Taking their name from their love of surfing, GRAMMY® winners Switchfoot rose swiftly in the Christian rock scene before finally achieving massive crossover success in 2003. Formed in 1996, the band was first signed by legendary CCM songwriter/producer Charlie Peacock. After building a devoted fanbase among Christian alt-rockers, the band's multi-platinum fourth album, The Beautiful Letdown, shot them into the mainstream. Switchfoot went on to top the Christian charts and score multiple Billboard Top 10 albums, taking their hard-rocking spiritual message around the world.
