Switchfoot Releases Surprise Album ‘The Beautiful Letdown – Live From Los Angeles’
Grammy Award winning rock band Switchfoot releases a surprise live album, The Beautiful Letdown – Live from Los Angeles. The release supports the kick-off of the latest run of dates for their The Beautiful Letdown 20th anniversary tour, with stops in the US, Canada, and Europe. In May, Switchfoot celebrated the 20th anniversary of the triple-platinum album.
The underdog success story of the LPexemplifies Switchfoot’s iconoclast, grassroots approach, defying the odds of major labels and mainstream media. Produced by now legendary industry giant John Fields (Brandie Carlile, Jimmy Eat World, Ben Rector), The Beautiful Letdown was a ground-breaking achievement for Southern California based rock outfit – selling over 3M copies and garnering over 550M global streams.

When the band began the recording process in 2003, they had signed with a record label to release the collection of songs, preparing them for the biggest stages and audiences they’d ever known. But when their dream took a turn, and the record label dropped them, the rejection brought on fears and doubts like never before.
Celebrating the 20th anniversary of The Beautiful Letdown, the band realizes just how important that rollercoaster was. “The journey of The Beautiful Letdown reminded us why we started playing music in the first place. It united us and gave us a deep appreciation for each other and the people that showed up to sing with us.”
