      Switchin' To Glide is one of those songs you would crank up in your car for the ride home after working all week. A great high energy rock tune is perfect to launch you into the weekend. The B side is great too, and also received some airplay. Thanks to Bob Ezrin's production work, The Kings pulled out a respectable debut album but, Switchin' To Glide is the crowning jewel and remains effective at raising the ol adrenaline level.
