Switchfoot Biography

Switchfoot is an alternative rock band from San Diego, California. The band's members are Jon Foreman (lead vocals, guitar), Tim Foreman (bass guitar, backing vocals), Chad Butler (drums, percussion), Jerome Fontamillas (guitar, keyboards, backing vocals), and Drew Shirley (guitar, backing vocals).

After early successes in the Christian rock scene, Switchfoot first gained mainstream recognition with 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 featured the hits "Meant to Live" and "Dare You to Move." It went on to sell over 2.6 million copies. They have since been noted for their energetic live shows, and their seventh studio album, Hello Hurricane, received a Grammy Award in 2011 for Best Rock Gospel Album.

Switchfoot's music straddles the line between Christian and mainstream music. Jon Foreman has compared the Christian undertones of his music to the undertones of C.S. Lewis's books.

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," Foreman said. "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."
