Fans of glam rock have another album to add to their collection.

“Lay Down the Law,” the U.S. debut album from London powerpop quartet, Switches, delivers high-energy, dance-rock bliss. With dead-on multipart harmonies, pounding rhythms and catchy guitar riffs, Switches leaves their listeners wound up and wanting more.

“Lay Down the Law” is 11 tracks of musical musings in the tradition of a variety of master predecessors. From the Beach Boys to David Bowie, the White Stripes to Queen, Switches manages to reproduce the effects of other artists while retaining its own signature sound and style.

The token power ballad on the album is “The Need to be Needed,” an eerie ode to Maura, a troubled girl whose “lover has run off with a younger girl.” Lead singer Matty Bishop takes his vocals to a falsetto for this one, a risky move that he pulls off well.

Switches apparently has a sense of humor, noticeable in the minor piano-driven song, “Stepkids in Love.” Though the lyrics are a little creepy and border on incestuous, the song is upbeat and one of the better-written tracks on the album.

And for the rock star wannabes and cover bands out there, Switches is here to help. They’ve filled the liner notes with more than just lyrics. The guitar chords are also printed for their fellow musicians’ playing pleasure.

Though “Lay Down the Law” isn’t especially original or a masterpiece of musicianship, it’s a fun, danceable assortment of undeniably listenable pop songs – a suitable addition for anyone’s iPod.
