Speaker 1 (00:08):
Jonas.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
If you're just tuning in, we have our buddies switch
Foot on. Yeah, oh to have you guys on and
our so Cal friends. Thank you so much for taking
the time. And we've shared the stage many times. Our
relationship goes way back. Let's go all the way back.
One of the reasons that this band that's Huba Stank,
(00:31):
That's Huberstink.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Has been formed in the first place was because I
overheard Kevin and Joe in our house in New Jersey
playing together for the first time. They were singing twenty
four from your album Beautiful Letdown, and I heard it
through the wall. It was the first time they ever
sung together. Kevin playing guitar, Joe singing, and I was like,
that sounds really good. And I was working on a
solo record at the time at Columbia Records, And you know,
(00:58):
soon after that, we wrote a song together that our
dad said, the brothers are all singing together now, and
they signed us and on that That first day, they
opened up this big drawer and they pulled out like
all this, all the CDs that we could like take,
and one of them, of course was Beautiful Letdown. We've
we've been blasting it for months, but it's a huge
part of our origin story as a band, and we
(01:21):
just want to say thank you for that and for
all the bunch of years.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
And we're thrilled to have you on the pod. This
is great.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Let's good.
Speaker 5 (01:31):
You were one of our inspirations. But who is one
of your band's inspirations? Like who did you guys grow
up listening to? Like what really inspired you guys to
start creating music?
Speaker 4 (01:40):
Tim and I sharing DNA? We both kind of share
a little bit more musical DNA than Chad maybe, but
we were in a led Zeppelin cover band.
Speaker 6 (01:53):
Yeah, back before your voice has changed. You know, you
can still hit those.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
Yeah, we joked you have to write new songs when
when you hit puberty because you can't hit the those
Robert Plant notes or not availab.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
So led Zeppelin cover band And then how did your
band form? What was the origin story there?
Speaker 6 (02:16):
I think for John and I you maybe you guys
can relate. There was never a time that we weren't
playing music together. Yeah, you know, so it was very normalized.
It was just kind of what you did. It was
never like a hey, we should start a band. I
think it was just always in process. I was just
annoying him with songs all the time. What about this one?
What about this one?
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (02:36):
Yeah, And the music scene in San Diego is very eclectic,
which I think is also part of kind of our
origin story. The bands we were listening to, it was
like equal parts. Obviously the heavyweights like Zeppelin, Beatles, Lease,
and then like bands no one's ever heard of, Mean Back, Yeah,
boiler Maker, you know, little bands that we'd see him
(02:57):
in their garage. But Great was like coming out of
our scene. We're always very practical.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
The dream was like, okay, what if we could go
on tour, and a tour meant going up all the
way to San Francisco, you know, like that.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Would be like the dream, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
And these were what the bands we would listen to,
did you know, like I can I don't know led Zeppelin,
but I helped you know, Rob Crow carry his guitar
in one time, and that's what he does. He goes
on tour, you know, and I'm so cool. Yeah so
and then so Chad. I actually recorded his band on
my four track, which caught on fire during the session.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Of course, there was too much fire, and that's what
I knew.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
I'm like, Chad, you got to join our band. It
literally melted the machine. Yeah, we had a band in conspiracy.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Maybe you did it on purpose, you knew it was
time for him to join you.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
It could have been that was it Tim, myself and
another guy and we recorded a CD in high school
and it was all my bus boy money to go
into the studio and record it proper. And when he
moved back to the East Coast, we said, well, Tad,
you got to join our band. And he was like,
how about we make something new? And so I was
(04:17):
like all right. So we wrote all new songs and
it felt like it was a completely new thing.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
Was there a song that you guys wrote as like
that you felt like, oh gosh, we found the sound,
like we found the like we found the direction, Like
we it like just unlocked the rest of the thing
was there like a moment you realize like, yes, we
are onto what we feel like is truly us.
Speaker 6 (04:40):
I mean, I don't know if you guys relate to this,
but I think at that age every song we wrote
was like, oh my gosh, we did the best thing totally.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
There was all success all the time. You got through
an entire song.
Speaker 6 (04:54):
Yeah, you're completely blind to like all the the reasons
why it's not it yet, you know.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
I mean, but what was the first song that that
really did break through like take us through that sort
of chapter of the journey.
Speaker 6 (05:07):
So there's a song called Darry to Move that we
put on our third album, and we thought that was
going to be our you know, one of our last albums.
Like we didn't know many bands that made more than
three records.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Yeah, was on?
Speaker 4 (05:21):
Was it on?
