and the worst part is that craig owens is in talks to rejoin.. the joy...

Apparently rumors are circulating about Craig coming back. They're just rumors, and there's absolutely no weight to them, but that shit would be hilarious if he did come back.

Band should break up or find a new singer and drummer, change their name, and start over.

Fantastic day for metal m/////////////////////

you can't

Wow. Band seems to be done then. I enjoyed these two dudes on their latest.

Their last album was gay as fuck
Their first album was alright

Shame 'cause their last album beats anything Craig has ever done.

Bad news. New vocalist is partly what made the last album kick ass.

Well, I guess this band is going to turn to shit once again.

You guys must have been on crack when you listened to their newest album

Ready for the ensuing drama.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

This is unfortunate, the new singer was great.

You guys must have been on crack when you listened to their newest album

This sucks, they were the only good members in the band.

Shame their last album was the only good thing they ever did,.

Hope Owens comes back! I have a soft spot for their first two albums!

I liked their first 2 albums. Never had a problem with Owens. I liked their latest a lot, though. Not as much as their first, but it was solid as fuck. Bolmer was a better fit for the band and they really matured as artists on their newest. I wouldn't mind Owens back in the band, but it sucks to see Bolmer go :-/

Here's hoping Brandon revives YR? :D

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Bad news. New vocalist is partly what made the last album kick ass. [2]

@cheese - Yeah I know it's never gunna happen. Still, one can dream can't they?

Holy shit, this was released over a year ago? Time seems to be just a flyin'

that's a shame. their last album was pretty great.

Damn. Illuminaudio was promising and I liked them with owens.

Wow. Band seems to be done then. I enjoyed these two dudes on their latest.[2]

that was directed towards the news itself

What a shame.

I am legitimately mad.

Brandon was a fantastic vocalist, and one of the reasons I loved "Illuminaudio". Fuck Craig. Guy can't sing worth shit.

I heard they are breaking up

Craig sucks dick, Brandon is so much better for the band. Band is dead now.

Hah!

NOOOOOOOOOO
his vocals were awesome on the last album. took me a while to get really into it though..

fuck craig owens

Dang from the sound of those statements, the only serious members are leaving

And I was just starting to get into Illuminaudio too

Tanner Wayne is such a good drummer. I wish he would convince Nick to leave D.R.U.G.S. and reform Underminded. That band was awesome.

Sick of this fuckin band

I like all their stuff but their last album was their best. Bolmer is the main reason of that. Dude's an incredible vocalist.

If Craig rejoins Chiodos then the only explanation would be that this whole thing (including kicking Craig out) was a huge publicity stunt. Brandon probably signed on temporarily, made one record, toured, and then his contract was up.

I would not put something this elaborate past Craig Owens. He's good at selling drama.

Sucks because this band is back to being shit most likely.

their last album is the only one i listened to, and these guys stood out the most.

such a shame...

Sucks I love illuminaudio.

What the hell I thought Rosa left/got banned.

Anyways, never listened to the band. Couldn't care anyways.

Listening to illuminaudio for 24 hours straight my little way to show respect.

do....do-do-do....


la-la-la...la-la-la...la-la-la...

thought list said chodes lose singer

Not sure why, but I found this comment to be hilarious.


It made my body warm.

lol Tanner Wayne filled in on drums for Emmure? Wasn't he in SKSK?

After reading what both Tanner and Brandon wrote it's safe to say the band is dead.

It's a shame. I love these guys. I even loved it when Craig was in it. The band's always clicked with me, I guess.

I guess, it's time to listen to All's Well That Ends Well, Bone Palace Ballet and Illuminaudio back to back now.

Also, I don't claim that they are amazing, or great even, I just like them, a guilty pleasure, if you will.

Excellent news

these guys grew up here

they're douchebags

lol i'm surprised for the hate for this bamd

Depressing. Illuminaudio was fucking amazing, both musically and vocally.

Yeah I don't really see why people are hating on Illuminaudio at all.

I liked both Owens and the new guy, I think Owens is actually a better singer though but that's just my taste. I think everything Chiodos has done has been great with the possible exception of Bone Palace, wasn't a huge fan of that album. Overall I think they are/were a pretty talented band with some great instrumentals. I've always said that All's Well has some of the best piano implementation in post-hardcore.

"Tanner Wayne is such a good drummer. I wish he would convince Nick to leave D.R.U.G.S. and reform Underminded. That band was awesome."

Agreed. They broke up too soon. One of my favorite hardcore bands back in the day.

they're douchebags

I was a hardcore Chiodos fan and stopped listening to them after Craig left (yes I know, you hate Craig, you don't have to tell me again). I'm definitely a minority on this site but I would genuinely be interested if Craig came back.

brandon bolmer was the best thing that ever happened to this band, fuck

Bad news. New vocalist is partly what made the last album kick ass.[2]

Their name sucks. I hate reading it. Good Riddance.

Agreed andcas, def spent a lot of time in high school listening to that album.

This is still on my running mix: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3X5E3R4S9nQ

Honestly, I still enjoy most of the music I've listened to over the years, even the shitty nostalgic stuff. Goes off to listen to Ohio is for Lovers...

-__- Illuminaudio was good. Oh well....

their new album sucked compared to their previous two releases. i'm glad the singer's gone, at least.

oh please craig...i just hope he doesn't rejoin the band..

Tanner Wayne should go back and do a new underminded album, shit would be sick

Craig sucks dick, Brandon is so much better for the band. Band is dead now. [2]

massive nostalgia

shit i really dug how Brandon sounded on Illuminaudio. hopefully Craig doesn't join back that shrill bitch.

Without Brandon they're going to suck [9001]

Craig sucks dick, Brandon is so much better for the band. Band is dead now. [3]

This is unfortunate, i loved Illuminaudio and thought Brandon was overall a better singer than Craig. Hope to see future projects from him.

Well, back to being gay...

I've always liked chiodos, personally. Not even a guilty pleasure.

News doesn't really bother me, though. Also, both vocalists were awesome in this band.

Portnoy could always take over. He can scream too ;)

Ironic yes

last album was pretty good tbh

The last album completely rocked, the new guy was great vocally and I really wanted to hear where the band would go next... this sucks.

I would have to agree that Brandon is a better overall vocalist in the studio than Craig, but he just couldn't touch Craig's live vocals and stage presence.

BRING BACK CRAIG

Yeah this sounds like a death knell for the band, unless some miraculous reunion with Craig happens or another vocalist drops out of the sky.

i don't get why so many people think Craig is better than the new guy

I thought he fit the band well, other than that not sure.

the new singer is so much more powerful i wouldn't say unique but their sound became so much bigger

Personally always liked craig better in chiodos

but lets be honest drugs sucks

"but lets be honest drugs sucks"

STRAIGHT EDGE 4 LYFE

I've always -liked- Chiodos.
However, I -loved- Illuminaudio.

That was, primarily, due to the change in singer.
