SPIRITED ROCKERS
Jon Foreman and the guys in Switchfoot have been making some of the most
thought-provoking commercial music for a decade now, and their latest release,
2011’s Vice Verses, is no exception. In fact, with apologies to their most rocking opus
— Nothing Is Sound — and the album that put them on the map — The Beautiful
Letdown — it is probably their best yet.
The band’s penchant for crunchy guitar licks and anthemic songwriting is on full
display on the first single, “Dark Horses,” and the album’s opener, “Afterlife.” “The
Original” and “Rise Above It” are two of the most upbeat pop-rock tracks the band has
ever released; “Restless” is a classic, emotionally-charged Switchfoot song where the
tension between the temporary and the eternal is brought to the foreground and the
title track shows the band’s ability to write an introspective, acoustic ditty too.
Always willing to do more than simply churn out radio hits however, the band throws
a couple of knee-buckling curve balls this time around. Synths and Foreman’s almost
robotic vocals on the verses of “The War Inside” give that Switchfoot track an atypical
feel, and “Selling the News” employs spoken-word stylings over hip-hop beats while
Foreman harpoons society’s appetite for shallow sensationalism and consumerism.
By the time you get to the final notes of the spine-tingling closer “Where I Belong”
— an epic rock track whose focus on living on earth while looking forward to heaven
would play perfectly with the “Sea of Lilies” scene in the Chronicles of Narnia: The
Voyage of the Dawn Treader movie — you will applaud the band’s latest effort to
prove that rock ‘n’ roll can entertain and matter simultaneously.
Opening for Switchfoot are indie electronic rockers Paper Route, who are playing in
support of The Peace of Wild Things, which released last month.
Switchfoot plays 8 pm Saturday, Oct. 20, at WOW Hall; $20-$24. — Brian Palmer
