Heck yeah, Switchfoot!

Switchfoot - “Dark Horses”

“Our first single, “Dark Horses,” is heavily inspired by the homeless kids in our hometown of San Diego. We do an event every year called the Bro-Am. It’s a surf contest and concert on the beach. And it benefits Stand Up For Kids, which is an organization that works with these homeless kids. They are the true dark horses. In [nearby] Seattle there’s a huge culture of homelessness amongst kids on the streets. These aren’t kids who chose homelessness. They’ve been thrust into an adult world as children – from broken homes, from being kicked out of homes, from dysfunctional parents, a variety of situations. They’re the dark horses this society has written off. And you can’t count them out.”
