Switchfoot is an alternative rock band and also referred to as a Christian rock band, due to their involvement in Christian rock scene. However, they disagreed with the “religious label” for they believe that their music is “faith, not a genre”.
The band achieved mainstream recognition in the music industry when their music was featured prominently in a Nicholas Sparks’ movie adaptation, “A Walk to Remember” (2002). A year after, they released their major label debut Beautiful Letdown.
Switchfoot’s best-known singles are “Dare You To Move” (Beautiful Letdown, 2003) and “Only Hope” (New Way to Be Human, 1999).
