Today, GRAMMY Award-winning rock band SWITCHFOOT released their new Covers EP via Fantasy Records. The digital-only 6-track EP features songs from an eclectic group of artists including Vampire Weekend, The Verve, Harry Styles, The Chainsmokers, Jon Bellion and Frank Ocean. The band has previously shared their versions of Frank Ocean’s “Swim Good”, Vampire Weekend’s “Harmony Hall”, and The Verve’s late 90’s classic “Lucky Man” which Billboard recently highlighted in their ’10 Cool New Pop Songs To Get You Through The Week’ playlist.
“Covers tackles a wide variety of artists creating a listening experience that has something for everyone.” – 4 out of 5 stars, Cryptic Rock
“The six-song Covers selection is a sometimes-surprising smattering of contemporary songs which are given that undeniable Switchfoot fingerprint.” – California Rockers
Additionally, the 16th annual SWITCHFOOT BRO-AM will be live streaming Saturday, June 27th at 5pm Pacific / 8pm Eastern on www.SWITCHFOOT.com and tickets are on sale now.
