their catchy, melodic sound.' -RVA MAGAZINE 'Throwing traditional jam-band rock out the window and putting their own spin on it, the members of Downbeat Switch add elements of jazz and funk into their music and deliver an upbeat, energetic set guaranteed to get the crowd moving.' -STYLE WEEKLY 'Downbeat Switch are able to create a deep, lush sound that just reaches out and carries you away. From the very first song Jenna's voice really stole the show. She had incredible range in both pitch and volume, but her real specialty was a deep, sultry wail.' -MAGAZINE 33 'You can tell these guys have been playing together for more than a decade. They take great care in their mix and they play louder than hell, so their elemental differences really stand out. Jenna Be was absolutely belting it out in solid vocal harmony with guitarist Meredith Brooks. I had a profound moment, during a stream of rolling bass and muted heavy guitar, in which I felt like I was running through the end level of a video game, about to face the end guy. And I wasn't even stoned. Downbeat Switch is one of Richmond's jewels; they're professionally tight as shit and I can only assume that they'll keep getting better.' -RVAMAG.