Speaker 6 (05:22):
So it was on our third record, The Beautiful Learning
to Breathe, And we thought that was like, that was
the song. We put it first on the album. We
were like, this is the single. Our record label at
the time didn't think so, and it kind of got
lost and we moved it. Yeah, and so we have
the chance to do a fourth record, which surprised us.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Who gets to do four records.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
This is at the time of year with Columbia, Chris, this.
Speaker 6 (05:49):
Is our first major label album. But we're still thinking like, yeah,
but it's probably our last. Like let's let's go in.
Let's not leave anything on the table, including let's put
Darry to Move on this album too. Let's re record
it and give it. That's how much we believed in
this song. We felt like everyone missed it. Let's let's
run it back.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
That is wild and did you record this with Fields?
Speaker 7 (06:12):
We retracked everything.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
You can hear them both on on Spotify. We finally
separated them. They're similar, same song, but I felt like
we were able to have a second chance at a
song that you know, really means a lot to us.
It is funny though, because like people will say, oh,
that is that's a that's a big song or something,
and for for years and years everyone said the opposite.
(06:34):
So I think it's interesting to think through what makes
a big song, what makes a song that sticks? You know?
Speaker 6 (06:40):
Well that we got dropped while we were playing That's
at a showcase for Sony Columbia.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
We were at the showcase seeing you guys are at
the Columbia.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
We were there. We watched you from the balcony. I
was we were freaking out.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Did you watch the president of Sony walk out while
we were playing during dary.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I don't even know if we would have seen who
that was at the time when we were there, but
I never got to that level.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Yeah, we got dropped before that too. That's a wild
thing to be performing.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Oh my god, did you think it was like a
bad joke when you guys found out, because you're like,
we just played for you.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
We thought we were like, like that was awesome. High five.
Wasn't it great? And our manager came up to us
afterwards like he saw a ghost and he's like, actually, no,
that was not very good. That we just got craft.
He said he didn't hear any any big songs. We're
gonna have to figure out what to do. That's insane.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
That's insane. I remember listening to that album that entire summer.
We were at summer camp and it became like the
soundtrack to our summer camp and they make.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
You guys were there.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
We were there in the mill. Maybe it wasn't the
same showcase. It probably was.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
I think it was our only only time in New York,
you know, five.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Years, and yeah, that was we were there.
Speaker 5 (07:59):
We saw it, and I guess we saw the performance
because then that was the same day like we saw
John Mayer for the first time.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
So Darry to move.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
It's so funny you mentioned that you re recorded it
with Fields because we have a similar story and that
we had this song called when you look Me in
the Eyes that was on the original record we made
kind of as a group at Sony, which actually never
came out that we went a different direction, made a
whole new album that was the technically the first album.
But he heard Looking in the Eyes and was like,
(08:27):
this is really good. Give me a shot to produce
on the first album that he made for us. And
he literally said, he's like, I'm going to give it
the dairy to move treatment. And I don't think I
registered then that it wasn't just sonically that it was similar,
but also that he's re recording a song.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Yes, oh wow, yeah, people listening.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
John Fields is an amazing producer, and he was the
producer for you know, three of our albums and two
of yours were.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
I think three three.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
You know, when we went into our new record label
after Sony dropped us, they were like, who do you
want to work with? And we were, you know, swinging
for the fences because we had no traction romentum going.
We're just hoping that, you know, they would Paris with
somebody cool. So we said we'd love to work with
John Fields based on you know, all the stuff he
was doing with you guys and they called him and
(09:16):
he agreed to do it, but he's like, I'm not
going to listen to anything they've done. I could just
want to start fresh. And it was key to the whole,
the whole process. But that is a wild story. So
Walk Us Through then Walk to Remember comes out around
that same time, right, and only hope is.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Yeah, just before then, we had a bunch of songs
on Walk to Remember, and I remember that was a
really interesting, another strange season where you're these punk kids
from San Diego, like stand in between your toes walking
the red carpet, and I remember distinctly we get to
the part where the photographers are taking pictures and they're
(09:55):
snapping away, and then one of them stops and says, wait,
who are you? It was? Are you in the movie?
What is your role in this thing?
Speaker 8 (10:06):
David?
Speaker 4 (10:08):
I remember that he was walking behind us. They knew
who he was.
Speaker 5 (10:13):
There's a massive resurgence online. I don't know if you've
seen this yet, but there are videos of millennial parents
showing their children Walk to Remembers for the first time
that they're following them and putting it online and watching
their reactions and watching their reactions because they know What's coming.
It is heartbreaking but so funny, and of course your
music is just playing in the background all the entire time.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
So if you have a minute, go check it out.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
It's some of my favorite videos and I cannot wait
to do it to our almost thirteen year old. So
I'm very I'm very much looking for to you.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
It was pretty wild.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
It's pretty wild is that you guys would have more
than one song on like a soundtrack line?
