Hey fans! I hope you’re all enjoying your week so far. We’ve got a few good update for you today, so settle back and read on!
First up, Switchfoot will be playing the Rock&Roll Marathon THIS Saturday in DC. If any LOBHers are going and you’d like to share photos, videos and setlists with the rest of the community, be sure to email us at news@landofbrokenhearts.org – thanks!
Now, let’s talk about the forthcoming release of Vice Re-Verses. The cover art for the new release was just released on Monday (check it out HERE if you haven’t seen it yet), and we’re stoked for it. A lot of you have also had some questions about where you can purchase the CD. First, just to clarify, “limited edition Physical CD release on April 21st, Record Store Day. Available digitally May 1st” so you can always get a digital copy – but I understand the desire to get a physical CD. Fortunately, Andy Barron took to the LOBH comments to answer a few of the questions you all had… thanks Andy!:
X Hits – a compilation CD of the year’s “Best Christian Rock Hits” features Dark Horses as the #1 track. Click HERE for more info. (Thanks Tim!)
I hope you guys have already gotten your tickets if you’re going to any Switchfoot shows this summer – their show in DC has already sold out, as has the Hang Out Festival they’ll be playing at in Hawaii! By the way, the guys have also been confirmed once again for the San Diego County Fair this year – click HERE for more info.
The new Switchbeats promotion site is doing a great job at getting all the “Afterlife” promo info to fans – so do your part! Head over HERE to visit the site and be sure to request the song on at least 2 request lines today. That’s all we ask! Thanks!
Lastly, because even though we posted this over a year ago, we STILL keep getting e-mails about it – so for all those who don’t know, Switchfoot’s “This Is Home” is featured prominently in the trailer for the upcoming movie “Chimpanzee” – pretty cute!
Oh I got all excited about the hangout festival- it looks like its in alabama not hawaii
They are at the HIM conference and at the new surferbar on the north shore
totally stoked for them at hawaii convention center!
Oh my gosh. That Chimpanzee movie with Switchfoot music just made my day. The idea is so cute and hilarious hahahaha
But, I buy my Switchfoot albums on switchfoot.com, will it be available there? (physical cd)
cause I live in South America so… and i really want this record!
wait…I thought the show in DC was “free and open to the public”??? Why is sold-out ???? so confused!
Every time I see the commercial for chimpanzee I smile
I saw the chimpanzee commercial the other day and it made me SOOO hahhy!!
Will Switchfoot have the CD available through their website store, because we don’t have any record stores around here anymore!
Probably not, because it’s a “record store day exclusive”, but of course, I’m not 100% sure.
It’ll be up on iTunes on May 1, though.
No, it will only be available digitally online
I talked to a representative from Record Store Day the other day about this matter, and this is what she had to say:
“All the stores bring in their own stock, and they do all their ordering independently of us. It’s entirely possible to talk to a store in advance and tell them you’d be interested in a specific piece. And keep in mind, there are a lot of pieces, so any one employee, at any given time, may not know about a specific title.
We do recommend that you talk with the store you plan on celebrating Record Store Day with about what pieces you’d like to see, and what they’re planning to bring in (if they’re planning to bring in the releases—some stores who don’t sell new releases on a regular basis, may not be planning to bring in the releases).”

Also, keep up the AWESOME work requesting! Last week, we were ONE play out of getting into the Billboard Alternative Top 40. We were #1 on the indicator chart’s “most added” list. We’re rising on the Christian billboard charts (#33). Rising on Mediabase Alternative (#34 – 17 up from last week!).
This single is going places.
Its pretty cool switchfoot is in the christian rock hits of 2012! they were also in it last year!
Will this be available in Canada too?
