Music reviews. CD reviews. Critically hip!

With their first release, Blindswitch hits a home run.  Singer David Litvinsky’s selections are filled with unique and catchy chord progressions that will spin inside your head well after the music stops.  Blindswitch may be just what you need to fill that catchy Pop Rock hole in your life.

Blindswitch has traveled across the country and played in over 15 cities in the Northwest, rapidly gaining popularity with each venue.  Litvinsky, 27, has been the guiding influence behind Blindswitch and it’s music.  His musical inspirations range from “The Beatles” to “The Cure” even Neil Young, all of which are noticeably present in his musical creations.  Blindswitch’s sound has been compared to bands such as “Soundgarden,” “The Used,” and “Weezer.”

Formed in 2005, David began writing “Shadows On The Wall” in September and was finished a short 3 months later – an impressive feat by anyone’s standards.  “It all went by so fast, the songs just started coming.” The humble front man says.  “I would wake up in the morning and run over to my recorder and hum or sing a melody into it.  From there it just grew into a song.”  The next step for David was to see what the masses thought. “I wanted to see if people liked the tunes, so I put my first 2 songs up on myspace.”  Tracks such as “Little Girl” were instant hits. “I was blown away at the reaction the songs got.  I never expected it. This reaction gave me the confidence to continue writing.”  Their first album was released in first week of April 2006.

The CD, “Shadows On The Wall” is an album of tracks about love gone right, love gone wrong and everything in between.  The band’s unique sound, combined with his ultra catchy melodies, will have you playing air guitar, singing along and replaying the album over and over and over again.  So check it out.
