Reimagined by indie pop group lovelytheband
Multi-platinum selling rock band Switchfoot has shared a new remix of “i need you (to be wrong)” by the Los Angeles-based indie-pop group, lovelytheband. Originally released as the lead single from Switchfoot’s critically acclaimed 2021 album Interrobang, the new version adds an atmospheric, three-dimensional sensation to the poignant track.
“This was almost a remix in reverse: taking a dissonant idiosyncratic single and making it sweet,” Switchfoot shares of the reimagination. “Lovelytheband did a great job – loved hearing their take on this one!”
Loveytheband, comprised of Mitch Collins (vocals, guitar), Jordan Greenwald (guitar, keyboards), and Sam Price (drums), first charted with their hit single, “Broken,” in 2017 and have been rising through the ranks of alternative pop ever since. Switchfoot has been a longtime inspiration to the group, so the collaboration felt both surreal and natural.
“The first band I was ever a fan of was Switchfoot,” remarks Price. “To work with them on a song was a movie-like, full circle moment. It was truly special! I tried to bring as much of lovely into this version of “i need you (to be wrong)”, and I’m pumped on how it turned out.”
Switchfoot will hit the road this summer for a major tour across America with Collective Soul for the first time. Fans can expect to hear favorites that span Switchfoot’s illustrious 20+ year career including selections from the acclaimed Interrobang, released in August of last year.
The shows kick off in Gary, IN on July 15th and includes a hometown date at Cal Coast Credit Union Open Air Theatre in San Diego on August 24th. In addition, the tour includes stops at the YouTube Theatre in Inglewood, CA, and Palladium Times Square in New York City. The 40+ date tour wraps up on September 25th in Dallas, TX.
