Introspective, probing lyrics define Switchfoot's sophomore effort, New Way to Be Human, which Charlie Peacock produced for his re: think label. In the 1990s, Peacock was best known for working with Christian rock and pop/rock artists -- he co-wrote Amy Grant's "Every Heartbeat" and had produced Sarah Masen, Michelle Tumes, and other Christian ...
With over two million copies sold of their 2003 breakthrough Beautiful Letdown, Switchfoot have finally found the universal audience they've been searching for since 1999's New Way to Be Human. Their CCM inspirations had always been more curious than self-righteous -- "We're all in this together, Jonathan Foremanwould sing in his lyrics, "so let's ...
Learning to Breathe, Switchfoot's third album, continues the band's welcome lack of religious didacticism, instead expressing its spiritual concerns in more universal terms. Don't think that Switchfoot ought to be more dogmatic to avoid compromising their beliefs, though; every song here is firmly rooted in Christian faith and philosophy, as well ...
Moving on somewhat from the epic and sincere post-grunge of their last two hit albums, 2003's Beautiful Letdown and 2005's Nothing Is Sound, California Christian-emo rockers Switchfoot deliver a lively and laid-back effort with 2006's Oh! Gravity. Perhaps influenced by the post-punk of such contemporaries as Franz Ferdinand and Futureheads, ...
Alternative CCM group's depressing 1997 release with lyrics that suggest they're about a murder/suicide attempt. The actual goal of the album isn't quite clear, nor is there any indication whatsoever whether Chin is a real or fictional person. The pictures of an individual of Asian descent, presumably Chin, seem real enough. Neither liner notes ...
Listen: Louder features contemporary songs by chart-topping Christian music artists like Rebecca St. James' ("Omega,"), the Newsboys with a remake of "Hallelujah," Chasing Furies' ("Your Faithfulness"), Audio Adrenaline ("It Is Well With My Soul"), the Waiting ("At Your Feet"), and Sarah Masen ("Psalm 139"). A representative compilation of timely, ...
BEC's Happy Christmas contains a selection of 18 holiday tunes performed by alternative CCM artists like the O.C. Supertones, Joy Electric, Chasing Furies, One Eighty, Seven Day Jesus, Switchfoot, House of Wires, Five Iron Frenzy, Starflyer 59, Pep Squad, Plankeye and Sarah Masen. Since alternative CCM is as broad a category as alternative rock ...
In 2002, alternative CCM rockers Switchfoot cribbed some wider exposure from Mandy Moore, contributing tracks to her film Walk to Remember. It was a good fit, as the film, like the Foot, strode toward the mainstream without forgetting its good-hearted ideals. They returned in February 2003 with the slick modern rock missive The Beautiful Letdown, ...
Anyone claiming to be even the slightest fan of modern rock was well acquainted with "the Foot" by the time this greatest-hits anthology was released. Even 12 years and six highly acclaimed albums after they first got together, Switchfoot still feel like the band you grew up with -- that memorably personal source of musical comfort that you always ...
