In 2005, prior to the release of ''Nothing Is Sound'', Switchfoot announced that guitarist Drew Shirley (previously the guitarist for [[All Together Separate]]) had joined as the band's fifth member after touring with the band since 2003.<ref name="Legacy">{{cite web|url=http://www.legacyrecordings.com/Switchfoot/bio |title=Switchfoot Bio |publisher=[[Legacy Recordings]] |access-date=November 18, 2009 }}{{dead link|date=May 2016|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}
