Switchfoot

The roots of this Alternative-Rock Christian-Rock band can be traced back to the beaches of San Diego, California USA, in the mid-'90s, when Jonathan Foreman, his brother Tim and Chad Butler connected as surfers; though they competed in national surf championships on weekends and earned product endorsements from equipment companies, the real bond came from a common love of music. They decided to form a band, with Jonathan on guitar and vocals, Tim on bass and Butler on drums, they then chose the name Switchfoot, a surfing term, put themselves through months of sweaty garage band workouts and hit the road.

Signing to re:Think Records, the trio released "The Legend Of Chin" in June 1997.
Two years later Switchfoot returned to release their sophomore effort, "New Way To Be Human", which reached the #21 on the U.S. Top Contemporary Christian Albums chart.
Keyboardist Jerome Fontamillas joined Switchfoot in 2000 as a session player on the band's independently released "Learning To Breathe", this album matched its predecessor's performance peaking at #23 on Billboard's Top Contemporary Christian list.
The group re-emerged two and a half years later, in February 2003, with the fourth full-length disc, the Columbia/RED Ink debut "The Beautiful Letdown", the record quickly climbed into the top 3 of The Contemporary Christian Albums chart; after debuting at #85 on The Billboard 200, the album slowly scaled the chart, peaking at #16 in July 2004; the first single, "Meant To Live", peaked at #5 on Modern Rock chart and cracked the top 20 of The Billboard Hot 100; the follow-up single, "Dare You To Move", reached the #17 spot on The Billboard Hot 100 and also hit the top 10 of The Modern Rock Tracks chart. Meanwhile, the band has been tearing up venues across the country during a three-month sold-out headlining tour. In addition to selling out four nights in Los Angeles, the quartet shared festival stages with the likes of Jane's Addiction and Audioslave.

Switchfoot drops its next album, "Nothing Is Sound", in September 2005, it includes the single "Stars".
