Grayslake, Chicago IL, United States (1994 – present)

Chevelle is an alternative rock band from Grayslake, IL. They formed in 1994 with the members of Sam Loeffler, Pete Loeffler (brothers) and Matt Scott. Matt was later replaced in 1996 by Joe Loeffler as bass player. On July 10, 2005 Joe was fired because of “irreconcilable differences”. Geno Lenardo (Filter) filled in until August 2005, when Dean Bernardini (brother-in-law to the Loefflers) became the new bass player of Chevelle.

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. They started out playing parties and outdoor events, which quickly led to bookings at Chicago clubs when youngest member Joe was just 16. In 1999, Chevelle released their Steve Albini-produced debut album, Point #1, on Squint Entertainment. Three years later — and following tours with bands like Filter, Sevendust, Powerman 5000, and Machine Head — the band had inked a deal with Epic and issued Wonder What’s Next, released in August 2002. The album went platinum by the next summer and their second single, “

Send the Pain Below,” was a number one hit on modern rock and mainstream radio.

Chevelle released their newest album, Vena Sera, on April 13, 2007., Vena Sera.

I like Jars a lot. I disagree about it lacking energy. I think there's energy all over that song and it has some very cool imagery in the lyrics.

Maybe jars is kinda soft because it's radio-oriented, so it suppose to sound like that. But I hope sci-fi crimes will have a lot more songs heavier than jars. Actually, I do like this one)

I'm loving Jars. It's one of those songs that grow on you the more you listen to it. Though I was hooked on the first listen.

I love Chevelle. I agree that, while Jars is fairly decent, it's a little soft. I still like it though, and I think it will grow on me even more. Letter From a Thief and Sleep Apnea both look to sound much more energetic, and some of the behind-the-scenes stuff on their Myspace page sounds good, so I still have lots of hope for Sci Fi Crimes. And I just listened to Jars again, and I'm already liking it more.
