Keeping it fun and brutal!

As some of you may or may not have heard Kill Switch is taking a break after our next 2 or 3 shows. Troubles that have come up in some of our lives away from the band have unfortunately made themselves a priority, as troubles often do. You may ask yourself "Is this the end of Kill Switch?" Our answer is.. . we sure don't want it to be.

That being said, Kill Switch would like to thank our friends and fans for all the support they have given us over the last few years. We love you all, and hope you can attend some of our pre-break shows!

Which brings me to my next point:

Kill Switch shows!! Check out our tour section to find out where to see Kill Switch before we take some time off.

Hey troops!  Just a quick couple of updates for ya.

If you haven't had the funds at a show ..wine is fine but whiskey is quicker ;) or
just haven't had a chance to pick up the CD...they're now available at both Tune Town and Rhapsody Music in Mankato(online purchases coming up also).  They're $3  cheaper at Rhapsody. Due to their support of the local music scene. (they are kind  enough to sell them at cost)...Thanks Rhapsody!

We took time off in June to let a couple of the boys work out of town but fret not!  There's some really cool shows coming up in July, August and quite possibly a VICIOUS Halloween bash.

Also, take a couple of seconds to e-mail Patrick at 93X (loudandlocal@93xrocks.com)
and tell him you'd like to hear Kill Switch get played on Loud & Local.

We're going to be playing this coming weekend 7/22 at the What's Up Lounge opening up for some old friends Abberance.
Make sure and check the "tour" section for more upcoming dates in the NEAR future.
