Switchfoot is an alternative rock

band from San Diego, California, United States,

known for its spiritually evocative and socially

aware lyricism. 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). With three guitarists

in the line-up often operating simultaneously,

and Jerome's work on the synthesizer, the band

works up a densely layered sound that's melodic

and catchy, often driven by guitar riffs.


Switchfoot 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, 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 to us, the name

made sense. 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".
