biographical info
Gilbert Switzer formed in July 2004 in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Their goal was to play original sounding punk rock songs in the simplest way possible. Their drum kit consists of a snare, a floor tom and a broken cymbal. They have no bass player; all three members set up at the front of the playing area to more effectively confront the audience. Their lyrics are inspired by Surrealism, trashy horror films and random Darby Crash quotes. Gilbert Switzer have released a 9-song CD-R, "Don't Stop The Film" and a 17-song studio/live cassette, "American Idols". They have toured eastern Canada and hope to do so again, while continuing to cause trouble and do damage in their home city of Halifax.
