Switchfoot

The story starts in a California garage with the Foreman brothers and drummer Chad Butler. Armed with surfboards and cheap electric guitars, the plan was to finish college. But the indie record deal from RE:Think records offered the chance to go explore the world. And that’s just what they did. Three records later (The Legend of Chin, New Way To Be Human, and Learning To Breathe), the Foreman brothers dropped out of UCSD to pursue music a bit more seriously. Enter multi-instrumentalist Jerome Fontamillas and tone-wizard Drew Shirley.

In 2003, this band of surfer dropouts signed to Columbia records. What started as a high school garage band was now a band with multiple songs in the top 40. “Dare You to Move” and “Meant to Live” took The Beautiful Letdown to double platinum, climbing charts and gaining speed. But rather than lean into the newfound success, they chose to release a darker existential rock record questioning the establishment in Nothing Is Sound.

Then came Katrina. The hurricane swept through the south, destroying homes and lives. The band underwent a metaphorical hurricane of their own, and after parting ways with Columbia, SWITCHFOOT launched their own label, Lowercase People Records. From the storm came the anthem, “You Can’t Silence My Love.” Hello Hurricane, their seventh studio album, came out shooting darts, with ripping guitars and energetic melodies.

Shortly after, Vice Verses, the groove-oriented follow-up to Hello Hurricane, connected listeners with stories inspired by the homeless youth in San Diego County.

Fading West, a pop alter-ego and film documentary, chronicles the band’s journey through Australia, Indonesia, New Zealand, and parts of America looking for inspiration. The film underscores the band’s quest for adventure, belonging, and journey for home.

Instead of just looking for hope in the form of song, the band consistently finds ways to give back to their community. Partnerships with Habitat for Humanity, TWLOHA, and most notably their annual event The SWITCHFOOT BRO-AM. The event is now 12 years old, giving hope and funding to at-risk youth in their hometown of San Diego.
