Switchfoot is a awsome band.
Switchfoot Info
Switchfoot is an alternative rock / power pop / post-grunge band from San Diego, California, United States, whose lyrics focus on spiritual and social themes. The current members are Jon Foreman (vocals, guitar), Tim Foreman (bass, backing vocals), Chad Butler (drums), Jerome Fontamillas (guitar, keyboard, backing vocals), and Drew Shirley (guitar). Switchfoot gained mainstream recognition after the inclusion of four of their songs in the 2002 movie A Walk to Remember. This recognition led to their major label debut, The Beautiful Letdown, which was released in 2003, featuring their best-known single, "Meant to Live".
According to Jon Foreman, the name "Switchfoot" is a surfing term. "We all love to surf and have been surfing all our lives so to us, the name made sense. To switch your feet means to take a new stance facing the opposite direction. It's about change and movement, a different way of approaching life and music"
Band History
Switchfoot was founded in 1997 as Chin Up, consisting of Jon and his brother Tim, along with Chad on the drums. The band signed with Charlie Peacock's re:think Records, a division of Sparrow Records, in 1997, as Switchfoot. re:think would distribute their first three albums, The Legend of Chin, New Way to be Human and Learning to Breathe.

you understand what, issues like this could by no potential have an answer. the band isn't very almost the song, it is concerning to the impact it had on human beings, the ambience approximately rock and roll. some mistake this for the song, yet everyone knows of the stones and that they stimulated various the human beings interior the era so yeah, we are speaking various issues, no longer purely the song in case you get what I recommend. I could desire to admit i do in comparison to keith Richards for some motives .. i'm no longer likely to state right here because of the fact it is no longer section if the question yet once you think of roughly them they're a extensive image in rock and that's that. Ifthey are overvalued in song it is an opinion.

I like The Beautiful Letdown a lot. Thats their only album I am familiar with. My favorite song is Dare You To Move. I am so glad a Christian band like this is being heard and appreciated in the mainstream marketplace. I hope their message is getting across.
