** "Dirty Second Hands" from ''Oh! Gravity'' cranks this UpToEleven. It moves back and forth between 5/8 and 6/4 during the verses, throws in a hardly discernible time signature during the chorus, only to move to full-on 6/4 during the last third of the song. Long story short, the song's a musical MindScrew.

Switchfoot are an alternative rock band from San Diego, California. The band's members are Jon Foreman (lead vocals, guitar), Tim Foreman (bass guitar, backing vocals), Chad Butler (drums, percussion), Jerome Fontamillas (guitar, keyboards, backing vocals, accordion, pretty much everything else, really ), and Drew Shirley (guitar, backing vocals).
Formed in 1996, the Foreman brothers, sons of a local Baptist preacher, got fellow band-mate Chad Butler together and started recording music. They were then discovered by producer Music/{{Charlie Peacock}} who signed them to his re:think indie label and produced their second and third albums. Their first three albums, ''The Legend Of Chin'' (1997), ''New Way To Be Human'' (1999), and ''Learning To Breathe'' (2000) helped the band gain some indie status, and also snagged them a few Grammy nominations for Christian music.
After re:think was bought by Sparrow Records, Switchfoot signed to Creator/ColumbiaRecords in 2002 and released their breakthrough album, ''A Beautiful Letdown'' in 2003. They gained two radio hits from it, the epic "Meant To Live" and the heartwarming "Dare You To Move" (the latter had previously appeared on ''Learning To Breathe'', but was remixed and rerecorded for the new album). Their music started massively being used in TV commercials and shows, quickly growing them more recognition.

** During their 2007 tour, Jon deliberately destroyed his guitar on stage during the finale of 'Dirty Second Hands', and then proceeded to bang on a cymbal with what was left of the neck. According to their video podcast, he'd planned it in advance and they even filmed him saying 'goodbye' to the guitar backstage before the show.

* MeaningfulName: "Switchfoot" is a surfing term that means to change one's stance on the surfboard and face the opposite direction. Ties in nicely with the band's passion for surfing and philosophical approach to life and music.

** Subverted in the case of the guitar on the cover of ''The Beautiful Letdown'': the band originally wanted to light it on fire, then changed the plan to breaking it in half instead when told they weren't allowed to set things on fire. By then Jon had grown too attached to the guitar, so they ended up putting it intact at the bottom of a pool.
