Chiodos
Post Hardcore

The band Chiodos formed in high school, just outside of Flint, MI. Then known as The Chiodos Bros, they played the local scene and

began writing original music. In June 2002, they recorded a demo called, The Best Way To Ruin Your Life, which gave the group a

The band Chiodos formed in high school, just outside of Flint, MI. Then known as The Chiodos Bros, they played the local scene and

healthy local following.



Chiodos� style and layered complexity have strengthened over time, yet they�ve always been in control of their music. Shortly after

their demo release in 2002, the band used guitarist Pat McManaman�s bedroom to self-record, engineer, produce, and master their

first full-length album, The Heartless Control Everything, which was soon after released on Search and Rescue Records. Although the

album was a raw effort, it did not go unnoticed � fans from hometown state of Michigan and beyond buzzed about the album, along

with praise of the band�s live performances



The band�s style only definable as a melting pot � band influences include Saves The Day, Queen, and At The Drive In � a song could

begin with electronic beats behind piano, ease into metal guitar riffs, then speed into a poppy melodic vocal line that leaves you

humming. Lead singer Craig Owens says, �We don�t want to feel pressured into a single genre�we have a rule to stay away from

�verse-chorus-verse� songwriting.� « hide
