It's Throwback Thursday, and while many people might not think about Switchfoot as a "throwback" band, it's interesting to remember that they did release their first music over a quarter century ago..... do you feel old hearing that?
Here's info from PlayMpe:
Looking to warm up your holidays with a bit of California sunshine?
Switchfoot is here for you with some California surf-rock holiday cheer. Inspired by a West Coast sound ranging from The Beach Boys to Black Flag, Switchfoot’s “this is our Christmas album” brings you the California Christmas album you never knew you needed.
An album full of Nostalgia? Sunshine?
Maybe even some honest anti-consumerist lyrics about Christmas Muzak at the mall?
Yes. Yes and yes.
From fresh new takes on traditional classics, to instant classics, Switchfoot’s “this is our Christmas album” has something to brighten anyone’s holiday season.
Switchfoot’s “this is our Christmas album” wraps arms wide around these contradictions, with new Christmas tunes and a fresh take on some Christmas Classics: five of each.
So wherever this season finds you, throw your surfboard and Christmas tree on the VW van. Put the needle down and enjoy a project that’s been years in the making:
