Jon Foreman (vocals/guitar) / Tim Foreman (bass) / Chad Butler (drums) / Jerome Fontamillas (keyboard/guitar) / Drew Shirley (guitar) Switchfoot has sold 5.5 million copies worldwide of their eight studio albums, racked up a string of Alternative radio hit singles (“Meant to Live,” “Dare You To Move,” “Mess of Me,” “The Sound (John M. Perkins’ Blues),” “Dark Horses,” and “Afterlife”), performed sold-out world tours (visiting five continents in the past year alone), raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to aid homeless kids in their community through their own Bro-Am Foundation, and earned themselves a global fan base devoted to Switchfoot’s emotionally intelligent and uplifting brand of alternative rock. So when it came time to write the songs that would make up their ninth studio album, the members of Switchfoot were looking for a challenge. “The point became, ‘What are we going to do to push ourselves,’” Jon Foreman recalls. “Could we take ourselves somewhere we’d never been before, yet achieve a feeling of comfort at the same time? How do we go to a new place that feels like home?” Switchfoot found the answers on the road and in the waves. A year ago, while touring in support of their 2011 album Vice Verses, the long-time surfers set out in search of inspiration by visiting several of their favorite surf breaks around the world. “The idea was to surf, write songs, play music, and see what ideas came,” says Tim. The band traveled to Jeffreys Bay and Crayfish Factory in South Africa, Bronte Beach in Australia, Raglan in New Zealand, and Uluwatu in Bali, and chronicled their physical and emotional journey, as well as their unshakeable brotherly bond, in Fading West — a documentary film that features stunning locales, revealing interviews, jubilant live footage, and glimpses of Switchfoot at home and in their studio in San Diego. Like Rattle and Hum meets Endless Summer, the movie is part travelogue, part surf film, and part behind-the-scenes look at the making of the band’s upcoming new album, which will also be entitled Fading West. Not surprisingly, the album, which finds Switchfoot returning to the melodic pop sensibility of their early years, was inspired by the sea, which Jon describes as a perfect metaphor for simultaneously experiencing comfort and danger. “You’re comfortable out there, but it’s the unknown,” he says. “You can paddle out in South Africa and it’s exactly like home and nothing like home all at once. That’s what I’m hoping our record feels like – trying to find peace in dangerous places.”

ALBUM OVERVIEW:
First came the epic television miniseries, THE BIBLE. Watched by over 100 million people, the 10-hour series aired on the History Channel to rave reviews and 3 Emmy Award nominations. The series spawned the release of two music CDs, an “Inspired-by” project and the orchestral score, and a novelization of the series entitled A Story Of God And All Of Us. The DVD/Blu-ray quickly followed, becoming the biggest-selling miniseries on DVD in its first week of release and biggest on Blu-ray and Digital HD of all time.
BUT GET READY FOR “ACT 2”... Producers Roma Downey and Mark Burnett have teamed up once again to release the biggest theatrical movie of 2014 - SON OF GOD on February 28th. This major motion picture from 20th Century Fox focuses exclusively on JESUS - his birth, life, crucifixion, resurrection and ascension to heaven. Word Records is honored once again to work with Mark and Roma on creating a multi-artist “Inspired-by” CD project, entitled SON OF GOD: Music Inspired By The Epic Motion Picture. This 12-song collection features the biggest names in Christian music singing songs that beautifully accompany the telling of the greatest story ever told: • THE BIRTH OF CHRIST – for KING & COUNTRY’s “Baby Boy” • THE MINISTRY/WORDS OF JESUS – Group 1Crew & Chris August’s “He Said” • THE CRUCIFIXON – Francesca Battistelli’s “Lead Me To The Cross” • THE WORK OF CHRIST ON THE CROSS – Big Daddy Weave’s “Redeemed,” Sidewalk Prophets’ “Keep Making Me,” Dara Maclean’s “Our Only Hope” and Point Of Grace’s “Only Jesus” • THE DOUBTING OF THOMAS – Jason Castro’s “I Believe” • THE GREAT COMMISSION – Everfound’s “God Of The Impossible • THE GIVING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT – Love & The Outcome’s “He Is With Us” • THE RETURN OF CHRIST & THE WONDERS OF HEAVEN – Chris August’s “Amen”
The project ends with Meredith Andrews’ “The Gospel Changes Everything,” which beautifully encapsulates the theme of the movie and the CD. Featuring TWO #1 RADIO SONGS as well as FIVE CURRENT RADIO SINGLES presently climbing the charts, this CD is filled with hits your customers love and makes an endearing musical companion to the SON OF GOD film and subsequent DVD.

RUSS TAFF BEGINNINGS ALBUM OVERVIEW:
If you were to ask the question, “What male singer has had the greatest impact on Contemporary Christian Music?”, more times than not you’ll get the answer: “RUSS TAFF.” With 5 Grammy Awards and 9 Dove Awards to his credit, Russ has been hailed by Billboard Magazine as “the single most electrifying voice in Christian music.” It all started in the mid-70s, just as Contemporary Christian Music was gaining prominence, when a 21 year-old Russ Taff formed a local band called Sounds of Joy. As the band gained in popularity they got the opportunity of a lifetime and were asked to open for the legendary Imperials. And it didn’t take long for the Imperials to recognize a voice that would successfully complete their musical transition from traditional to CCM. So, in 1976 Russ was invited to join the Imperials as lead singer. And as they say, the rest is history! Russ spent four and a half years with the Imperials,recording many of their most successful albums and gaining recognition as “The Voice” behind some of the biggest songs in Contemporary Christian Music. This 12-song collection features Russ at his very best during his days with the Imperials - taken from the Grammy Award and Dove Award-winning albums, Priority, One More Song For You, and Heed The Call.
