Phoenix Down is a blasting, down-tuned hard rock debut album by Dirtswitch. The 12 tracks feature everything from hi-octane mayhem on 'Too Much' or 'Sulfur', passing seamlessly to the Middle-East-inspired riffage of 'Comatose' and finally ending with the enchanting passing chords of 'Today'. Influenced by major grunge and post-grunge bands of the past two decades, such as Alter Bridge, Soundgarden, King's X or Shinedown, and fueled by heavy guitars, Phoenix Down gives back to contemporary modern rock the raw edge that had almost been forsaken by today's mainstream rock artists. Phoenix Down is something that should be in everyone's rock library.
