Continuing what has been a phenomenal year for Switchfoot, the band was given the "Album of the Year" honor at the 2010 San Diego Music Awards for "Hello Hurricane." This is Switchfoot's third Album of the Year award from the SDMA's, and their tenth overall from their hometown awards show. Their last distinction came in 2007 when "Oh! Gravity." also took home the Album of the Year.

SignOnSanDiego reports that the band accepted the honor via video feed, since they are currently on tour in South America.

Congratulations, bros! You certainly deserve it.

The Latin American tour has been receiving a phenomenal response so far. I've come to the conclusion that Switchfoot's biggest, zaniest fans are from the South American region of the world. Mucho bueno, amigos and amigas! (Pardon my terrible Spanish... never really did well in that class).

Anyways, here are some videos from Switchfoot's time so far in the southern hemisphere. It's insane; I would like to be at one of those shows...

Some of you have begun to see this on tv, but "The Sound" is being featured in tv promos for this fall's season of "CSI: Miami."

Check it out in this video below:



^Does it fit? What do you think? I enjoy seeing Switchfoot's songs on media like this, but it doesn't always fit? Give us your thoughts in the comments!

Also, the "Always" dance remix by Max Vangeli and AN21 has become a solid Dance hit, reaching No. 5 on the iTunes Dance charts. Dare we say that Switchfoot has crossed over into the Dance world? Perhaps not, but this is a great way to expose the band's songs to an audience that probably would not otherwise bother to listen.
