Switchfoot drummer Chad Butler was featured in a 10-page cover spread in the March 2010 issue of Drum! magazine.
In the article, Butler talks about the band’s two year break from touring and their latest album, Hello Hurricane, as well as his faith and the limits of the “Christian band” label.
“I’m a believer and I’m honored to be associated with the name of Christ,” Butler says in the artisle. “But to call ourselves a Christian band puts up a wall and makes people feel uninvited to the party.”
Switchfoot is currently playing some North American tour dates before leaving on an international tour that will take them to Australia, Japan and the U.K.
You can read the article online on the Drum Magazine website.
