Switchfoot preps for new album, tour

Grammy Award-winning rock band Switchfoot confirmed their new album interrobang will be released on August 20, 2021 via Fantasy Records. interrobang is the follow up to 2018’s Native Tongue and last year’s Covers EP. The band also shared new track, “fluorescent,” the second song from interrobang, following the recently released “i need you (to be wrong).”

Listen to “fluorescent” and pre-order interrobang HERE.

The 12th full-length album of the multi-platinum selling rock band’s 20+ year career found them working with producer Tony Berg (Paul McCartney, Phoebe Bridgers, Andrew Bird) at both Sound City studio in Van Nuys, CA and the band’s own studio in Carlsbad, CA.

Switchfoot - Jon Foreman, Tim Foreman, Chad Butler, Jerome Fontamillas, and Drew Shirley - recorded the album throughout last year and into 2021.

“More than ever, we want our music to be a bridge, reaching out with melody and lyrics to sing an honest song for anyone who’s got ears to hear,” says Switchfoot frontman Jon Foreman. “interrobang is an album that celebrates the journey, even when the arrival is unsure. interrobang is the sound of joy and pain, faith and doubt against the backdrop of the strangest, most difficult year we've ever experienced.”

Interro is derived from "interrogation point," the technical name for the question mark, and bang is printers' slang for the exclamation point.

On Saturday, June 19th, Switchfoot will virtually host their 17th Annual Bro-Am with a livestream concert and fundraiser. The event will begin at 5pm PT and feature performances from Switchfoot, Phantom Planet, Andrew McMahon, Madison Cunningham and more. More information: HERE
