MSNBC - New bands storm modern rock radio
For Jon Foreman, lead singer of San Diego-based Switchfoot, it's about the message. The whole record is about yearning for something more than cell phones and modern conveniences, he says. Making music that hits on a spiritual and emotional level was our goal, rather than just music to tap your foot to.
Right on Jon, but the great thing is, with Switchfoot, you still have music you can tap your foot to.

Thoughtful bands like Switchfoot can help start good teen discussions with smart social, political, and religious lyrics. I think our children are way more intelligent than MTV thinks.
