Chiodos call it quits

2016-11-30 by TheSleepys | 84 Comments
The post-hardcore band Chiodos have finally disbanded after struggling to keep members around. At the same time, Craig Owens has announced his new band badXchannels.

In an interview with Billboard, vocalist Craig Owens stated in regards to Chiodos that, "It's done, it just couldn't stay afloat. There were just kind of, not necessarily bad vibes, but we came to the realization that we can't do it full-time. I think it just stopped becoming a passion for most of us so we said, 'Alright, let's stop."

Craig's new project badXchannels:

Craig has yet to do anything noteworthy outside of Chiodos despite his bazillion side projects and bands. D.R.U.G.S. was terrible.

JTW, Lover, the Lord Has left Us from Sound of Animals Fighting was dope, though I didn't think his participation was particularly great.

They should have kept Brandon w.e his name was, the singer before. THey'd probably still be going and far better than anything the band did with Owens.

Disappointing.

I'd be satisfied if it was even just the Illuminaudio lineup but doing that style with Prigden and Erak being themselves would be a real treat

They would never do Illuminaudio again. They almost broke up after that album. Craig was pretty much keeping this band on life support after the others kind of gave up.

Somewhat sad about this honestly. Have some nostalgia for the older music in my teens, the new album was disappointing but there were still some tracks over the last few years that will have me missing them.

calling illuminaudio chiodos' best is like calling tim couch the most successful qb in cleveland browns history. it might be technically true, but that doesn't make it much of an accomplishment.

Craig Owens left, the band made their best album by far, and then he came back and immediately ran it back into the ground.

"See, that's not the same franchise, no matter what they claim. That team moved to Baltimore and won 2 Super Bowls."

Hey man, if we are going to get technical here, Cleveland took Art to court and won. Also, Derek Anderson was the best QB that the browns had, but they completely fucked that up when they decided to develop Brady Quinn instead of him.

The rest of Chiodos should just bring back all the people that were responsible for Illumiaudio, rename the band, and start over. Craig Owens must be just awful to deal with.

It was because they all got tired of each other after illuminaudio. Some wanted to go back to school, others wanted to raise a family and the band did not have as much chemistry with Brandon or Tanner.
