Switchfoot
Switchfoot was formed in San Diego, CA, by singer/guitarist Jonathan Foreman and his bassist brother Tim Forman. With the addition of drummer Chad Butler the band recorded their debut LP, 1997's The Legend of Chin, appearing on 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 Jermoe 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. 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, the Columbia/RED debut, dropped in spring 2003; it represented the quartet's evolution toward a more accessible sound. ..
