Hello Hurricane is the seventh album from Switchfoot and it’s a big one. The band has grown steadily since their rise out of the San Diego surf scene, largely on the strength of their live shows. They’re one of those “you’ve got to see them live” kind of bands, the ones your friends come home raving about after the show.

REVIEW OF REVIEWS
It’s about to get crazy busy for Switchfoot. This week they are taking the stage for Yahoo! Music’s new live concert feature called “Maximum Performance Guitar Hero 5.” Then Jon and Chad will be featured in an upcoming episode of “Road Trip Nation” airing on PBS stations in November. MySpace will premiere their new project “Hello Hurricane” the week before its released and the band will be interviewed on their “The MySpace Music Feed” on Monday, November 9th.
“Hello Hurricane”, is Switchfoot’s first studio project since 2006’s “Oh! Gravity”, which debuted at #18 on The Billboard Top 200 chart. The band tracked more than 80 songs at its self-built home studio in San Diego before narrowing it down to the 12 that appear on the new project.
Hello Hurricane is the seventh full-length from Switchfoot, and the first of four albums produced in the same sessions. It was co-produced by the band and Mike Elizondo, after initial runs with producers such as Darrell Thorp, Ken Andrews and Charlie Peacock. The follow-up to 2006’s Oh! Gravity was recorded primarily in the band’s hometown studio space in San Diego, Calif.
