Switchfoot's 'Hello Hurricane' set for Nov 10

Update: Check out our Youth Pop Culture Lesson: "Always" by Switchfoot (Music)

Multi-Platinum rockers Switchfoot return to shelves November 10 with Hello Hurricane (Atlantic Records),  the band's seventh full-length album and its first studio album since 2006's Oh! Gravity. The members of Switchfoot tracked more than 80 songs at their self-built home studio, culling the best tracks for the final album lineup. The back-to-basics approach employed has yielded what lead singer Jon Foreman views as "a new beginning." Working with noted producer Mike Elizondo (Dr. Dre, Eminem, Pink) facilitated a departure for the band, punctuated by hard-hitting instrumentation and soaring choruses. "Hello Hurricane acknowledges the storms that tear through our lives," states Foreman. "This album is attempt to respond to those storms with an element of hope, trying to understand what it means to be hopeful in a world that keeps on spinning."
