Switchfoot man Jon Foreman announces four solo EPs

THE FRONTMAN of San Diego rocker Switchfoot, Jon Foreman, is releasing four solo EPs independently in the coming months. These EPs, titled 'Fall', 'Winter', 'Spring' and 'Summer', will be released prior to the upcoming Switchfoot release in late 2008. Said Foreman, ""Because of the autobiographical nature of these songs, they became a self portrait that was far too personal for a band to release. Tim, Chad and the rest of the band have been pushing me to get these types of songs out there for years. So I decided to let them go."

According to Foreman the songwriting and production of these EPs were creatively intertwined. "Most of these songs were written and recorded the same night," said Foreman. "I would sing and play my guitar late at night until I got a take that captured what the song meant to me. From there I would add instruments to the vocal to see what would be appropriate. It was a very therapeutic, lonely, cleansing process."

The 'Fall' EP was released on 20th November and is available at all of the digital music stores and at www.jonforeman.com. The 'Winter' EP will be released on 15th January and will be available both digitally and as part of a physical package along with the 'Fall' EP. The 'Spring' and 'Summer' EPs will be released within the first half of 2008. These EPs will be the debut releases from Switchfoot's indie imprint, lowercase people records, in conjunction with EMI Music's Credential Recordings.
