Inspired by the lurching riffs of Helmet and the soft-loud
vocal styling of Tool, Chicago-based trio Chevelle's aggressive, heavy
sound is all about mounting tension exploding into raw guitar bursts.
Formed in 1995, Chevelle's members are brothers Sam (drums), Pete
(vocals, guitar) and Joe (bass) Loeffler. They started out playing parties and
outdoor events, which quickly led to bookings at Chicago clubs when
youngest member Joe was just 14. In 1999, the band released their Steve
Albini-produced debut album, Point #1, on Squint Entertainment. Three
years later, the band inked a deal with Epic and issued Wonder What's
Next. In June, the album went platinum and their second single "Send The
Pain Below" was a #1 hit at modern rock and mainstream radio. Main stage
dates with the annual Ozzfest tour followed that summer.
