SBG’s self-titled debut release engineered and mixed by legendary Andy Johns in 2011, shot out of the gate hard hitting with memorable guitar riffs and amazing melodies driven by Lukas Rossi’s powerful vocals. SBG was up for consideration in the 2012 Grammy Music Awards, and won “Best Metal Band” in the 2012 Artist in Music Independent Music Awards.
Switchblade Glory have returned delivering their long-awaited sophomore album ‘Human Toys’ after a multi-year hiatus. Lead vocalist, Lukas Rossi and guitar player, Steve Polin created this filthy but yet sexy sound by combining their two different musical backgrounds. The title track and first single ‘Human Toys’ is a perfect cross-over in the hard rock genre that flirts with an alternative rock influence that is sure to be a smash! Their sophomore album ‘Human Toys’ bleeds southern, gritty, in your face, nasty rock tracks with a haunting aftertaste. Fueled by heavy guitar riffs, soaring powerful vocals, and infectious beats that have you begging for more. Rossi’s vocal has so much personality and swagger that he keeps you engaged from his first word. Somehow, all of the songs sound instantly classic with every track as strong as the one before it!
The meaning behind the title track ‘Human Toys’ can be interpreted in many ways and delivers that big authentic rock sound that we always crave. The chorus has an anthem like quality that makes you want to raise your fists and sing along. On the single, Rossi states, “The music video is based on self doubt and our insecurities and how sometimes we focus too much on our outer beauty when all that matters is the beauty inside, and therein lies a dysmorphia of self-worth and image. We are all beautiful, original, and one of a kind for a reason..to share our beautiful differences with each other.”
Human Toys is available now on all streaming platforms and iTunes/Apple Music.
