Chiodos
All Music Guide
Originally known as the Chiodos Bros., the sextet better known as simply Chiodos (pronounced chee-OH-dose) -- named after an obscure 80s horror movie term -- came together during high school in their hometown of Davison, MI, located just outside of Flint. Citing influences like Saves the Day, At the Drive-In, and Queen, the bands sound was a melting pot of punk energy, metal riffing, melodic instincts, piano tinkering, and occasional electronic beats that prevented an easy genre classification. Comprised of vocalist Craig Owens, keyboardist/vocalist Bradley Bell, guitarists Pat McManaman and Jason Hale, bassist Matt Goddard, and drummer Derrick Frost, the band recorded a demo, The Best Way to Ruin Your Life, in June 2002. The release, along with the bands energetic and powerful live show, helped bolster a notable local following.

They next self-recorded and produced the seven-song The Heartless Control Everything in McManamans bedroom, which was subsequently issued by Ann Arbor-based indie Search and Rescue in January 2003. Following the release, the guys hit the road hard, trekking across the nation seven times over, including shows with Yellowcard and Coheed & Cambria. All this activity and buzz eventually led to a 2004 signing with Equal Vision, which then released Alls Well That Ends Well in July 2005. Chiodos stayed on the road and spent early 2006 playing Sub Citys ~Take Action Tour and a successful spot at ~Bamboozle. A full summers worth of shows got underway that May, including a handful of ~Warped Tour dates, before spending fall opening for heavy-hitters Atreyu. Owens was also involved for a time in the rotating cast of musicians that made up the Sound of Animals Fighting.
