Switchfoot is an alternative rock band from San Diego, California, United States. 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). Known
for their energetic live show,the three guitarists in the line-up often operate simultaneously,building on the pop sensibilities of Jon's songwriting,
and,roundedout by Jerome's work onthe synthesizer, bringing his Industrial roots to the sound, the band works up "the Switchfoot sound" - a
melodic crunch of densely layered sound featuring some electronic experimentation, and often driven by hard-charging guitar riffs, while
throwing in a few softer, spacey ballads as well.
Switchfoot first 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 and sold over 2.6 million copies as well as featuring their
best-known singles, "Meant to Live" and "Dare You to Move".
According to Jon Foreman, the name "Switchfoot" is a surfing term. "We all love to surf and have been surfing all our lives so tous,
thenamemadesense. To switch your feet means to take a new stance facing the opposite direction. It's about change andmovement, a different
way of approaching life and music". « hide |
