i think its a good cover. pretty much no arranging involved which when you're covering a song you should do, even a switchfoot song.

however the singers good, tight band, better than i could do that song and the people there enjoyed it a lot so:

yay all the way baby.

2007-09-13T23:07:00.000-07:00

ok so for a band that i don't know they were pretty good...but they are defiantly missing that switchfoot touch...the p-p-p-professional part is like my favorite part of the song and it wasn't there...the lead singer kinda bugged me with the camera too...one minute it is there one minute it is not...and he seemed to be pacing and said yeah in between a lot of things...but i am gonna give them credit just because i know that i know i could not do what they did...so they are definitely better than me...lol

ummm wow!
im with die-to-live!
that was harsh but it's okay if you don't like them, you don't HAVE to.
i still say nay, but i give them PROPS!(like i said earlier)
i like that they worked so hard on that song. anyone who can get up on a stage and play a switchfoot song(or someone like switchfoot in popularity) has got alot of "class" or spunk!
LOL
it was okay

I already made a comment, but it was like the 3rd or 4th comment, so I'm going to make another one. I always get a little amused when these threads get so long and people get so bent out of shape over it.

I give this band golf claps. *clap clap* Maybe it was a seminar, maybe it was a garage gig, or maybe it was a church youth band, but whatever. They made it through the song, chose a great band and song to cover, and ultimitly had it put on youtube which lead them to switchfeed and viewed by all of us.

I'd say that's quite an accomplishment no matter how amature or p-p-professional your band is.

Golf claps indeed!

2007-09-12T20:25:00.000-07:00

um yah im with x3beccamariex3...that one anonymous post was pretty harsh. respect the fact that this band made an effort to emulate the band that we love.
@the band that did the cover: good job you guys!

would love to know what switchfoot thinks about it...

2007-09-11T20:26:00.000-07:00

would love to know what switchfoot thinks about it. I'm on staff at the church this was filmed at. What is so awesome about this is the fact that these guys did this to reach kids for Christ. Not to make it on the front page of switchfoot's web site. That's where serving God can lead you. Further than you ever intended.

Hey Switchfoot! come visit us at Marathon Church when you come to Greenville SC. We are about 10 minutes from the Bilo Center. Can't wait for the show.

2007-09-11T19:48:00.000-07:00

ok, constructive criticism is ok. Attacking isn't. Be respectful.

It's not switchfoot. It's a band who chose to cover a song of one of the best bands of all time. They're obviously very smart, and have a good musical taste. I think they did a great job, I never could've done as great of a job as they did. Maybe if I had a year or so to do it, but man, that was pretty dang good.

2007-09-11T19:40:00.000-07:00

I enjoy this band. There play some sweet mucis at our Youth Church. Not all of it sounds perfect but they are doing it for one reason and that is to see kids make a change in the way the live.

You should check out there myspace.

Proud of you guys, GREAT job!!! Way to go Jordan, remember who you’re playing for, our Lord God, Love Dad.

Psalm 100:2
Worship the LORD with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs

Definitely "yay". Better than Switchfoot.

2007-09-09T19:58:00.000-07:00

Well I have to agree with the ones who said it is a church service and not a concert. but I will say that I saw the lead singer Chasen Callahan perform at the Reliant k concert in Asheville NC. and he was awesome live and his voice was very powerful. (Chasenmusic.com)
I think the band was great, to all be in high school and I think a church having series called Best Sex Ever is awesome to. For me I would really like to know What Jon and the boys in switchfoot think

not really that good

2007-09-09T16:55:00.000-07:00

First things first- no one is better at playing Switchfoot songs better than Switchfoot! but besides that, I think they're pretty good. Although I was kinda missing Jon's voice and Jerome's cowbell solo, but I'll say yay anyway. =)

2007-09-09T15:44:00.000-07:00

I thought it was pretty good for a youth group band. The guy has a pretty good voice, and covers aren't meant to sound exactly like the original, people don't seem to notice that.
