Today, Grammy Award winning rock band Switchfoot releases their new LP, this is our Christmas album. Marking the band’s first-ever holiday record, this is our Christmas album finds Switchfoot infusing their signature West Coast sound to a number of holiday classics and five, new original Christmas songs. Cheery, nostalgic and brimming with sunshine, the 11 track collection was inspired by everyone from the Beach Boys to Black Flag, and promises to be the perfect soundtrack for the holiday season with a new California twist.

“Christmas is an emotional treasure chest for a songwriter to pull from,” lead Singer Jon Foreman says. “It’s a season stretched tight with contradictions: celebrating the free gifts of love and grace with an outburst of materialist capitalist consumption. An emotional roller coaster of family and friends, hopes and scars- bringing out the worst and the best in all of us.” A project that’s been years in the making, this is our Christmas album, wraps its arms wide around these contradictions.

Alongside the album announcement, Switchfoot announces their North American “this is our Christmas tour” which sees the band visiting Napa, Detroit, Monterey, Anaheim and more. Switchfoot’s live show is a force to be reckoned with, and the band’s first Christmas tour is no exception. Since the band’s creation they’ve performed to sold out audiences in over 40 countries and have racked up over five million tickets sold. These shows are going to be special as the group, that’s been described as “definition of cool” by Vulture, will perform one Christmas themed set, and another set filled with the band’s classic hits like “Dare You To Move,” “Meant to Live” and more.

“It’s truly incredible the way music connects us all: making even strangers feel like family,” Jon Foreman says. “To celebrate this season, singing these songs together in the same room is a gift that we can’t wait to unwrap. We’re so excited to head out on our first Christmas tour ever!” 

this is our Christmas album is a follow up to 2021’s interobang, which saw the band opt for raw 60’s era pop-infused feel and straying away from their typical rock sound. Penned through the pandemic, interrobang celebrates the journey when the destination is unsure. It illustrates the contrast between joy and pain, faith and doubt, and marks a bold new creative peak for the multi-platinum rockers.

GRAMMY Award-winning rock band Switchfoot releases the deluxe edition of interrobang. The original collection debuted to critical acclaim last year (Aug 20). In celebration of the release, Switchfoot debuted the official visualizer for “sound of holding breath,” which can be viewed below.

“Writing and recording this album during the chaotic uncertainty of 2020, was an experience unlike any that we’ve ever had as a band. To say that there was a lot to write about would be a laughable understatement. But hard times are often the most inspiring ones, and the making of interrobang was certainly a season of growth and creativity for us as a band, yielding a large collection of songs — too many for one album. Or maybe not. interrobang (deluxe) is our chance to include some of our favorite b-sides from the album, including a fresh one called “youth of the young” that you can stream anywhere and everywhere now! The deluxe edition also features a couple epic remixes from friends lovelytheband & Sir Sly.” -Switchfoot

The band defines interrobang as “a question mark, an exclamation mark, together.” The 12-track project harks back to Switchfoot’s classic rock motifs while underscoring a definitive departure from the band’s typical fanbase. With production assist from the legendary Tony Berg (Paul McCartney, Phoebe Bridgers, Kimbra), interrobang promises Switchfoot fans old and new a fresh, never-before-seen take on the modern rock mainstays.

GRAMMY Award-winning rock band Switchfoot announces the upcoming release of their deluxe edition of interrobang, due July 9. The original version debuted last year (Aug 20).

“As many of you know, with every album there’s always tunes that don’t make the cut for one reason or another. But more often than not, you come back to them later only to realize “what were we thinking‽‽‽. … This song hits home in so many ways and feels as poignant now as ever, ” the band shares about the new release.

In August 2021, Switchfoot debuted an album of the same name but the title track was just recently released. The band defines interrobang as “a question mark, an exclamation mark, together.”

Collective Soul celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2019, releasing their 10th studio album to critical acclaim. Blood debuted at No. 3 on Billboards Alternative Albums chart, helping inject new material into the bands live sets. I think Blood is the beginning of a lot of good music to come, singer and songwriter E Roland said after its release. I think its the best weve ever done. The band had rocketed to fame with the 1993 Shine, the lead single to the multi-platinum album Hints Allegations and Things Left Unsaid.

Switchfoot has sold nearly 10 million copies worldwide, releasing their 12th full-length album interrobang in August of 2021. The album was recorded in a burst of pent-up mid-pandemic creativity in 2020 and 21. They have performed sold-out tours in front of millions of fans in over 40 countries following their breakthrough 2003 double-platinum album The Beautiful Letdown, which helped launch the band with a string of alternative radio hits. In 2011, Switchfoots seventh studio album Hello Hurricane won the Grammy for Best Rock Gospel Album.

GRAMMY Award-winning rock band Switchfoot debuts the official visual for “Beloved,” which is available now to download or stream. This track is from their interrobang album, which dropped last year.

“Why release it now, you ask? … Ours is a fractured world where community is hard to find. When we can’t find community, we settle for tribalism instead. This song is a response to that division and feels just as appropriate in 2022 as it did in 2020 and 2021,” the band shares on social media. “‘ beloved’ is a song that attempts to see ‘you’ as you are, rather than as an ‘it’ that can be commoditized or used. Love is only possible in this exchange. In this surrender, this humility, this intentionality.”
