Progressive rockRap

Switchfoot is a Progressive rock and Rap act. Their sound grew out of Darwin Hobbs, Augustana, Boyce Avenue, NEEDTOBREATHE and Fireflight. Those roots explain a lot about how Switchfoot arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Relient K, NEEDTOBREATHE, Newsboys, Kutless and Anberlin, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Jonas Brothers, New Empire, Sanctus Real, Jimmy Eat World and Mandy Moore, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 34 connections around Switchfoot, reaching back through Darwin Hobbs and forward to Jonas Brothers.
