Switchfoot is a surfing term that Jon, Tim , and Chad decided to call the band when the three of them met in the mid-90's
due to their mutual love for the sport. Though they competed in national surfing championships on weekends, what drew them
together was their general love for music. After only 20 gigs, they signed with a record company and realized their first
album (Legend of Chin) in 1997. The fouth member of the band, Jerome Fontamillas joined in January
of 2001 with the release of the band's third album, Learning to Breathe. A fifth foot, "guitar wizard" Drew Shirley
joined May of 2005. The Beautiful Letdown has been their fourth and fastest-selling album to date, becoming double platinum
certified spring of 2005. The band is currently polishing off their fifth album, Nothing Is Sound now due out September
13th of 2005.
