It's 2011 and it's time to take a look ahead at another new year of music. So, once again, we're Highlighting our most anticipated projects already in development for the year. Read on to see what records the staff of Jesusfreakhideout.com are most excited about - and why!

	1 of 25   #1. Switchfoot Vice Verses Release Date: Sometime 2011 Honestly? I think we could leave this page blank except for "No. 1: Switchfoot" and people would understand why. They didn't let us down two years ago with Hello Hurricane and the much anticipated follow-up, Vice Verses, really doesn't look like it will either. They're finally hard at work on the record as we speak and that very thought makes us smile. We couldn't be more thrilled that this band is still at it fourteen years after their debut...         - John DiBiase I'm pretty sure Switchfoot sitting pretty at #1 on our list surprises no one, but these guys are undoubtedly living legends in this industry. 2009's Hello Hurricane proved to be yet another amazing entry in their discography, and as a result, Vice Verses looks to be nothing but greatness to eager anticipate in 2011...         - Roger Gelwicks Switchfoot has always been one of my all-time favorite bands, and thankfully, there has been no shortage of great new music from them in the past couple years. Hello Hurricane very quickly earned a place among my favorites, and the Eastern Hymns EP served as a nice interlude in the latter part of 2010. I can't wait to hear what they have in store for us with Vice Verses.         - Jen Rose Switchfoot is a very reliable rock band. After Hello Hurricane's massive success (which landed them spots on both Conan O'Brien AND Jimmy Fallon's late night shows), it's easy to say that Vice Verses has a lot of high expectations that will no doubt be met.         - Scott Fryberger After a phenomenal release (Hello Hurricane) in 2009 that was as equally as good as The Beautiful Letdown, it only builds the anticipation that much more in 2011.         - Wayne Myatt Even though I never got very excited about Switchfoot in the past, I still continued to buy their albums. But finally Hello Hurricane genuinely impressed me. It even got me through some hard times. I loved where they went with it in contrast to their previous work, and I thoroughly look forward to Vice Verses.         - Wayne Reimer Visit our Switchfoot page for more information about them... 2011 Countdown Recap: 25 | 24 | 23 | 22 | 21 | 20 | 19 | 18 | 17 | 16 | 15 | 14 | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 HONORABLE MENTIONS: Here are a few other artists that made our staff's individual lists that didn't quite make the top 25...