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Right? That doesn't really happen. Yeah, it's pretty sick. It
was wild, and they just kept it was like half
the soundtrack. I remember that.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
I was like, this is nuts.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Goodwill Hunting was a big movie for us.
Speaker 6 (10:59):
That's how we discovered Elliott Smith and I remember thinking like,
could this be our Goodwill Hunting moment? Like we're taking
a little soundtrack?
Speaker 4 (11:08):
You know, that's wild.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Where did that come from? Was it the director? Was
it a team around the soundtrack? Or a girl that
John and I went to high school with. She and
I were in a bunch of classes together. She ended
up in la right after high school being the assistant
to Mandy Moore's manager because she heard they were looking
for songs for the film and one day, she kind
of shyly walked in and was like, hey, got these guys,
(11:32):
well friends of mine from high school. I never do this,
but h and Mandy heard only Hope and wanted to
sing it in the film totally. And then it just
kind of snowballed. It was like another song, Hey, could
we use another one? And then I think by the
end of it was like five songs.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Wow, that's incredible. That like never happens, right, That's like,
already get one song placed on something, but.
Speaker 6 (11:55):
Then like you know, you do a million things where
you're like, what's going to move the needle and what
isn't and you never know, right, So I think that
was happening, you know, one side, and then the other
side we were going into the studio to make our
what we thought was our last album, so all this
was happening at the same time, and it just kind
of created this moment that we would have never expected.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
It's incredible.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
I'm curious, like, after all these years, you guys have
done some incredible stuff, do you still feel like you've
got some bucketless items as a band that you're like,
we'd love to do this, we gotta do this, or
we got to play here.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
M that's a good question. I would love to play
another show at Red Rocks. That's always I mean, every
time we play there, it's it's it feels like a
bucket list totally.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
We should play together, guys, Let's go Sick Jonas switch Foot,
Red Rocks, would be would be fire.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
I mean, yeah, we had a ton of fun having
you guys out at MetLife for the kickoff of the
tours in same night.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
You guys are insane. Yeah, could I just light on
like because we do, we're like the same kind of
swing for the fences. Let's let's throw it all in.
But I just want to point out you have a
first night of tour, which is always calamitous. You have
it in you know, a stadium, a huge stadium in
your hometown, in your hometown. That's always another another dreadful thing,
(13:21):
another another thing. And then you have like you have
even more guests. Yeah, and you were so calm, all
three of you guys were. I remember there was like
all sorts of things, you know, fires being put out
just before you're to go on stage, and you guys
are just heart rate, slow, calm, breathing, normal truly. Yeah,
(13:42):
it was.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
It was inspired, like you know, kind of love the chaos,
and that night, you know, it was it was really
special because the whole idea of the special Guest thing
stemmed from actually the collaboration on Gretisch from Hometown, the
album that we put out and that you guys were
featured on, and we did that song and and you know,
it was really about kind of giving flowers to people
(14:05):
that have been a part of our journey and saying,
you know, thank you, and being able to share those
those moments with them. And you know, between you and
and and Demi, there's there's a lot of like significant
moments kind of for.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Us that night. But it was crazy. I remember what
it was done.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
I was like, I don't know how how all these
pieces actually came together, but it was. It was really
quite fun. And then you know, the song that we
got to do for the album, I remember we sent
it to you guys again on theme Swing for the Fences,
thinking who knows if they'll be into this. Within I
think a week or two you sent back the full track.
It sounded incredible, and thank you for being on the record.
(14:44):
First of all, so much. Thanks It was it.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
Was big for us, thank you for having us on
greeting from your hometown. The moment we heard it, it
was it's a it's such a an infectious song. I
feel like it has a great just it has a
heartbeat that that we loved from the beginning. So love that. Yeah,
there's no no arm twisting to be a part of it,
(15:10):
and I love I also love the fact that you guys.
I remember, I think it was a zoom or something
where we're like, okay, so you want us to write
a bridge, you know, And I can't remember who it was,
but I think it was you. You're like, I'm thinking
like change tempo change, you know, Like I'm like, wow, okay,
so that's that's not the pop you know formula that we.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Wanted the full.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
We wanted the full switch foot slow down the Field,
and you guys did it and nailed that. That's like
my favorite. It's so weird that song. Actually, we played
it only a few times, you know, in full. Obviously
most of the time it was with you guys. But
when we did, I would leave the show after all
this music we played that night, and I'd be in
my bed staring at the ceiling. And that's the song
that would be still playing in my head.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
So like it definitely stays with you.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
That is odd, like the end of a weekend of music.
What is the song that is in your head?
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Yeah, oh no, it's a great song.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
So your new album Forever Now tell us about it.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
It is an attempt to basically, if you had to
distill your last day here on the planet, what would
you do? And I think it brings life into focus.
