THE SWITCH
ANNOUNCE 
DEBUT ALBUM
“NO WAY OUT”
SET FOR RELEASE ON SEPTEMBER 12, 2025
VIA FRONTIERS MUSIC SRL

Powerhouse newcomers The Switch are excited to announce the release of their debut album “No Way Out”, set for release on September 5, 2025, via Frontiers Music Srl.
The first track and official video, “Danger On The Loose”, are also out today, giving a taste of what to expect from the record.

Canadian vocalist Bobby John, twin brothers Tom and James Martin (ex-Vega, Nitrate) and Swedish bassist Dennis Butabi Borg (Cruzh) join forces for this new project.

“No Way Out” has been a labour of love, the listeners are gonna get zapped back to the mid 80’s for a nostalgic trip back to the sound we all fell in love with!”, Tom Martin commented.

Talking about the first single, he added: “This song is a real summer anthem! It was written on a walk home one day… Like it was sent from above! And we have Paul Laine orchestrating and singing the backing vocals so he adds the final magic”.

Tom and James Martin first heard Bobby singing a song they had written with Eddie LaValle and instantly knew they had to work with him. 

James Martin explained: “I rang Tom up one morning after hearing Bobby sing and told him that he was our guy – we knew straight away we had the right combination with him”.

The brothers then asked their long-term friend and musical collaborator Dennis Butabi Borg if he’d like to play bass on the entire album and join the group. 

Tom Martin said: “It’s the best work we’ve ever been part of: James and I never had complete control of an album with writing and mix, so it’s completely to our taste”.

Butabi added: “I couldn’t agree more, after I’d heard the first demo there was no doubt that I wanted a part of this excellent cocktail of fun, retro vibes that reminds me of growing up in the 80’s. It’s like steering a Testarossa in the Outrun arcade machine while chewing Juicy Fruits and cranking music on your walkman. This is 100% the kind of feel-good album that the world needs in these times”.

Not only is The Switch a powerhouse group, but the album was written with a theme. Imagine a movie coming out in the 1980’s that gripped the world the same way 80s classics like “Back To The Future” did, but in a parallel universe.

That movie is called “The Switch” and it’s about a band that goes on a US tour, and encounters trouble with an underworld mob. In a cruel twist of fate, the band must swap guitars for deadly weapons and end up in the ultimate fight for survival. It was the biggest movie of 1987 and spawned this huge soundtrack which you can hear on “No Way Out”!
