a few years ago i heard them from a friend of a friend. also played meant to live and learning to breathe as covers in gigs before. i like them cuz they have a wide range but also dont like some of their songs. like 'gone' lol, too different imo. i like meant to live and this is your life the best. they're kinda inactive now arent they? but from that friend of a friend, i heard they're making an album for next year. dunno if its true. |

Yay! Someone made a new Switchfoot thread. I kind of stopped listening to them. My style has shifted . . . More into Classical and soft rock/pop now. But the Switchfoot listening days were great. |

http://youtube.com/watch?v=djZMqZMtPC4 I love switchfoot too, I was browsing thru tele when I heard We Are One Tonight and i just fell n love with that song. I like how they are a guitar laden band (they've got 3 guitarists in it) and their songs doesn't sound too popish. And yes, they are working on a new album.My current favorites are Awakening and Let Your Love Be Strong. |

YEA I've SEEN ALL OF THE PODCASTS they are soooo funny hahaha i love them And u know they're now an indie band haha. cuz they had some conflict with their recording label and just decided to go independent. haha, they definitely have the resources haha they're constantly sending out new things lol, they've been around for so long yet they're just as amazing as always. yeah the band is packed with talent. three guitars if needed, jerome can do synth and keyboard no problem, their sound is so full. mannn and they're all so down to earth, no like cockness at all, like i saw a vid of them hanging with some fans after a concert, and someone sed theres another concert somewhere else, and they're like OH lets go... but we dont have a ride... lol and then they rode in one of the fans' car hahaha. sooo down to earth, and especially if u see like jon foreman on the street or something and u ask him, he'll just like chat with u, they're so awesome haha and in their interviews they're so humble haha |

INDIE BANDS ROCK! there's a band in Malaysia who plays Switchoot style, lots of reverb and delay but dresses like Muse hahaha Humbleness = they really do enjoy music rather than enjoying making money. I think. And yea, its so cool to see him having a LP strapped with him and playing the keyboard at the same time |

switchfoot are great! i love them!
:D i got hooked on switchfoot back in 1999 when i heard "new way to be human" on a free cd with lots of other christian stuff on. too bad i didn't have any money to buy their albums back then. :P got their three first ones now, though (even though their later are better). anyone else here that thinks that Oh! Gravity is a masterpiece? i love it! especially Faust, Midas and Myself. excellent song. and the Awakening MV was really funny, reminded me of how fun guitar hero is. anyway, awesome band. not counting j-music, they're the ones i listen most to. :) |

^ cool video!
:D man, i wish i could attend a switchfoot concert... everyone in the audience knew all the lyrics. :P and yeah, i've been a fan since quite a while back, but i actually didn't know that they were as big as they were until a year back or so. i thought they only were big among christians, i was a bit surprised to hear that a couple of my classmates listened to them. and they were surprised when i told them that switchfoot were christians. either way, it's great that they're big, because they certainly deserve it. :good edit: woot, my 100th post. :D |

yep they're awesome. i went to their concert once here in toronto. i was RIGHT in front of them.. basically i was deaf after that. hahaha but they were sooo awesome. they sound even BETTER live haha, unlike other artists and yep, they're christian which is so awesome, cuz they are so mainstream too... but somehow they still arent as big as some other superstar artists out there.... i think it probably is because of the fact that they're christian... that just sucks |

^ he, i always think it's wrong when people say "Dare You to Move" (the title on The Beautiful Letdown) instead of "I Dare You to Move" (the title of the same song on "Learning to Breathe"). i find it kinda interesting that they released the same song under another name. or just a bit weird. great song, btw. |

It's not as easy writing personal faith into lyrics.. because it greatly depends on the record company. Since, they're in mainstream now, the producers will be more fussy about what they write in their songs etc. mangomalte So, maybe that's why the song title changed to, "Dare You to Move" instead keeping "I" in the song because it might have been a reference to God. *Shrugs* It could be request from the record company or industry itself. The Fray, and Relient K too. They're Christians bands in the secular music industry, not super big, but they're getting known for their music and they're still strong in their faith. :) |

well its possible, but however, switchfoot just went indie, because of conflicts with their record label. if they had conflicts before, they would've left a while ago.. because knowing them, they are really strong christians and probably wouldn't listen to what other people say about them.. actually i think these christian secular bands try to make themselves seem as if they weren't christian music to get a bigger range of audience. just like evanescence they used to be christian but they strongly denounced and refused to accept that label a long time ago. but they are a more extreme case. but somehow they arent super hits possibly because people know they're christian tho they dont make it an obvious thing and they just dont want to give them a chance. tahts just wt i think |

I'm not too familiar with The Fray, but it seems like their record company didn't want them to write any 'religious' content in their lyrics. Essentially, the reason why they go secular is to get a bigger fan group, but so far, it seems like Relient K is doing quite well. Even though, not ALL their songs are Christian-based now because they're partly in mainstream now, they still able to put 2 or 3 songs into their album that God-driven. They're still part of their original Christian record label, Gotee Records. Also with Capitol Records + EMI Music Group. I have friends who listen to them who are non-Christians, and they love the band's music but still respect the band's faith in Christianity. A few of them were curious about Christianity after listening to a few of their songs too... a nice way to start a little small-talk about God.. don't you think? Haha. Yeah... Evanescence is another story. A few of their songs are nice.. well, you know, everyone changes, and ultimately we all choose our own path... *shrugs* |

i've heard of them, but i haven't heard their music. the christian stuff i listen to are mostly (except switchfoot) jars of clay, sixpence none the richer, delirious?, pfr, newsboys, tait etc. oh, btw, anyone else listening to all together separate, the band Andrew Shirley (newest member of swirtchfoot) played lead guitar in? they only released two albums, but those are great. |

Reviving this thread. This band/group rocks! I had their song, "This is your life", on repeat on my ipod a few years ago, it was such a good song. Is there anything new with them? Are they still making music? |