It brings people into focus. It brings conflict into focus
to where you say, this doesn't matter as much as
(16:29):
I thought it did. I need to go spend time
with my kids or that sort of thing. And for
us as a band, it also brought into focus, like
I'm sure it's the same for you guys, where you
chase so many different flavors and colors that you love musically,
where you think, oh yeah, that record's great, let's see
if we can do something like that. But this album
(16:50):
is an attempt to make the only the record that
only switch Foot could make, so to fall back in
love with rock and roll and to bring that San Diego,
you know, Sam between your toes rock and roll.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Yeah, that's beautiful, and you mentioned, you know, briefly about
spending time with their kids before we started recording it.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
You're open to sharing.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
You mentioned pretty cool memory from your collective bro Am event,
and it just hit me so hard when you said
it as a girl dad, So you don't mind sharing.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Yeah, girl dad's out there. Yeah, I'm the softie like
you know, like it doesn't matter what movie, Avengers or whatever.
I'm like, oh gosh, this is getting me and my
daughter think it's hilarious. She's fourteen and they We do
this event called the bro Am switch Foot bro Am,
which is raising money and awareness for incredible kids in
(17:44):
our hometown. Greeting from your hometown. It's awesome, and so
it gives back to kids that you know, homeless, kids
at risk, youth, kids with special needs. And one of
the programs is Challenge Athletes Foundation. So we do this
Ushian session where kids with limb differences, kids with cerebral palsy,
(18:05):
different things that you know that they they're wrestling with.
We teach them how to surf and then there's a
thousand people on the beach all cheering them on and
it Wow, that's beautiful. It was, Yeah, it was it. Literally,
I've been in the in the ocean surfing thousands of times,
and this was a top five moment for me. And again,
I'm a softie, but I was holding back some tears
(18:27):
him and chatter out there everybody's smiling and yeah, my
daughter she has cerebral palsy and she's she's just catching
these incredible waves and everyone on the shore is cheering
her on that. Yeah, that was a highlight for me.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Beautiful. Well, thanks for sharing, beautiful. You know, we get
a a writer list from all our guests and we
got yours and never something on there that I think
it's been there for a long time, which is a
local hot sauce.

and that's my daughter's name. Actually really full circle.

the song with the Grand Old Opry Band would be
pretty spectacular. All right, As we do with all our guests,

Speaker 4 (22:54):
I wish couldn't work a lot of money. I was fourteen.
I couldn't afford it because the chance got all these
legendary ping in, like looking from the the roof, like stories.
Speaker 7 (23:04):
Yeah, when you're underage, like we used to. There was
a club in San Diego that had a skylight above
the stage and we used to climb up and watch
the bands from above. And in the middle of the
show when time was banned fire hose, somebody in the
front row is pointing at us, and they stopped the
show and they made everybody look up and wave at us,
and then the security came.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
And backfired. But cool moment.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Where was the Pearl Jam Nirvana show. It's at the
Delmar Fairgrounds. How many people were there?
Speaker 7 (23:34):
That must have been huge, Probably two thousand, oh wow,
only two thousand, I think maybe more.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
It was inside one of those sheds where.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
They two see when you say that, I when this
whole time when you said you've told this story, I
haven't heard that many times. But like I'm picturing outside,
I'm picturing a festival, you know, one hundred thousand people.
We just made this story even cooler.
Speaker 6 (24:01):
Yes, had their massive tour all of the stories about
their shows where it was like clubs.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
So that was like they were opening for the Chili Peppers. Yeah, whoa, Yeah,
it's crazy. Okay, So who was Pearl jam first?
Speaker 7 (24:17):
Yeah, Pearl Jamers first, and Eddie Vedder climbed up on
the lights and the whole thing is crazy, and then
Nirvana and so great.
Speaker 6 (24:24):
And Eddie Vedder's from our our high school. That's okay,
to fame, that's right, California, that's right.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
I feel like that high school produced a lot of
great music.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
Yeah, it's it's a good spot. It's a good spot
for weird kids. That's right.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Qualify we say that about New Jersey, Tim Okay, what's
one shore?
Speaker 6 (24:44):
You will avoid it all costs. That would be cleaning
out my garage. It is kind of like a big
surf shed at this point. I have so many surfboards,
wet suits, and uh, you know, I feel like I
fly just below the radar if I kind of keep
it like at a just a dull chaos that my
(25:07):
wife won't notice. How many boards I've accumulated. How many
do you think you have? It's probably twenty at this point.
And do you use all of them or they're just like.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
No part with them?
Speaker 6 (25:23):
I mean, I probably there's probably like four that I'll
rotate through.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
But yeah, and the rest are just like the tombstones. Yeah,
that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
You know.
