[[Switchfoot]] are an alternative rock band from San Diego, California. The band's members are Jon Foreman (lead vocals, guitar), Tim Foreman (bass guitar, backing vocals), Chad Butler (drums, percussion), Jerome Fontamillas (guitar, keyboards, backing vocals, accordion, pretty much everything else, really ), and Drew Shirley (guitar, backing vocals).
Formed in 1996, the Foreman brothers, sons of a local Baptist preacher, got fellow bandmate Chad Butler together and started recording music. They were then discovered by producer [[Charlie Peacock]] who signed them to his re:think indie label and produced their second and third albums. Their first three albums, ''The Legend Of Chin'' (1997), ''New Way To Be Human'' (1999), and ''Learning To Breathe'' (2000) helped the band gain some indie status, and also snagged them a few Grammy nominations for Christian music.
Line 13:
They're unique for not being blatantly Christian and being able to appeal to audiences of all kinds. They have some surf rock and punk influences, but many listeners have trouble separating them from other post-grunge bands.

* [[Album Title Drop]]: ''Nothing Is Sound'' is the only album not to have a title track on a Switchfoot album. Instead it's a line repeated in "Happy Is A Yuppie Word". [[Anvilicious|Seven times very loudly, if the first time didn't suffice.]]
* [[All Just a Dream]]: "Faust, Midas, and Myself" from ''Oh! Gravity.'' Jon [[Lampshade Hanging|hangs a lampshade]] on the first line of the song. <ref>Of course, that's before you find out that the song is about [[Inception|dream within a dream within another dream.]]</ref>
