Cleveland, United States (1999 – present)

Switched (previously depicted as Sw1tched) are a nu metal music group from Cleveland, Ohio.

Forming in 1999 as Sw1tch, the band played shows around Ohio and released a demo entitled Fuckin’ Demo. The songs “Anymore”, “Wrongside”, “Inside”, “Darkening Days”, “Last Chance”, and “Skins”, which appear in their demo versions on this CD, went on to appear on the Subject to Change album. This demo was later re-released on disc two of the “Ghosts in the Machine” album in 2006. Since a funk band already had rights to the name Switch, the band had to change their name to Sw1tched, and was later signed to Immortal/Virgin Records. After recording all of the bass for the Subject to Change album, bassist Shawn May left the band for unknown reasons, and was replaced by Chimaira drum tech Jason French. French did play bass on one song on the album, though, since the band re-recorded the song “Walk Away” before the album was released.

Switched rose to prominence playing at popular festivals such as Ozzfest in 2002 and on the Vans Warped Tour in 2001 and 2002. Their debut album titled, Subject to Change was released via Immortal/Virgin Records in 2002, and went on to sell over 100,000 records worldwide.

Sometime before the band began work on their second album, they fired bassist Jason French for unknown reasons. They then replaced him with former Stereomud/Stuck Mojo bassist Corey Lowery, who would eventually leave the band to join Dark New Day. They also parted ways with drummer Chad Szeliga sometime in this time period, and as a result, most of the drums on the “Ghosts in the Machine” album are programmed.