Speaker 6 (25:31):
I don't collect fancy cars, but I do like having
a bunch of surfboards around.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
That's my thing.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
The Teen Choice Awards give out surfboards. That's the award
I think we have.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
I think we have twenty teen Choice Awards surfboards. See
there is Maybe they're not practical, you can't actually use
them to surf, but I think we should send We
should send you one.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Just to add one random one in the corner.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Make your wife Mett.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
You're like, yes, nothing, you could have twenty boards, but
had Jonas brother.
Speaker 6 (26:07):
Yeah, have we talked about this. We need to go
surfing with you guys.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
I would love that surfing.
Speaker 5 (26:14):
No, I was a skateboarder growing up, a snowboarder, but
like just never served.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
I'm an avid snowboarder and I feel like there's definitely yeah, yeah,
crossover there.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
My daughter was born in San Diego.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
It was kind of a crazy moment in our world
because she was in the nick you for a while
but spend some time in San Diego. Kind of like
I feel like the water was a healing thing for
my wife and I just to I don't know, there's
something really special about the water in San Diego and
the vibe generally. But I didn't surf obviously, I was
(26:49):
pretty busy. But I would love to go back and
take you up on that offer. I'll bring the teen choice.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Of war boarder deal show up to the shore with it.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
There we go, let's back, I said, thing up.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Guys.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
Thank you so much for taking the time to join us,
and congratulations again on the new album. We cannot wait
to experience it with you. But and of course on
the twenty third at the Grand Old Opera. Huge, what
an amazing honor.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
And your tour just fall where you kick it off?
Thirty eight dates? Right, that's right, Chad, where were kicking
it off?
Speaker 4 (27:22):
Grand Rapids.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
I believe thriving, nice metropolis. We're going to come check
out a show for sure. Please love you guys, appreciate
you being on the pod. And congrats again.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
Man, you love you guys. Thanks for having us.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Thank you guys. I appreciate you
Jonas.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
If you're just tuning in, we have our buddies switch
Foot on. Yeah, oh to have you guys on and
our so Cal friends. Thank you so much for taking
the time. And we've shared the stage many times. Our
relationship goes way back. Let's go all the way back.
One of the reasons that this band that's Huba Stank,
(00:31):
That's Huberstink.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Has been formed in the first place was because I
overheard Kevin and Joe in our house in New Jersey
playing together for the first time. They were singing twenty
four from your album Beautiful Letdown, and I heard it
through the wall. It was the first time they ever
sung together. Kevin playing guitar, Joe singing, and I was like,
that sounds really good. And I was working on a
solo record at the time at Columbia Records, And you know,
(00:58):
soon after that, we wrote a song together that our
dad said, the brothers are all singing together now, and
they signed us and on that That first day, they
opened up this big drawer and they pulled out like
all this, all the CDs that we could like take,
and one of them, of course was Beautiful Letdown. We've
we've been blasting it for months, but it's a huge
part of our origin story as a band, and we
(01:21):
just want to say thank you for that and for
all the bunch of years.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
And we're thrilled to have you on the pod. This
is great.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Let's good.
Speaker 5 (01:31):
You were one of our inspirations. But who is one
of your band's inspirations? Like who did you guys grow
up listening to? Like what really inspired you guys to
start creating music?
Speaker 4 (01:40):
Tim and I sharing DNA? We both kind of share
a little bit more musical DNA than Chad maybe, but
we were in a led Zeppelin cover band.
Speaker 6 (01:53):
Yeah, back before your voice has changed. You know, you
can still hit those.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
Yeah, we joked you have to write new songs when
when you hit puberty because you can't hit the those
Robert Plant notes or not availab.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
So led Zeppelin cover band And then how did your
band form? What was the origin story there?
Speaker 6 (02:16):
I think for John and I you maybe you guys
can relate. There was never a time that we weren't
playing music together. Yeah, you know, so it was very normalized.
It was just kind of what you did. It was
never like a hey, we should start a band. I
think it was just always in process. I was just
annoying him with songs all the time. What about this one?
What about this one?
