Switchfoot Biography
Originally called Chin Up, Switchfoot was formed in 1996 in San
Diego, CA, by singer/guitarist Jonathan Foreman and his bassist brother
Tim Foreman. With the addition of drummer Chad Butler, the band's name
switched to Switchfoot (a surfing term) and they recorded their debut
LP, 1997's The Legend of Chin, for Charlie Peacock's re:Think imprint.
New Way to Be Human followed two years later; it was a huge hit, with
the title track garnering a 1999 Dove Award for Song of the Year.
Keyboardist Jerome Fontamillas joined up for 2000's Learning to
Breathe, which found Switchfoot taking more steps toward mainstream
modern rock. Breathe would prove to be a transition album for the
group, and their first to sell over 500,000 copies. Its success,
together with their significant presence on the hit soundtrack to the
2002 Mandy Moore vehicle A Walk to Remember, set Switchfoot up for a
major-label run. The Beautiful Letdown, their Columbia/RED debut,
dropped in spring 2003; it represented the quartet's full evolution
toward a more accessible mainstream sound. The album eventually went
double platinum on the strength of constant touring and the radio hits
Dare You to Move and Meant to Live. It hit number one on
Billboard's Christian Albums chart and number 16 on the Top 200. In
September 2005 Switchfoot returned with their fifth album, Nothing Is
Sound, their first Top Ten hit on the Top 200 (debuting at number
three); the album went gold. It sparked another radio hit in Stars,
and was the first Switchfoot recording to include the work of
additional guitarist Andrew Shirley (formerly of the contemporary
Christian group All Together Separate), who had been a touring member
of Switchfoot since 2003. Wasting little time, the band was soon back
in the studio with veteran U.K. producer Tim Palmer (U2, the Cure,
etc.) to begin work on their sixth album, one that found the guys
broadening their musical scope; Oh! Gravity. then appeared at the tail
end of 2006. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide
