What: Multi-platinum selling alt-rockers Switchfoot offers online fans the pre-released track Dirty Second Hands off their highly anticipated album, Oh! Gravity-- due in stores December 26, 2006.

Who: Switchfoot, a San Diego based modern rock band released their fifth album Nothing is Sound in September 2005 with the debut single Stars. The album was recorded almost entirely on the road in dressing rooms in between gigs, while the band performed over 400 shows in the last two-years selling over 1.5 million tickets. Oh! Gravity is the band’s 6th studio release; it’s produced by Tim Palmer (U2, Tears For Fears, Tin Machine, James) and Switchfoot. The album is executive produced by Grammy-Winning Producer of the Year Steve Lillywhite, who also helmed the track, Awakening. All songs on the album were written by frontman Jon Foreman and Switchfoot.
In anticipation of the release of Oh! Gravity, Switchfoot will hit the road for an extensive U.S. fall tour beginning October 17 in Bakersfield and ending November 22 at the House of Blues in Las Vegas (see itinerary below). In an effort to get closer to their fans, Switchfoot will be playing smaller, more intimate venues. Visit www.Switchfoot.com for more updates and information.
