View More By Switchfoot Our ReviewRoaring back on a new label with a retooled sound, Switchfoot turns Hello Hurricane into a triumphant statement of purpose. It's not that the album is free from fear and doubt — lead singer/songwriter Jon Foreman grapples with a host of inner afflictions in these tracks. But the strength of Hello Hurricane comes from its sense of spiritual victory in the face of overwhelming odds, aided by some of the brawniest rock the band has laid down since its inception. Distorted guitars and clattering rhythms lend urgency to “Needle and Haystack Life,” “The Sound (John M. Perkins’ Blues),” and “Bullet Soul.” Foreman takes on a desperate edge in tracks like the galvanizing title song, snatching joy from impending disaster. Emotional breakdown — and the promise of spiritual rebirth — is a reoccurring theme, captured with fevered eloquence in “Free” and “Mess of Me.” In contrast, “Your Love Is a Song” and “Enough to Let Me Go” are more contemplative visions of man’s relationship with God. “Always,” a delicately wrought expression of love between parent and child, may be the album’s most affecting moment.. Customer ReviewsThe Spiritual Successor to The Beautiful Letdown! Their Best in a Long Time (if Not All Time) (5 stars)Switchfoot’s 7th album (3rd after their mainstream hit Beautiful Letdown) signals a rebirth for the band that in many ways parallels Beautiful Letdown. Like that album, this was their first time recording independently without the pressures of a major record contract (they had parted ways with Columbia in 2008 and negotiated their current deal with Atlantic only after finishing the album). In fact, it was a challenging 2 years working on t Pure Switchfoot, Pure amazingness! (5 stars) This album is a work of art and will probably end up being one of my favorite Switchfoot CDs. I was fortunate enough to not only be among the first to hear some of these songs performed in front of an audience, but also got the CD two days early. These songs are among the best Switchfoot has ever written. They perfectly pair Jon Foreman's thoughtful and deep lyrics with the entire band's great musicality. When I heard Free live, I was so mov Never disappointed in Switchfoot (5 stars) 3 things you can always count on: death, taxes and the latest Switchfoot record will challenge, inspire, expose and rock. Thank you guys for another artistic musical ride. BiographyFormed: 1996 in San Diego, CAGenre: Rock Years Active: '90s, '00s, '10s After gaining a foothold in the contemporary Christian music scene, Switchfoot went mainstream with 2003's The Beautiful Letdown, a double-platinum album that straddled the line between sacred and secular rock music. The band spent the rest of its career appealing to both camps. Years before Switchfoot's commercial breakthrough, though, the group struggled to make a dent in the San Diego area, where singer/guitarist Jonathan Foreman, bassist Tim Foreman, and drummer Chad Butler began playing together...
