Some may have heard this, some not. But, Jon Foreman, acclaimed singer and writer of the band, Switchfoot, has decided to put on an EP of all the seasons. That’s right, the seasons. Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer, will bring forth an EP of Foreman’s “softer songs.”

Here is the message from his website:

“During my years in Switchfoot I have been fortunate enough to stumble across all sorts of songs as a songwriter- some are perfect for a rock band to play and others are far too intimate. Some need to be played in arenas with electric guitars, some deserve to be played with simply a cello and a bass clarinet.

Tim, Chad, and the boys, (and many of you) have been encouraging me to get the softer songs out for years. Now that we are independent, that dream of ours is finally coming true.

Over the course of the year I will be releasing 4 ep’s, with 6 songs on each ep. The ep’s will be seasonal: fall, winter, spring & summer.”

Truth be told, you need to know that I am not the biggest Switchfoot fan. The Beautiful Letdown in my opinion was their magnum opus, and I’m not sure they’ll ever release something as good as that record in their years to come. But, they still are a great rock band with songs that reach a handful of people in this day and age. Not just your average rock band out today (I’m referring to Nickelback, Hinder, and a few other bands that are considered ‘rock’ these days). At least their lyrics have meaning, is my point here.
