Get the switchfoot mug.An alternative rock band from San Diego, California. The name comes from a surfing term meaning to switch the position of your feet on the board. This also alludes to taking on a different perspective on life. Contrary to popular belief, they are not a Christian band; although the members individually are Christians. Songs are usually written in Socratic dialogue containing socially aware lyricism. Many consider them a sell-out, poser, one-hit-wonder band, while in fact their music hasn't strayed at all from their roots.
I find it interesting that pro-Switchfoot comments here are positive and polite, (with the exeption of one, I think, sarcastic comment) while anti-Switchfoot comments are extremely derogatory and misinformed in nature. I think this says alot about the band itself.

Get the switchfoot mug.One of the worlds greatest bands ever! Notice how i didn't limit it to just "christian bands," possibly due to the fact that they are not just the greatest Christian band, but because they, among many people, are considered to be one of the greatest bands of all. Anyone who may disagree, you are entitled to your opinion, however, I would just like to inform that crack kills. If you are not one of the drug-doers to which I am referring, then you are probably not a Jesus-Loving homie, in which case I will pray for you.
1.)shelly: "switchfoot is the GREATEST band of all time!"
non-Jesus-Lover: "ummmmmmmmmm....no."
shelly: "CRACK KILLS!"
non-Jesus-Lover: " but...I..I...don't do...drugs."
shelly: "....(puzzled look)....really?"
non-Jesus-Lover: "yea."
shelly: "huh..I'll pray for you."
