SWITCHFOOT MAKING NOISE WITH “THE SOUND”

Switchfoot’s HELLO HURRICANE is storming up the album charts again thanks to a new hit single. “The Sound” has jumped fourteen notches to No. 5 on the Most Played List at world famous Los Angeles radio station KROQ and was named the No. 1 video of the week by afternoon drive-time host Stryker.


The San Diego rock band gave the inspiring civil rights tune a workout at the recent Lollapalooza festival in Chicago. Check out that performance along with some cool band interviews here. Another Switchfoot track, “Your Love Is a Song,” is climbing Billboard’s Christian Songs playlist, making HELLO HURRICANE this week’s Greatest Gainer on the Christian Albums chart.

San Diego’s Switchfoot entertained a hometown crowd last week at its fifth annual Bro-Am event—a surfing contest, private auction, and two concerts to raise funds and awareness for StandUp for Kids, an organization helping at-risk and homeless youth.

In this interview promoting the event, Switchfoot drummer Chad Butler shares the heart of the cause and also gives some sneak preview details about the band’s next studio set, HELLO HURRICANE, available this fall.
