Band call on their fans for help

Switches are calling on their fans to help them choose a cover track for their forthcoming single.

The London four-piece plan to cover one of five songs as a digital B-side for their next single 'Lay Down The Law'.

Voting closes next Tuesday (April 10), and you can register your vote at competitions@atlanticrecords.co.uk.
