The following year, the band celebrated their ten-year anniversary in the music business with a pair of live shows in Chicago, later released on the concert film Any Last Words. With the new member came a newfound energy and optimism that replaced the internal bickering of the past, and the guys carried that spirit into the recording of their next two albums, 2007's Vena Sera and 2009's Sci-Fi Crimes. Main-stage dates with the annual Ozzfest tour followed that summer, and 2003 brought a concert album, Live from the Road.Ĭhevelle returned in the fall of 2004 with their third full-length effort, This Type of Thinking (Could Do Us In), and with it came another hit song, "Vitamin R (Leading Us Along)." Joe parted ways with his brothers in July 2005, and though he was replaced on bass a month later by Dean Bernardini, Chevelle remained a family affair, since Bernardini was the siblings' brother-in-law. The album went platinum by the following summer, propelled in part by its second single, "Send the Pain Below," which became a number one hit on modern rock and mainstream radio. Three years later, following tours with groups like Filter, Sevendust, Powerman 5000, and Machine Head, the band inked a deal with Epic and issued Wonder What's Next, released in August 2002.
In 1999, Chevelle released their Steve Albini-produced debut album, Point #1, on Squint Entertainment. Chevelle spent the 2010s and beyond crystallizing their radio-friendly but punishing blend of alternative metal, post-grunge, and hard rock on anthemic, commercial-grade works like The North Corridor (2016) and Niratias (2021).įormed in 1995 and comprising brothers Sam (drums), Pete (vocals, guitar), and Joe Loeffler (bass), the band began playing parties and outdoor events, which quickly led to bookings at Chicago clubs when youngest member Joe was just 14 years old. Emerging in the late '90s, the band broke big in 2002 with the release of their sophomore full-length, Wonder What's Next, and continued to lay waste to the Billboard charts with platinum- and gold-selling outings like 2004's This Type of Thinking (Could Do Us In) and 2009's Sci-Fi Crimes. An aggressive and riff-heavy, sibling-led Chicago band that evolved from moody indie rockers to a platinum-selling alt-metal act, Chevelle is inspired by the lurching riffs of Helmet and the soft-loud vocal dynamics of Tool.
