We released The Beautiful Letdown 20 years ago today! We could have never even dreamed that the album we thought might be our last would catapult us onto 2 decades of the wildest and best rollercoaster you could ever imagine. Thank you for being a part of our story. Much love!

Happy birthday to an album that began a new phase of life for our little scrappy band of brothers. Singing a chorus of triumphant defeat:.I don't belong here.I don't belong here.I will carry a cross and a song where I don't belong.#TheBeautifulLetdown #switchfoot

Happy Birthday to Fading West! Speaking of movies, we've been tossing around the idea of telling our story as a band. Most of who we are is a story that we've never talked about before. The untold story of Switchfoot. Are there folks out there who would be interested that movie?

14 years ago today, we released our 5th album: “Nothing is Sound.”. It wasn’t the happy, clappy radio album that our record label might’ve wanted. Instead, it was a yearning, longing, album, echoing the words of the scriptures: “Meaningless. Meaningless. All is meaningless.”

13 years ago today we released Oh! Gravity! .It was a turbulent record that reflected a tumultuous time: an entire album album asking “sons of my enemies, why can’t we keep it together?” Since then, everything has changed. and yet, these songs still seem more poignant.

You might know the songs, but you probably don’t know the full story behind The Beautiful Letdown. This album almost never came out: right before the release we got dropped by our record label. And now, 20 years later… we’re taking it back. Thanks to all of you… Stay tuned…

“Nothing Is Sound" turns 13 today! In so many ways 2005 seems as if it were yesterday and in many others, it feels as if it was another lifetime. 13 years ago nothing was secure, nothing was dependable, nothing was sound. Now more than ever,.#NOTHINGISSOUND

Hatred and racism have no place in our country. In our lives. Violence gives birth to violence, hatred gives birth to hatred. But love alone can end this cycle. Do not drink this poison of violence. Hatred and fear are not your mother language. Love is your native tongue. 2/2.

The Beautiful Letdown album inspired me to become a musician and songwriter. It is front to back one of my favorite albums of all time. As a kid, I would go to concerts to see Switchfoot with my brother Kevin in our Jean jackets… Singing every word out! The first song I ever
