Switchfoot and Dashboard Confessional featured on soundtrack album for Spider-Man 2.
SAN DIEGO Christian rock band Switchfoot are one of the acts
associated with the soundtrack for the new blockbuster movie
Spider-Man 2. In what Sony Entertainment is calling the most ambitious
global marketing plan ever for a soundtrack, as many as 11 different
versions of the soundtrack are to be released internationally. One of
the chief goals is to break selected Sony artists on the album in
multiple markets. In the USA Columbia Records/Sony Music Soundtrax
released the 15-song 'Spider-Man 2' compilation soundtrack on June
22nd. Dashboard Confessional's "Vindicated" and Train's "Ordinary" are
the co-lead singles from the US and Canadian versions of the album
while in Europe tracks by California's Switchfoot and Sweden's Ana
Johnnson are being released in most markets. Most of the songs on the
soundtrack do not appear in the movie.
That's pretty sweet; I've noticed Switchfoot contributes music to movies they find wholesome, i.e. A Walk To Remember.
