"Hello Hurricane acknowledges the storms that tear through our lives," states Switchfoot singer and songwriter Jon Foreman. "This album is an 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."

With Hello Hurricane, Switchfoot is set to thrive in 2009 with a newfound independence: a new home studio HQ, a new mainstream label, and a return-to-roots creativity and sense of purpose. After ten non-stop years of working as the world's most humble multi-million selling rock band, the hard-charging San Diego-based quintet saw recording sessions for their aptly-titled seventh full-length album as a unique chance to reassess, reflect and rededicate.