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (02:36):
Yeah, And the music scene in San Diego is very eclectic,
which I think is also part of kind of our
origin story. The bands we were listening to, it was
like equal parts. Obviously the heavyweights like Zeppelin, Beatles, Lease,
and then like bands no one's ever heard of, Mean Back, Yeah,
boiler Maker, you know, little bands that we'd see him
(02:57):
in their garage. But Great was like coming out of
our scene. We're always very practical.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
The dream was like, okay, what if we could go
on tour, and a tour meant going up all the
way to San Francisco, you know, like that.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Would be like the dream, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
And these were what the bands we would listen to,
did you know, like I can I don't know led Zeppelin,
but I helped you know, Rob Crow carry his guitar
in one time, and that's what he does. He goes
on tour, you know, and I'm so cool. Yeah so
and then so Chad. I actually recorded his band on
my four track, which caught on fire during the session.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Of course, there was too much fire, and that's what
I knew.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
I'm like, Chad, you got to join our band. It
literally melted the machine. Yeah, we had a band in conspiracy.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Maybe you did it on purpose, you knew it was
time for him to join you.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
It could have been that was it Tim, myself and
another guy and we recorded a CD in high school
and it was all my bus boy money to go
into the studio and record it proper. And when he
moved back to the East Coast, we said, well, Tad,
you got to join our band. And he was like,
how about we make something new? And so I was
(04:17):
like all right. So we wrote all new songs and
it felt like it was a completely new thing.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
Was there a song that you guys wrote as like
that you felt like, oh gosh, we found the sound,
like we found the like we found the direction, Like
we it like just unlocked the rest of the thing
was there like a moment you realize like, yes, we
are onto what we feel like is truly us.
Speaker 6 (04:40):
I mean, I don't know if you guys relate to this,
but I think at that age every song we wrote
was like, oh my gosh, we did the best thing totally.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
There was all success all the time. You got through
an entire song.
Speaker 6 (04:54):
Yeah, you're completely blind to like all the the reasons
why it's not it yet, you know.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
I mean, but what was the first song that that
really did break through like take us through that sort
of chapter of the journey.
Speaker 6 (05:07):
So there's a song called Darry to Move that we
put on our third album, and we thought that was
going to be our you know, one of our last albums.
Like we didn't know many bands that made more than
three records.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Yeah, was on?
Speaker 4 (05:21):
Was it on?
Speaker 6 (05:22):
So it was on our third record, The Beautiful Learning
to Breathe, And we thought that was like, that was
the song. We put it first on the album. We
were like, this is the single. Our record label at
the time didn't think so, and it kind of got
lost and we moved it. Yeah, and so we have
the chance to do a fourth record, which surprised us.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Who gets to do four records.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
This is at the time of year with Columbia, Chris, this.
Speaker 6 (05:49):
Is our first major label album. But we're still thinking like, yeah,
but it's probably our last. Like let's let's go in.
Let's not leave anything on the table, including let's put
Darry to Move on this album too. Let's re record
it and give it. That's how much we believed in
this song. We felt like everyone missed it. Let's let's
run it back.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
That is wild and did you record this with Fields?
Speaker 7 (06:12):
We retracked everything.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
You can hear them both on on Spotify. We finally
separated them. They're similar, same song, but I felt like
we were able to have a second chance at a
song that you know, really means a lot to us.
It is funny though, because like people will say, oh,
that is that's a that's a big song or something,
and for for years and years everyone said the opposite.
(06:34):
So I think it's interesting to think through what makes
a big song, what makes a song that sticks? You know?
Speaker 6 (06:40):
Well that we got dropped while we were playing That's
at a showcase for Sony Columbia.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
We were at the showcase seeing you guys are at
the Columbia.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
We were there. We watched you from the balcony. I
was we were freaking out.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Did you watch the president of Sony walk out while
we were playing during dary.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I don't even know if we would have seen who
that was at the time when we were there, but
I never got to that level.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Yeah, we got dropped before that too. That's a wild
thing to be performing.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Oh my god, did you think it was like a
bad joke when you guys found out, because you're like,
we just played for you.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
We thought we were like, like that was awesome. High five.
Wasn't it great? And our manager came up to us
afterwards like he saw a ghost and he's like, actually, no,
that was not very good. That we just got craft.
He said he didn't hear any any big songs. We're
gonna have to figure out what to do. That's insane.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
That's insane. I remember listening to that album that entire summer.
We were at summer camp and it became like the
soundtrack to our summer camp and they make.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
You guys were there.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
We were there in the mill. Maybe it wasn't the
same showcase. It probably was.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
I think it was our only only time in New York,
you know, five.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Years, and yeah, that was we were there.
Speaker 5 (07:59):
We saw it, and I guess we saw the performance
because then that was the same day like we saw
John Mayer for the first time.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
So Darry to move.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
It's so funny you mentioned that you re recorded it
with Fields because we have a similar story and that
we had this song called when you look Me in
the Eyes that was on the original record we made
kind of as a group at Sony, which actually never
came out that we went a different direction, made a
whole new album that was the technically the first album.
