Chiodos is an American post-hardcore band from Davison, Michigan, formed in 2001. Originally known as “The Chiodos Bros.” the band’s name was a tribute to filmmakers Stephen, Charles, and Edward Chiodo, responsible for the movie Killer Klowns from Outer Space. Their second full length album, Bone Palace Ballet, was released in North America on September 4, 2007 and debuted at number 5 on the Billboard 200 and number 1 on Top Independent Albums. Warner Bros. Records released Bone Palace Ballet on January 26, 2009, as part of a new distribution deal in the UK.
Chiodos was formed at the Flint Local 432, a small venue in downtown Flint, Michigan and Olde Jamestowne Hall in Saginaw, Michigan. The band is known for their on-stage performances which include controlled, high-pitched vocals from former lead singer, Craig Owens. Craig Owens has cited lead singer of Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, etc. fame, Mike Patton as one of his greatest influences saying, “I only wish I could be as good as him.”
Their debut album, All’s Well That Ends Well (Equal Vision Records) was released on July 26, 2005. It reached #3 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers chart and #164 on the Billboard Top 200 chart. While their sophomore album, Bone Palace Ballet reached the number 5 spot on the Billboard 200. The band’s albums and live performances have garnered praise from press outlets.
Chiodos headlined some shows on their own before joining Alternative Press’s 2006 “Invisible Sideshow” tour, headlined by Armor for Sleep.

At first, i thought the same as a lot of you guys...'no craig = no chiodos' but the truth is, thought his vox did make a big difference (IMO) they just need to find someone whose amped to rise to the occasion. A new singer ounding similar to craig would only distract from their progression or aftermath of this 'dropping'.

They'll be fine without Craig IMO, as long as they pick the right vocalist. You have to understand the amount of people they're going to have to choose from, they should be able to find someone. Also: The most secretly progressive post hardcore band right now, lawl.

I hope they'll be focusing more on epic instrumentals, like they did on All's Well. Bone Palace was shit, and such a disappointment.

I saw Craig last night and I really dig how classy he's been about the whole getting kicked out thing. He was just like "This is the very last time I'm ever going to be playing these Chiodos songs and I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a little bittersweet. I want you guys to always stand by anything the Chiodos guys do because they're all awesome musicians. No, I haven't talked to any of them since this all happened, but that's of their own discretion." 'cause we all know if he wanted to- he could start a ton of shit for them, but he's not.
