Hello Hurricane

Band/artist: Switchfoot
Label: Warner
Website: switchfoot.com

A switch in time

On Hello Hurricane,Switchfoot sound completely comfortable and well settled into their own rock sound, which actually combines U2 like anthems and Coldplay type rock structures, to truly create one of their most unique and non-formulaic following records to date.

This is driven by straight-ahead rockers that have teeth and catchy soaring choruses that are memorable. Hello Hurricane represents the work of a band that has been through the major label ringer and survived by consistently improving, recognizing what works for them and just going for it regardless of what anyone else says.

Switchfoot may never reach the pinnacle point of their past nor break into a less mainstream scene but if they can keep putting out records like Hello Hurricane, listening to radio will be much more tolerable
