The band is currently on tour in support of their seventh studio album, Hello Hurricane.
Dates have been selling out from coast-to-coast!
"It's a sleekly presented modern-rock album with no shortage of bruising guitars or catchy choruses." - Billboard
"On their seventh album, Switchfoot set the mood with U2-esque shimmer ("Needle and Haystack Life"), fuzzed out rockers that would make Dave Grohl green with envy ("Mess of Me," a rally against prescription drug abuse) and jangly garage-rock ("Bullet Soul")." - Alternative Press
"The group added some heft to its super catchy alternative rock...Mess of Me - a song about fighting one's inner demons- is a stop-start rocker that kicks off with a serrated guitar scrawl, and Bullet Soul is a crescendoing punk rager." - Rolling Stone
“…Hello Hurricane the ultimate benchmark for any like-minded act, and amongst this band's very best.” - CCM
