Switchfoot, the uber-popular Christian alternative rock band named after a surfing move, has a busy schedule in November with a  fall tour launch, a new record, and numerous media appearances including the Jimmy Kimmel show.

The band is launching its headlining fall tour in their hometown of San Diego on November 8 at 94.9’s Anniversary Bash. As reported in Switchfoot's Hello Hurricane to release November 10,  the  multi-platinum selling group will then release Hello Hurricane, their first album on Atlantic Records and first studio album since 2006’s Oh! Gravity, on November 10. MySpace will premiere Hello Hurricane the week before its release and the band will be interviewed on “The MySpace Music Feed” on Monday, November 9.
