Switchblade Symphony
Switchblade Symphony was an American rock band from San Francisco, California. Their music combined orchestral sounds with heavy synth sequences and ethereal vocals to create a union of classical music and gothic rock. History Switchblade Symphony was formed in 1989 by composer Susan Wallace and vocalist Tina Root. The band's name refers to the cutting up elements of classical music to mix them with harder sounds. They released their first album in 1995 on the Cleopatra Records label. They also had two live guitarists, first Robin Jacobs (who later joined Razor Skyline) and then George Earth (most recently of Small Halo, also with Tina Root), and three live drummers, first Eric Gebow (now with Blue Man Group), Justin Clayton, and then Scott van Shoick. The band's second album, ''Bread and Jam for Frances'', was released in 1997. The album peaked at #119 on the CMJ Radio Top 200. Switchblade Symphony disbanded in November 1999. Subsequently, Tina Root started Tre Lux. ...

Bread And Jam For Frances
''Bread and Jam for Frances'' is the second studio album by Switchblade Symphony. It was recorded at Brilliant Studios in San Francisco and Private Island Trax in Hollywood and mastered at Private Island Trax. The original CD artwork erroneously listed 15 tracks, with "Harpsichord" at track 7, though that song was not on the CD and later pressings corrected the error. The positions of "Dirty Dog" and "roller Coaster" are also switched. The album peaked at #119 on the CMJ Radio Top 200. Critical reception Dean Carlson for ''AllMusic'' praised the album for taking the "darkwave pretensions of Switchblade Symphony's previous material and pushed it through an even more stylized electronic filter." Mark Jenkins for the ''Washington Post ''The Washington Post'' (also known as the ''Post'' and, informally, ''WaPo'') is an American daily newspaper published in Washington, D.C.
