Switchfoot's OH! GRAVITY Wins Album of the Year!

Brentwood, TN. (Top40 Charts/ Sparrow Records) - The remarkable acclaim continues for Switchfoot's new project, OH! GRAVITY, which was recently named Album of the Year at the 2007 San Diego Music Awards. The set has garnered rave media reviews, features the popular title track and radio/video hit 'Awakening,' and continues making its mark worldwide.

Associated Press calls OH! GRAVITY 'an outstanding record in every sense ... Switchfoot seems to carry more substance and wit than most of their peers ... Frontman Jon Foreman doesn't like what he sees in the world today, but the music doesn't offer complaints so much as it tries to rise above such hollow pursuits as money and adulation with brains and humor ... The rhythm of bassist Tim Foreman and drummer Chad Butler is rock solid and Jerome Fontamillas (keyboards) and Andrew Shirley (guitars) round out one of the most upbeat, intelligent units you're likely to hear.'

Switchfoot has just returned from packed-house shows in Australia and the Philippines. Check out great photographs and video footage from the overseas visit now at Switchfoot.com.

Up next, Switchfoot pairs with Relient K on the Appetite for Construction Tour that runs from October 16 in Charleston, West Virginia through December 3 in Everett, Washington. Each band will donate one dollar per ticket sold to Habitat for Humanity, a charity providing affordable housing to low income families.

The 2007 San Diego Music Awards 'was such a great time and made me so thankful for the San Diego scene,' Jon Foreman said on his MySpace page. The event also featured the first ever live performance by The Real SeanJon, a collaborative side project between Foreman and Nickel Greek guitarist Sean Watkins.
