Aussie rockers Switch 3 bring their febrile mash-up of punk, metal and melody to Japan for a tour that includes a three-night trawl of Tokyo’s live houses. Formed in Canberra in 2002, founders brothers Maf and Ben Davis drew on influences from The Cure to Iron Maiden to create an amalgam of styles that combines layered guitars with virtuosic drumming. For a taste of what to expect check out their latest album Calm Before, an aural assault that takes a darker turn than Switch 3’s previous work.