But he heard Looking in the Eyes and was like,
(08:27):
this is really good. Give me a shot to produce
on the first album that he made for us. And
he literally said, he's like, I'm going to give it
the dairy to move treatment. And I don't think I
registered then that it wasn't just sonically that it was similar,
but also that he's re recording a song.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Yes, oh wow, yeah, people listening.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
John Fields is an amazing producer, and he was the
producer for you know, three of our albums and two
of yours were.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
I think three three.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
You know, when we went into our new record label
after Sony dropped us, they were like, who do you
want to work with? And we were, you know, swinging
for the fences because we had no traction romentum going.
We're just hoping that, you know, they would Paris with
somebody cool. So we said we'd love to work with
John Fields based on you know, all the stuff he
was doing with you guys and they called him and
(09:16):
he agreed to do it, but he's like, I'm not
going to listen to anything they've done. I could just
want to start fresh. And it was key to the whole,
the whole process. But that is a wild story. So
Walk Us Through then Walk to Remember comes out around
that same time, right, and only hope is.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Yeah, just before then, we had a bunch of songs
on Walk to Remember, and I remember that was a
really interesting, another strange season where you're these punk kids
from San Diego, like stand in between your toes walking
the red carpet, and I remember distinctly we get to
the part where the photographers are taking pictures and they're
(09:55):
snapping away, and then one of them stops and says, wait,
who are you? It was? Are you in the movie?
What is your role in this thing?
Speaker 8 (10:06):
David?
Speaker 4 (10:08):
I remember that he was walking behind us. They knew
who he was.
Speaker 5 (10:13):
There's a massive resurgence online. I don't know if you've
seen this yet, but there are videos of millennial parents
showing their children Walk to Remembers for the first time
that they're following them and putting it online and watching
their reactions and watching their reactions because they know What's coming.
It is heartbreaking but so funny, and of course your
music is just playing in the background all the entire time.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
So if you have a minute, go check it out.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
It's some of my favorite videos and I cannot wait
to do it to our almost thirteen year old. So
I'm very I'm very much looking for to you.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
It was pretty wild.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
It's pretty wild is that you guys would have more
than one song on like a soundtrack line?
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Right? That doesn't really happen. Yeah, it's pretty sick. It
was wild, and they just kept it was like half
the soundtrack. I remember that.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
I was like, this is nuts.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Goodwill Hunting was a big movie for us.
Speaker 6 (10:59):
That's how we discovered Elliott Smith and I remember thinking like,
could this be our Goodwill Hunting moment? Like we're taking
a little soundtrack?
Speaker 4 (11:08):
You know, that's wild.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Where did that come from? Was it the director? Was
it a team around the soundtrack? Or a girl that
John and I went to high school with. She and
I were in a bunch of classes together. She ended
up in la right after high school being the assistant
to Mandy Moore's manager because she heard they were looking
for songs for the film and one day, she kind
of shyly walked in and was like, hey, got these guys,
(11:32):
well friends of mine from high school. I never do this,
but h and Mandy heard only Hope and wanted to
sing it in the film totally. And then it just
kind of snowballed. It was like another song, Hey, could
we use another one? And then I think by the
end of it was like five songs.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Wow, that's incredible. That like never happens, right, That's like,
already get one song placed on something, but.
Speaker 6 (11:55):
Then like you know, you do a million things where
you're like, what's going to move the needle and what
isn't and you never know, right, So I think that
was happening, you know, one side, and then the other
side we were going into the studio to make our
what we thought was our last album, so all this
was happening at the same time, and it just kind
of created this moment that we would have never expected.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
It's incredible.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
I'm curious, like, after all these years, you guys have
done some incredible stuff, do you still feel like you've
got some bucketless items as a band that you're like,
we'd love to do this, we gotta do this, or
we got to play here.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
M that's a good question. I would love to play
another show at Red Rocks. That's always I mean, every
time we play there, it's it's it feels like a
bucket list totally.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
We should play together, guys, Let's go Sick Jonas switch Foot,
Red Rocks, would be would be fire.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
I mean, yeah, we had a ton of fun having
you guys out at MetLife for the kickoff of the
tours in same night.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
You guys are insane. Yeah, could I just light on
like because we do, we're like the same kind of
swing for the fences. Let's let's throw it all in.
But I just want to point out you have a
first night of tour, which is always calamitous. You have
it in you know, a stadium, a huge stadium in
your hometown, in your hometown. That's always another another dreadful thing,
(13:21):
another another thing. And then you have like you have
even more guests. Yeah, and you were so calm, all
three of you guys were. I remember there was like
all sorts of things, you know, fires being put out
just before you're to go on stage, and you guys
are just heart rate, slow, calm, breathing, normal truly. Yeah,
(13:42):
it was.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
It was inspired, like you know, kind of love the chaos,
and that night, you know, it was it was really
special because the whole idea of the special Guest thing
stemmed from actually the collaboration on Gretisch from Hometown, the
album that we put out and that you guys were
featured on, and we did that song and and you know,
it was really about kind of giving flowers to people
(14:05):
that have been a part of our journey and saying,
you know, thank you, and being able to share those
those moments with them. And you know, between you and
and and Demi, there's there's a lot of like significant
moments kind of for.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Us that night. But it was crazy. I remember what
it was done.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
I was like, I don't know how how all these
pieces actually came together, but it was. It was really
quite fun. And then you know, the song that we
got to do for the album, I remember we sent
it to you guys again on theme Swing for the Fences,
thinking who knows if they'll be into this. Within I
think a week or two you sent back the full track.
