^Gotta love it. It definitely has on of those re-enactment feels, during the clips of the guys in the studio and recording. Is that even their studio?
But, great stuff.

On Switchfoot's Myspace, it appears that a new show date has been added:
October 30, 2009 at Tropicana Field.
^The boys are playing a big baseball stadium? That sounds like it could be a ton of fun!

Alternative Addiction did a story with Switchfoot, and here is an excerpt:
For their latest studio release, Switchfoot lead singer Jon Foreman says that the band has taken a darker approach to the record, right down to the album’s title, Hello Hurricane, which Foreman says is a metaphor for facing life’s challenges.
“For me it kind of represents that storms are the unknown that pass through our lives. Things that we do not want to happen will happen to us,” Foreman told Alternative Addiction in a recent interview. “I like the idea of greeting the storm and taking action. Acknowledging that we can’t stop these storms, we can only control the way we behave in light of theses storms.”
Musically, the album’s darker feel Foreman says is due to the heavy hours that the band spent in the studio recording the record, and the toll it took on the band. After recording nearly 4 albums worth of material and then skimming that material down to twelve tracks was a labor intensive process for the band.
