San Francisco's Switchblade Symphony are a band that truly lives up to their name. According to member Tina Root, the group set out to take the intricacy of a symphony and "cut it up like with a blade and put into the symphony guitar, hard drums and different character type voices." Combining orchestral sounds with heavy sequences and ethereal vocals, the group has come up with a highly original gothic sound that really can't be compared to anything else out there.