It sounded incredible, and thank you for being on the record.
(14:44):
First of all, so much. Thanks It was it.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
Was big for us, thank you for having us on
greeting from your hometown. The moment we heard it, it
was it's a it's such a an infectious song. I
feel like it has a great just it has a
heartbeat that that we loved from the beginning. So love that. Yeah,
there's no no arm twisting to be a part of it,
(15:10):
and I love I also love the fact that you guys.
I remember, I think it was a zoom or something
where we're like, okay, so you want us to write
a bridge, you know, And I can't remember who it was,
but I think it was you. You're like, I'm thinking
like change tempo change, you know, Like I'm like, wow, okay,
so that's that's not the pop you know formula that we.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Wanted the full.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
We wanted the full switch foot slow down the Field,
and you guys did it and nailed that. That's like
my favorite. It's so weird that song. Actually, we played
it only a few times, you know, in full. Obviously
most of the time it was with you guys. But
when we did, I would leave the show after all
this music we played that night, and I'd be in
my bed staring at the ceiling. And that's the song
that would be still playing in my head.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
So like it definitely stays with you.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
That is odd, like the end of a weekend of music.
What is the song that is in your head?
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Yeah, oh no, it's a great song.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
So your new album Forever Now tell us about it.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
It is an attempt to basically, if you had to
distill your last day here on the planet, what would
you do? And I think it brings life into focus.
It brings people into focus. It brings conflict into focus
to where you say, this doesn't matter as much as
(16:29):
I thought it did. I need to go spend time
with my kids or that sort of thing. And for
us as a band, it also brought into focus, like
I'm sure it's the same for you guys, where you
chase so many different flavors and colors that you love musically,
where you think, oh yeah, that record's great, let's see
if we can do something like that. But this album
(16:50):
is an attempt to make the only the record that
only switch Foot could make, so to fall back in
love with rock and roll and to bring that San Diego,
you know, Sam between your toes rock and roll.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Yeah, that's beautiful, and you mentioned, you know, briefly about
spending time with their kids before we started recording it.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
You're open to sharing.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
You mentioned pretty cool memory from your collective bro Am event,
and it just hit me so hard when you said
it as a girl dad, So you don't mind sharing.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Yeah, girl dad's out there. Yeah, I'm the softie like
you know, like it doesn't matter what movie, Avengers or whatever.
I'm like, oh gosh, this is getting me and my
daughter think it's hilarious. She's fourteen and they We do
this event called the bro Am switch Foot bro Am,
which is raising money and awareness for incredible kids in
(17:44):
our hometown. Greeting from your hometown. It's awesome, and so
it gives back to kids that you know, homeless, kids
at risk, youth, kids with special needs. And one of
the programs is Challenge Athletes Foundation. So we do this
Ushian session where kids with limb differences, kids with cerebral palsy,
(18:05):
different things that you know that they they're wrestling with.
We teach them how to surf and then there's a
thousand people on the beach all cheering them on and
it Wow, that's beautiful. It was, Yeah, it was it. Literally,
I've been in the in the ocean surfing thousands of times,
and this was a top five moment for me. And again,

Speaker 7 (22:18):
My question is, if you were preparing to interview yourself,

play music for the rest of my life was it
was about fourteen. I went and saw Nirvana in San Diego.
Sick Wow, Chili Peppers and Pearl Jam what.
Speaker 8 (22:36):

Speaker 4 (22:54):
I wish couldn't work a lot of money. I was fourteen.
I couldn't afford it because the chance got all these
legendary ping in, like looking from the the roof, like stories.
Speaker 7 (23:04):
Yeah, when you're underage, like we used to. There was
a club in San Diego that had a skylight above
the stage and we used to climb up and watch
the bands from above. And in the middle of the
show when time was banned fire hose, somebody in the
front row is pointing at us, and they stopped the
show and they made everybody look up and wave at us,
and then the security came.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
And backfired. But cool moment.

Where was the Pearl Jam Nirvana show. It's at the
Delmar Fairgrounds. How many people were there?

their shows where it was like clubs.

the lights and the whole thing is crazy, and then
