    Not an issue.

    Epic! Ages 8 and up!

    I love Switchfoot. There needs to be more christian bands like them! I mostly listen to christian music, they are one of my favorites, Sanctus Real being my top favorite. If you like the lead singer's voice, his name is Jon Foreman. You would love his EP Solo Album is called Limbs and Branches. My boyfriend gave me the album to borrow, I didnt want to give it back thats how good it was!
